Rock Bands definitely worth checking out!

Music is a stress-reliever for some and for others, a passion, a way of life. For the people who fall in the latter group, the genre Rock is widely familiar. High-scaled songs with heavy drumming and electric guitars throttling at full power (well maybe not FULL power) normally defines a rock song in my opinion. This genre started in the early 1940s and 1950s. But, rock music in the 50s is a whole lot different from the rock songs we listen to today. The great bands like The Beatles no longer exist, well, they only exist in our hearts and on records. But, do not fret! Some great modern rock bands do exist and might be worth checking out:

1.Linkin Park: Linkin Park is a rock, nu-metal band from California, USA. While some of their songs are nu-metal, most are rock, alternative rock and hard rock. They are the most searched-for band on Youtube. Some of their great hits include Numb, What I've Done, In The End, Points Of Authority, From The Inside and The Catalyst. You guys can check out their latest album titled 'A Thousand Suns' on iTunes or anywhere you find.

2. Seether: Seether is a post grunge, alternative rock band from South Africa. The band was formed in 1999 and formerly known as Saron Gas.

You can check out their famous album American Idiot, which has some good rock songs.

5. Nickelback: Nickelback is a famous Canadian rock band formed in the year 1995. They mostly do hard rock and alternative metal songs, but some of their rock songs are really awesome. Their hit singles include Burn It To The Ground, How You Remind Me, Rockstar, Far Away which is a soft-rock song. Their latest album Here And Now was released in the later part of 2011. Here And Now may be a disappointment to some, so I would recommend you check their previous albums and specially their album All The Right Reasons first.
