I also have a subscription to emusic, and I check out the stuff that has come out that month or year, mostly in the punk section. Also, I have bands that I've followed for years, and I look around the internets to see if they got anything new coming out. Following them on facebook also helps.

And occasionally, I also like something someone else introduces to me. Though not often, because then I can't say I heard it first! Gotta keep my music snob credibility up after all, eh? (Actually, there've been a few bands I've discovered through fellow TFFers over the years: Say Anything, Nightwish, and Dream Theater come to mind.) Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom
Ok, my answer is very simple. How do I discover new music? From contests --> Global Song Contest 53 - Split, Croatia (closed at the moment) and Nation Song Contest PT - Portal (open, but only in portuguese)
