@avesbury_rosetta well it depends on where you live. If you live in a large city, go to music shops and look at what they have. Ask people who seem like they aren't busy, what they recommend. Go to local shows, you should wear a mask but im not your mom.

if you dont live in a large city, There are chatrooms on irc and discord. A forum for the specific genre your into is good too. wikipedia often has alot of bands listed by genre. Bandcamp is another place to look around.
