can't speak for OP but for me, surprisingly, youtube shorts. Once that damn thing gets your algo figured out for you suddenly you can start finding bands that are in your wheelhouse. Start by looking for shorts on your current favourite bands and eventually new stuff will start popping up that should be similar to your taste.

Honestly for all the crap that's on youtube, shorts has been one of if not the best tool for me to find new music/bands. Once I find something I like then it's off to SoulSeek/Nicotine+ to add it to my server.
