I'll second (or third) The Mars Volta. I haven't been able to find their new EP for download yet, so I just have to wait for the release date.
I also agree with the comment about Dizzee Rascal, great hip hop, but I'm not sure if it'll ever catch on here. According to people I've showed it to, they "cant understand him".
Also, I dont think it's new, but Jehst. A friend just sent me one of his CDs (I have no idea how many CDs he has out) and it is some of the best hip hop I've heard in at least 3 years. Of course, he's british too, so I'm sure the same people wouldn't be able to understand him. Their loss.
My new Crotchduster CD is amazing! Anyone into metal with quite a bit of humor should check them out.
My Arsis CD I just ordered today. The Red Chord I just got last night. I haven't heard much of either one, but I was impressed with what little I heard from both.
If the new Tool ever comes out, I'm sure I'll be excited about that.
