I was wanting some suggestions of other bands that I could look up.

What I'm listening to:
Bayside
Blind Melon
Bob Marley
Brand New
Crash Kings
Damian Marley
Death Cab For Cutie
The Dirty Heads
Metric
MGMT
Modest Mouse
Oasis
Slightly Stoopid
Sublime
Thrice

[zackm]

So 1st off,
Modest Mouse, MGMT, Soasin, and Bayside are beast!
I suggest All Time Low, The Almost, Paramore, and Jack's Manequin.

[Nelson]

Paramore is pretty win..

[Saosin]

If you like Bayside you should really check out Brand New.
And my brother has some of Jack's Manequin, i'll definitely check them out!

[Contra]

-Arctic Monkeys
-Blur
-Deerhunter
-Florence and the Machine
-Goldfrapp
-Klaxons
-The Morning Benders
-Phoenix
-Radiohead
-Surfer Blood
-Tame Impala
-The Temper Trap
-Vampire Weekend

These all belong to different types of alternative, but you should check them out.
Oh, and I love MGMT!

[Syvelocin]

Umm. Well. You might like Between the Trees? You like Bayside, you might like them.

One of my favourite artists ever covered a Death Cab For Cutie song :P I don't like Death Cab For Cutie myself, but she's [ulr=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwx1idzVbwE]Amanda Palmer[/url] if you're interested.

I'm holding on to the fact that you like Oasis and Metric so...

Metric is pretty much a new wave/indie band, with a bit of that mainstream sound. I'd try Frou Frou, maybe Imogen Heap's first album, I Megaphone? You might also want to try some stuff more on the electronic side. IAMX has a great sound, you might like them, mostly their newest album in this case.

You might want to listen to more Britpop, since you like Oasis.

If you want my own alt. rock I listen to, here you go.
The Airborne Toxic Event
Frou Frou
Placebo
The Cure
Garbage
The Smiths
Pixies
Tegan and Sara

Can't help but saying, you've got a bit of a reggae taste as well, you might want to mention. I don't like reggae myself, but my cousin Jessica is married to a guy who recently released his debut reggae album, his name is Kofi James and the album is called New Name. Otherwise, I don't know much reggae :P

The Smiths. if you like alternative, and from what i can see you enjoy early alternative music, i think youd really like em

[IDon'tLikeUsernames]

I LOVE Metric :). A friend and I went to a concert of theirs last summer and got hooked on their songs for days!

If you love them, check out Mother Mother. Their sound is fun and simple, yet complex and intricate at the same time. Kind of hard to explain

[Saosin]

And for those who care, I have found a few more acoustic artists.
Dustin Kensrue- Lead singer of Thrice's solo stuff.
Eddie Vedder- Pearl Jam's singer solo stuff
Chris Garneau
Anders Osbourne

DUDE I love saosin,

My favorite song by them is Deep down, and The worst of me :D

[Matt24]

I really like The Black Keys, Muse, Neutral Milk Hotel (if that counts), Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, and The White Stripes.

[zackm]

The Black Keys are pretty cool.
I also like The Postal Service, and this isn't alteranitive but Matisyahu is pretty good. He's a rapping jewish guy that expresses the problems in the world witht his songs.

Foster the People
Two Door Cinema Club (my favorite)
Vampire Weekend
The Offspring
Sleigh Bells
