I know this genre has fallen by the wayside to an extent, as it's harder and harder to find a lot of new hard rock music on FM radio. However, I've been rolling through the Alter Bridge catalog and they are a very good, inoffensive hard rock/lite metal band.

What are some others that consistently put out good music these days? I'm looking to discover some new bands.

I love AFI. They went from pure punk to mainstream.

Slash w/ Myles Kennedy is the best hard rock band in the business right now. That last album World on Fire was amazing.

New Bands? Of Mice And Men, Turbowolf, Beartooth, Apocalyptica, Saint Astonia, etc. Breaking Benjamin's new album puts them in the top tier of new rock IMO.

I've been listening to Red Line Chemistry lately. They're pretty good. I also suggest Aranda. Sure they have that ghey whiney "Satisfied" song, but the rest of the album is pretty good.

Shaman's Harvest has a pretty good sound too, their newer music is similar to Black Stone Cherry.
On that note the Black Stone Cherry and Folklore and Superstition albums by Black Stone Cherry are good. I stopped listening to them after that White Trash Millionaire song.
