I feel like I haven't heard any fresh new acts in a long time. Are there any great up and coming rock groups? For your reference I like loud guitars and good melodies. Screaming/growling should be kept to a minimum. I don't mind some softer stuff if it's really creative/melodic.

Red and Decyfer Down

ooo and Disciples new album "Scars Remain" looks promising... I dont have it, but ive heard a few tracks off of it and they're good.... but you may have to pick and choose if you dont like sreaming

well watch out for my debut cd in a few years. NO SCREAMING!!!! i hate screaming

I like it when it's done right. For instance, one of my favorite bands is The Juliana Theory who have been known to scream to great effect. Most of what they do is very melodic, though.

"Scars Remain", "My Hell", and "Regime Change" are the ones I've heard... very good

I can't decide if I like Flyleaf or not. I think I do. *listens to songs*

I think my favorite is I can feel you All around me Thickening the Air I'm breathing Holding on to What I'm feeling Savoring this Heart that's healing

It goes without saying that Dragonforce is awesome.
