Mostly I've been discovering my favorite old classics (Joy Division+The Cure+The Smiths), checking out all the 80's music I missed and the evolution of the post-punk genre... may not be hip enough for this thread
The Birthday Party
We've all heard of Nick Cave right? (right?) This is him when he was a noise rocker, a deathrocker, and in Australia. A cult band, we could compare it to the rawest of blues music. Cave sounds ferocious.

Yura Yura Teikoku
I've recently gotten into them, exactly since I saw Love Exposure. Japanese psych rock...

Deerhunter
Minimalism, ambient, noise, psychedelia, garage rock that somehow manages to sound happy sometimes and clinically other times. I think Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. is a modern classic and one of the great musical efforts of the past decade.
