Guided By Voices
The Hold Steady
The Replacements

realwesleywess.bsky.social•29 days ago

I highly recommend Linkin Park, especially their new album "From Zero", that came out last year.

essdubs.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sort of adjacent to your tastes, but an album that brought me as much joy as hearing Dookie for the first time is Kal Marks's 'My Name is Hell'

ghoulieghostie.bsky.social•29 days ago

I recommend @bigblackdelta.bsky.social 🫶

ledlogic.bsky.social•29 days ago

The Suburbs, or Polyrock.

You should check out Glow On by Turnstile

Give Martha a listen! They’re a class punky anarchist four piece from County Durham

Into It. Over It. and Pet Symmetry! They've been around for a short bit, but the music is tasteful and fun. Some classify it as Emo. Great lyrics.

Half Man Half Biscuit and The Fall.
Good luck.

“Dad rock” immediately puts They Might Be Giants on the list, icl (Flood is fantastic and I saw it live last year!) — then I’m gonna put rock for 6 Music Dads on here by adding boygenius and Yard Act to your list!

bernietranders.bsky.social•29 days ago

Listened to Birdhouse In Your Soul and I very much enjoyed the vibe

duckenjoyer.gay•29 days ago

Birdhouse is great — also it’s not on Flood but I think you’d enjoy Dr Worm!

kynex.bsky.social•29 days ago

I mean, a lot of people see TMBG as a joke band, but I legitimately like them.
Don’t Lets Start is great, Hotel Detective raises more questions than it answers and Anna Ng is just catchy af.

shithottake-shroom.bsky.social•29 days ago

If you like classic PatD sound, go with Jhariah. IfNotForMe is another favorite band of mine (and I'm definitely not biased because they're from my area)
Other suggestions from my main playlist:
Amity affliction
Dying wish
Currents
Free Friends
South Arcade
And Chumps
I'll tag accounts if I can

shithottake-shroom.bsky.social•29 days ago

Only one I was able to find here on blue sky was @jhariah.bsky.social

seamusheaney.bsky.social•29 days ago

Not quite dad rock (a few songs fit the bill) but Dirty Loops are a wonderful Swedish funk rock band. Imagine a band where every musician is the most talented member of the band.

give The Protomen a listen to. some good rock loosley based off megaman, an excellent cover album

clareworley.bsky.social•29 days ago

If they haven’t already been recced: Rory Gallagher, and Thin Lizzy. More guitar solos than you can shake a fretboard at.

ccarabello.bsky.social•29 days ago

Spanish Love Songs
Tash Sultana

I’m really liking Boston Manor atm, they’re an emo/alt band from Blackpool.
ofc my all time faves Fall Out Boy and Paramore are still going strong 🍜

Kay, not rock per se, but very psychedelic. But I really am digging Matt Berry’s “Heard Noises” album that dropped last week. Its acid jazz meets psychedelic rock. Canada Dry stands out for me.

Will also recommend Wintersleep, Arkells, Maneskin.

They're not dad rock but definitely emo

Thornhill
Loathe
Sleep Token
Fleshwater

buddhaakame.bsky.social•28 days ago

📌

chrisdarby.bsky.social•29 days ago

Have you tried Cake?

bobo3f1.bsky.social•29 days ago

try foo fighters, weezer, or queens of the stone age for a mix of emo, dad rock, and guitar solos.

samjoshphillips.bsky.social•29 days ago

Okay so I’m not a rock expert but my personal faves in that area (leaning more guitar melodic rock than Green Day’s punk)

- The National (anything really but Sleep Well Beast album is their guitar peak imo)
- The War on Drugs (Strangest Thing is the best guitar tone I’ve ever heard)
- Boygenius

smithxiv.bsky.social•29 days ago

Was going to recommend War on Drugs too. Won't regret it.

bernietranders.bsky.social•29 days ago

Listening to Strangest Thing and you are so right about the guitar, this is phenomenal

hollymalinde.bsky.social•28 days ago

sawyer hill is newer, and a really interesting emo/grunge cross with the occasional 70s glam https://open.spotify.com/track/3026J9KqMPKPsObZXyOlKx?si=TZ2vwmNLQLu0gdnxYz7xJA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4RKT0dao3wzOE4ONfrOT6q

dekaye1990.bsky.social•29 days ago

Rise Against
Stray From The Path
Wind Walkers (specifically the most recent album)
Rain City Drive
Too Close To Touch
And I'm gonna throw Sleep Token in there because they fit just about everybody lol

elaineboby.bsky.social•29 days ago

I just rediscovered the violent femmes. They are so good it’s crazy and great guitar solos. Probably not an out of box rec, but that’s what I’m into right now.

kerrythenik.bsky.social•29 days ago

Saw them live in CoMo in 1983. Awesome band.

simonpisme.bsky.social•29 days ago

More punk than emo, but The Levellers' album Peace lights a rip roaring fire.

jukeblimp.bsky.social•29 days ago

Doesn't fit dad rock, but I'll always recommend Stand Atlantic.

bernietranders.bsky.social•29 days ago

Am a fan! Don’t know how I came across coffee at midnight but that was the song that got me into them

aitchgkr.bsky.social•29 days ago

Partner suggests
Brass Against & Led Zeppelin

irisfenby.bsky.social•28 days ago

Paramore, Violent Soho, Gang of Youths, Jebediah

shaunkeegan.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sub Radio are worth a look. Indie pop punk, did the very funny Stacy's Dad and Bi Bi Bi during the pandemic on YouTube but their actual music bops

bernietranders.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh 1990something is a tune, I can definitely see myself returning to them, thank you!

shaunkeegan.bsky.social•29 days ago

And tbh, just so camp and fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANlg297AHU

shaunkeegan.bsky.social•29 days ago

It's a banger! I'm going to see them live next week, hoping for a fab show 😀 This is a must watch tho, as it's just fun and queer:

andysimpson5.bsky.social•29 days ago

On the basis of dad rock and guitar solos, turn the radio on, tune it to Planet Rock and enjoy! 🤟

eccentricman87.bsky.social•29 days ago

The last new guitar-soloy album that blew me away was Jack White's 'No Name' - most stripped down/rootsy thing since the first three albums with Meg

adrifteradrift.bsky.social•29 days ago

I was just listening to The Raging Nathans and The Ex-Boyfriends today and they’re both pretty awesome. A little older in tone than emo, but still pretty fantastic punk rock.

Like right there before punk went full-blown pop punk. Lots of good melodies but substantial lyrics.

isntdave.bsky.social•29 days ago

Los campesinos! Are a super lovely emo band who’ve had a sudden accidental resurgence that’s had them release a banger new album and are very excellent people and clever lyricists too

bernietranders.bsky.social•29 days ago

I enjoyed “romance is boring” so a band I may return to I think, thank you!
