[Discussion] Desperate for new music, but no idea where to start looking? tomhandy

This might be a common theme on this sub (I'm new here, sorry if it is) but I seriously can't find a way to regularly find new music/ bands. I've read Pitchfork / Consequence of Sound / Rolling Stone but they all seem to be an echo chamber of sorts.

Edit: Holy crap, I'm so grateful for each of your responses, lots of new bookmarks for me! I'll start compiling a list here of recommendations for any future redditors in the same pickle as me:

Blogs:

Gorilla Vs. Bear

ThisIsYoursNow (bi-weekly newsletter)

Bandcamp search funtion (search by genre)

wfuv.org (radio station)

They want to share their knowledge with the world by creating a blog & sharing playlists based around specific ideas, along with adding in some historical context, but didn't seem set on how to go about it or get readers. In our talks, I asked if they'd considered sharing their knowledge with reddit, but they're not much of a redditor and said they weren't quite su
