The style of rock you mentioned, there are tons of those types of bands. Bands like 10 Years, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Earshot, Breaking Benjamin, Deaf Pedestrians, Theory of a Deadman...there's a bunch of them and the list can go on forever.

Try going onto any mp3 related site or Myspace to look for any of these kinds of bands.

Hope that helps.

Ya theres a ton of them but here you go: EXIES, Seether, 3 Days Grace, Crossfade, Chevelle, Evans Blue, Armor For Sleep, Bloodsimple, Bullet For My Valentine, Red, Saliva, Coheed & Cambria, Course Of Nature, Burn Season, Shadows Fall, Egypt Central, Hinder, Rise Against, Matchbook Romance, Serj Tankien, Saving Abel, Mercy Fall, Revelation Theory, Sixx AM, Submersed, Operator, Priestess, Scars On Broadway, Thousand Foot Krutch (Maybe), Thrice, Velvet Revolver... In addition to the ones the person above gave you.

These listed above and my previous list should give you plenty to work with. There are tons of radio rock bands in existence plus it gets played somewhere on this planet. I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. Good luck with your hunt.

Well, going off what you're wanting, here's a list I compiled of what you might like:

Breakdown
Follow Me
Sooner Or Later
Firefly
Until the End
