Im grateful that Tool finally gave in to public pressure and allowed their music to be streamed. When ITunes first came out and other streaming platforms became a thing. Tool refused to let their music be streamed because they wanted to “preserve the album experience”. It wasn’t until 2019 that you could find Tool on Spotify.

Do they not realise you can stream an album?
I think the only functioning CD player I have is in my car. Assuming it works, I’ve never actually used it.

I love buying CDs but almost never insert them into a drive after initially ripping them to add to my MP3 collection

There is an absolutely insane amount of new rock music. More rock music is being made today than ever before in the history of music.

Idk, the rock music I find is either:
I just don’t know how to find decent new rock music these days.
That said, there are a few decent ones I’ve found recently:
All of those are from Europe (hard for me to find) and were formed in the 2000s. At least Volbeat makes it to my local radio station, which is cool.

I’ve been on the lookout for new to me artists and new artists to explore the catalogues of because I’ve realized my music library is very much trapped in the early 2000s and I need to keep finding new stuff so my taste doesn’t become stagnent and boring. My approaches are:

Awesome! This reminds me a lot of Flyleaf and old Paramore, and both are totally my jam. Thanks!
But this is kind of my point. I don’t have a great way to find this type of music. I’ve been looking for newer music in genres I like, and I’ve largely been unsuccessful. I found The Interrupters just a couple years ago, and that’s after looking for years for new rock bands and they’re a bit outside my preferred genre and also started in 2011.
The Haunt is much closer to what I’m looking for, but they’ve also been around since 2015. Likewise for Light the Torch, they’re pretty close to what I like, and they’ve been around since 2012.
I used to get most of my new music from radio stations, word of mouth from friends, and occasionally record stores, but the radio either plays old music (Black Sabbath, Metallica, etc), newer genres (hiphop, pop, etc), or old bands that are making new music (e.g. the new Linkin Park w/ Emily Armstrong).
I don’t go to shows much anymore, and there aren’t any record stores really anymore, and I don’t use streaming services like Spotify because I hate subscriptions. So finding new music is incredibly difficult, and by the time I do find a cool artist, they’re already like 10-15 years old and aren’t really making new music anymore.
So yeah, I miss the days when radio stations were interesting.
