I've listened to all of the standard recommendations for stuff that sounds like Dino Jr., but nothing really struck the same chords. What are some more obscure bands that do the sound well?
What else is similar?

You're living all over me is their only above average album.
Lucas Phillips
ikr?
the rest of their discography is so bland
Cameron Sanders
Owen Brooks
There's quite a few bands that are similar but Early J is such a weird guitarist, and Early Lou is such a weird bassist, there's very few bands that can strike the same chords. literally.
but if you haven't listened to Bug check it out. They Always Come is one of the most underrated songs in their whole discography.
Jace Walker
Thanks man
Daniel Brooks
i can understand not liking the s/t because it is pretty weird. but how do you people get into you're living all over me but not bug? im genuinely curious. bug isnt quite as strong but the sound is very similar
Asher Wood
Ovlov is a little closer to new Dino but they're still pretty good.
Brandon Cooper
Man I don't know how they go so under the radar I really enjoy both of their albums.
Chase Hughes
Early Built To Spill and Treepeople were both pretty influenced by early Dinosaur Jr. Honestly next to J, Doug is probably my favorite indie rock guitarist.

Perfect From Now On is definitely their best album, but they shed a lot of the Dino similarities.
I know right? super solid.
Logan Fisher
For a more modern take, Yuck wished so hard that they could be Dinosaur Jr that it kinda hurt.
Jaxson Reyes
i like their music but i'll never respect them for apologizing for being featured in World Peace.
Daniel Powell
ovlov is basically just the verse section of little fury things extended to the length of a full album
Thomas White
Thanks a bunch bros
Asher Morales
pretty much this, kinda in the best way possible. Their music sounds like a really satisfying yawn.
Andrew Flores
ironically them apologizing for being in world peace got me into mde.
William Walker
lol
Easton Hall
Bug is definitely above average.
Jaxon Morgan
Also if you haven't heard Hum, definitely check them out, a little more space rockey, and not so much country folky chord influences, but Downward Is Heavenward is as close to a masterpiece as you can get.
Nicholas Stewart
The second half of They Always Come blows me away every time. Don't think I would have kept listening to them to this day if it hadn't been for that.
Zachary Flores
you mean the screaming part? i need to check them out
Brandon Barnes
No that's the intro. The verse comes after that part.
Brandon Watson
Bro I don't care if this is Greta Van Fleeting my favourite 80s and 90s alt bands this is solid shit.
Alexander Hughes
That and the outro to No Bones, when J's guitar turns into a crying demon dolphin riding a wave of emotion and overdubbed acoustic guitars gives me shivers to this day.
How can J express so much intense emotion with his guitar, but when you talk to him he sounds like two napkins rubbing together?
Jace Harris
A little Cowpunkier, but definitely check out Dead Moon.
Gavin Turner
I like these guys too.
Adam Bailey
my band happens to be the new dino jr, check us

Eli Flores

sad boy lyrics and crazy solos

Jackson Cooper
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Their fist album is even better than this one, when they were just Dinosaur. Also J. was in the hardcore band Deep Wound before Dinosaur which was also pretty good.
Carter Reed
Fu Manchu - The Action is Go.
Ryan Collins
I made this chart a while back and never used it anywhere.
It's not completely related but there are some of the bands are similar to what you're looking for.
Ethan James
Obviously, Sonic Youth if you're not already listening to their 80s material, get on it.
Jaxon Hughes
What are the "standard recommendations" for stuff that sounds like Dinosaur Jr? For the me the obvious choice would be the Wipers but there's no way you listened to them because they're a much better band.
Andrew Campbell
The standard picks are Pavement, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Sebadoh, and Archers of Loaf. And I'm actually a huge wipers fan.
Nolan Hughes
How far have you dived into each of those bands material? I'm guessing only a few songs on their most popular albums.
Robert Walker
Yep in fact I have only heard Gold Soundz, Teenage Riot, Today, Flame, and Web in Front respectively. In fact I listen to them so little, I made sure to specify that people don't recommend them to me because I am so familiar with their music.
Jose Baker
Marijuana
Andrew Morris
Considering J is straightedge, more like autism
John Myers
Beyond is an underrated album and really deserves more love.
Tyler Cox
They all sound the same, nerd.
