Looking for new bands to listen to - not mainstream?

Question

I just need some new songs to put on my ipod. I will listen to anything, but don't suggest anything mainstream or popular because chances are I've already heard of them. I'm looking for something a bit more underground or lesser-known, anything from punk to indie to pop/alternative.
