Wow, someone who's heard of Quicksand and likes them. Awesome. Also digging the ATDI/TMV/Sparta stuff; I like ATDI best, and between TMV and Sparta I like Sparta much more.
Thumbs up for all of the Keane mentions in this thread too.
Here are ten artists I'm really into at the moment:
1. Finch. AWESOME. (Listen to What is to Burn, the CD and the song)
2. Ryan Farish (relaxing New Age)
3. Foo Fighters (I'm really discovering this band, and liking The Colour and the Shape, esp. My Hero and Everlong)
4. Weezer (hated them first, now I really like them)
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers (liked them, then hated, now I like them again)
6. Jack's Mannequin (I really like the song Dark Blue, among others)
7. Modest Mouse (hated them first, now I really like them)
8. Anberlin (new nu-metal angst that I like nowadays, esp. Feel Good Drag)
9. The Ataris (awesome)
10. Interpol, just because.
