I absolutely love CHVRCHES and VNV Nation. I have Screen Violence on vinyl and I love every second of it. It sits right next to my Arch Enemy and Spiritbox vinyls, heh.

To be honest, I've only ever heard one or two tracks from Maneskin, and I thought they were alright. As long as it was rock, I was happy hearing it mainstream. But, I agree that a lot of the more popular rock bands these days are simply just mimicking 60s and 70s rock trends, it's one of the reasons I've been looking outside of the Western world for rock. Apparently, Japan has a massive rock band population, and it's pretty amazing. Like I said in my response above, BAND-MAID is playing Lolla - if you haven't heard them, check them out. They're excellent rock and hard rock, and sound phenomenal live. Definitely check out the JP rock scene, there are a ton of gems in there.

I, honestly, haven't heard of any good straight up rock bands come out of the West outside of Volbeat and Ghost (and I love both, though Ghost is its own genre, imo). It's to the point where I don't really actively search out new rock bands and stick with metal, synth pop, and industrial (Covenant is touring the US!).
