One of my favorite contemporary bands, Finom(formerly Ohmme), might give you the vibe you’re looking for. Top notch songwriting! Laden with influences ranging from Arto Lindsay to The White Stripes throughout.

I feel like instead of recreating grunge a lot of the kids just rediscovered Nirvana, but I’m interested to see if anyone has found some acts I just haven’t heard of.

Fever333 has a RATM thing going on that you might like. I got into some of the stoner/doom stuff out of my love for Soundgarden, there’s plenty to find if you like that Sabbath-y heavy riff sound. Some of the old alt bands are still kicking: Obv Pearl Jam is still doing it, and they still cut a great album, The Pixies, QOTSA, Afghan Whigs, Built to Spill, Weezer, all released good albums in the last few years. You might also like some stuff that hits some alt rock feelings like Blancmange, The Rentals, Wunderhorse, Paolo Nutini, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Wet Leg, Ty Segall.

Some of the bands and solo artist spin offs of the big rock acts in the early 2000s have continued to write killer tunes - Tom Morello, Jack White, Black Keys, Son Volt, Night Beats.

Maybe that’s enough of a start?

Wolf Alice, King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Buke and Gase, Queens of the Stone Age is still kicking…
