I've been playing this album non-stop for two weeks. It's like a mixture of Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine and other hints of 90s rock. The vocals may turn off some people, but I absolutely love this album. Puts me in a good mood every time, and it's a nice throwback.

Ponytail- Ice Cream Spiritual

If you like Deerhoof or Lightning Bolt, you'll dig this. Vocals are insane, but these guys mix psychedelia with urgency. They have a new album coming out very soon...

Another band that loves throwback sounds: Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Sonic Youth, etc. Very cool spring/summer music.

Health- Get Color
A lot of people call this dance-punk. I call it heroin space punk. Nothing really sounds like these guys right now.

Wild Nothing- Gemini
Somebody likes the Smiths and The The. And it's this guy. Enjoyable album nonetheless.
i'll be checking out Yuck and The Pain of Being Pure at Heart.
edit*
Digging Yuck so far.
Been meaning to listen to Health, will report back
Only know Belong and Health of these. Gonna check out some more s00n
edit: my bad, I thought it was the ambient/drone band Belong
Pains of Being Pure at Heart is gooooood.
Everybody must check out Ponytail. Such a ridiculously good band. At first I thought they had sampled some kid, never realized it was an actual singer, but hell I think it fits so well.
Their new album is also mind-blowing, always makes me happy listnening to it.
Gonna check out Yuck btw

Stop trying to be so alternative. They are terrible.
you mad?
no
I won't hang myself if you don't like them, but just saying: they're good. And to be honest I don't find them that alternative. They play techy rock with w
eird vocals. hurray!
They play rock that sounds like utter shit in my ears. Whatever floats your boat though. My loss i guess.There's so many modern underground rock acts that sound like shit nowadays. Almost as if it was the new cool thing. These guys aren't even trying. I mean Lightning bolt at least kick some ass, and rock out whilst sounding like shit. This is just bullshit methinks.
Wild Nothing's Gemini is such a fun album. I usually listen to bands on the darker side of the spectrum, but I'm really digging this. Puts a smile on my face. I think the song "Gemini" is the best on the album.
