Who is the best American rock band right now?

I am watching this thread closely and enjoying discovering the few bands I hadn’t heard of, but it is pretty funny that everyone is just naming bands with massive followings that started like 30 years ago. Would love some more current suggestions!

I saw counting crows at red rocks last September- great show! That said, old band

None of those are current bands. OP said “right now.”

If you asked “Who is the biggest rock band right now?” in 1975 or 1985 or 1995, it would be very easy to come up with answers. Not any more. Kind of sad.

I mean/ petty has been dead for a
Long time. DCUM never fails to evoke a giggle.
