Kids aren't stinkier these days. I think it's just that teenager odors are less appealing to me as I grow older. Go figure.
I made it to two sweaty concerts in two sweaty SLC weeks, dragging my friend Kaleb to Streetlight Manifesto and Brett to Teenage Bottlerocket. Both were good, but seeing TBR for the first time was especially fun (though I can't underestimate the coolness of hearing Tomas Kalnoky sing "Dear Sergio" for the first time, more than a decade after I first met the song).
I've been writing about Streetlight for years, but if you like Ramones-esque pop punk, you better check out TBR.
Here are my reviews from the shows:
Teenage Bottlerocket
(And here's an interview with TBR)

Interesting. I actually like this Band of Horses album less than their last two... although I still like it.
The only other album I have heard is LCD. I like it a lot.
I really love Minus the Bear, but I have not been able to get my hands on this album. (Meaning neither library has it yet.)
I'll have to check out some of the other stuff you recommended.
I forgot to actually note which ones are worth checking out:
Titus Andronicus
David Bazan
Minus the Bear
(let me know if you need copies)
Actually, I have the Titus Andronicus and I do not like it at all. (sorry)
I hate the Hold Steady.
I sent you a message about stuff and stuff.
Hate Titus Andronicus? Then, I won't recommend Gaslight Anthem.
