Hello everyone, first time poster!

I've just recently (last 2 years) really started branching out and exploring my music tastes, mostly through Pandora. I found that my favorite genre of music is alternative rock and my favorite bands are Weezer, Pixies, White Stripes, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. However, I feel that I've hit a wall and haven't really found any new music lately. I've been trying different Pandora stations for different bands but it seems like I just get the same bands over and over.

However, I found a pattern in my top 3 or so favorite songs which are "Where is My Mind" by the Pixies, "Tyler" by toadies, "Strange" by Built to Spill, and not one of my favorite songs but "Three Point One Four" by Bloodhound Gang. These songs all seem to have the same guitar rhythm and similar baselines.

I was wondering if anyone knows any songs that sound similar to these ones and any suggestions for branching out and discovering new alternative rock music.

Thanks!
