Rage Against the Machine - Bombtrack, Calm Like a Bomb, Testify, People of the Sun
C'mon, its rage
Dismemberment Plan - Life Of Possibilities
Awesome indie band. Incredibly layered, complex music.
Rancid - Fall Back Down, Radio, Ruby Soho, Maxwell Murder
Feel good punk rock
Elvis Costello - Pump It Up, Less Than Zero, Oliver's Army
His music covers all genres but these songs in particular have a rock/punk feel to them.
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady
Guitar legend, revolutionary.
Pedro the Lion - Indian Summer, Amazing Love
Mellow indie rock. Awesome chill music.
Bouncing Souls - True Believers, Here We Go
Fun, energetic rock.
Poison the Well - Nerdy, Ghostchant
Angry Screamo, gets the blood pumpin.
