Fleet Foxes!!!!

x2
 
An absolutely astounding Folk Rock group with only two albums and one EP under their belt, but they make each and every second count like it's their last. Some of the most soul-touching music I have ever listened to.

... X3 for Fleet Foxes !! ... First album is a ****ing masterpiece, second album is excellent too ...

Maybe it's more Psychedelic thank Folk rock but
 
Fat Mattresses,
 
it's Jimi Hendrix's bass player Noel Redding on Lead guitars! Pretty awesome stuff [the bassist for Noel Groups is a better bass player than him to ;3]
 
Ooh I just remembered another good band
 
Octoberman... although they might be more "indie" than folk <.<

I'd also like to recommend "I Want That You Are Always Happy" by The Middle East.  Fantastic album.

+1 on Ray Lamontagne - to me he is the very best - blows Dylan out of the water.
+1 Mumford and Sons
+1 Angus and Julie Stone
 
dont know if i would call him "rock"  but Joe Purdy is also a phenomenal not so well known Folk artist.

All great bands thus far; if anyone is interested in more of a hard rock take on the genre blackbird raum could be worth your time.
Just incase someone checks them out and hates them i'll +1 to bon iver to keep this relevant
