Anyone got any modern (from the 00s) bands worth listening to?

Karnivool

From the album 'Sound Awake'
* My personal album of 2009, Karnivool are a great Aussie Prog. band. I think this is one of the best written songs too. I've posted this many times... :p:

The Butterfly Effect

From the album 'Begins Here'
* Yep another Prog. band. From Australia too, The Butterfly Effect sort of started a new wave of bands in this country to adopt this sound. They have heavier songs but this one I've always loved...

Paul Dempsey

From the album 'Everything Is True'
* I'm only posting Aussie artists sorry, I'll see if I can muster up some other bands. Paul Dempsey is from a great band called 'Something For Kate' and if it wasn't for Karnivools 'Sound Awake'I would put his solo album as my favourite from last year. Immensely good album. Very talented and overlooked performer...

Anyone got any modern (from the 00s) bands worth listening to? I also wouldn't mind any folk type stuff, in the vein of Elliott Smith or Neutral Hotel Milk. It can be a singer songwriter or a band. Thanks to anyone who can help :beer:

They I guess would be classified with the neo-prog, rock, indie label. If you are interested youtube a couple vids or find the album Six (1998)
