You, sir, listen to some fine music! Circa Survive and the xx are also favorites of mine!

I'm also all over the spectrum but currently, 
I'm a bit more into throwbacks, such as Fabulous, Ashanti, Ja Rule, P Diddy, etc 

But if you're not into that I'd recommend Little Comets, Baths, Alt-j, Chairlift, Coasts, and the 1975. To name a few good Indie bands!
Hope you like them
Enjoy x

I would say ADTR but you listed it.... I found today on iTunes a band called Five Finger Death Punch. They are rock and pretty good. Also Hands Like Houses, We As Human, and Tenacious D.
