Anyone got any modern (from the 00s) bands worth listening to?
I also wouldn't mind any folk type stuff, in the vein of Elliott Smith or Neutral Hotel Milk. It can be a singer songwriter or a band.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Even though Bernard Fanning is a part of Powderfinger and they started before the 00's I'd like to suggest this...
Tea & Sympathy
His solo album is amazing and was released in 2005. You should check that out if you didn't know about it. It's folky and very acoustic, great songwriting and I think he sounds better here than he does in Powderfinger. You may have already heard 'Wish You Well' as it was huge here in Australia and I think it was big in the UK too. the album has a lot of stand outs but I couldn't find vids for all the songs I wanted to post, sorry.
