I think I was probably overstating a bit when I dismissed ALL new rock. I still do find indie (or, more accurately, indie-influenced) bands that I like, such as the Shins, Franz Ferdinand and the Strokes.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the particular bands that are part of the current so-called "garage rock revival," like the Hives or the White Stripes. They are the more commercial end of the garage punk genre IMO, and there were a whole bunch of bands in the '90s that did that whole style of music far better and never got any mainstream recognition.

If you like the Hives or White Stripes, then check out the following bands if you haven't already.

Devil Dogs
New Bomb Turks
Teengenerate
Guitar Wolf
Mono Men
Makers
Mooney Suzuki
Oblivians
Pleasure Fuckers
