Any 2000-2010 bands that sound like 80s Hard Rock?

I would say of all the bands posted, here were the groups (and songs) I enjoyed the most:

Soul Doctor (First Man on the Moon)
Sunstorm (House of Dreams)
101 South (Lonely Heart) - eh
Places of Power (In Your Wildest Dreams)
Wolf (Speed On)
CRASHDIET
Jettblack?
Dante Fox

Hopefully these guys are still active, especially in the L.A. area and I can follow them on Facebook, their own sites, and get with their scene! :-)

Yes, most of the above bands are still active. I definitely know Crashdiet and Soul Doctor have recently released new music.

Dante Fox isn't an L.A. band, though. I believe they are located in England. Might want to check Dante Fox - Official Website

I'm wondering; are there any radio stations playing any of these guys? I'm trying to figure out how anyone is discovering these acts? Or are they just relying mostly on festivals?

Hey Dairren, I think I have a legit suggestion. I have a new c.d. by a group called Taking Dawn and a thread on them in the 2,010 section and our own Magic says they are like a cross between Theory of a Deadman and Cinderella! Let me know what you think!
