I need some help finding some new bands, I've kinda heard everything from the bands I like the most and need something new that's similar to the bands I like, wich are: Radiohead, Muse, The Mars Volta, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Mew, Soulwax, Sonic Youth, Pixies, At The Drive-In, Velvet Underground, Neil Young.

Or just some good band recommondations.

Thanks for for any kind of help.

At the Drive in is my favorite band, I suggest you listen to some Fugazi and Drive like Jehu, both were heavy influences on at the drive in.
