I was introduced to these guys back in 2010, they just crowdsourced their third album and it's streaming for free for a bit. Check it out because it's amazing:

is not ground breaking stuff, but what they do, they do it right, I really liked this stuff, the guitars are on your face and there are some raspiness in the vocals that i liked too.

i like!

I was also introduced to this band in 2010. "The Last Frontier" was the first song I heard, I like it very much. "Redshift" is one of the finest ballads I've heard.
