Live Skull were
contemporaries of Sonic Youth. I'm sure Sonic Youth would say they were just as influenced by Live Skull as vice versa. Same story with Swans. They all played together a lot in the post-no wave scene and toured together when they first got out of New York.
Since the guy was asking for new bands, and mostly, except from Adam, got old classic bands I'd say Liars would be around the top of the list (Unwound is fair too of course) of who he should check out.
Also (and I'm probably repeating other people, not making a comprehensive list, just who I like that fits the genre):
Black Dice (but early if you're looking for noise rock, their later stuff is great, but it's experimental music much more than noise rock)
Boredoms (also mutated into just plain experimental band, but the early stuff set the noise rock standard)
The Curtains
Cop Shoot Cop
Deerhoof (older mostly, they're probably more "noise pop" than rock)
The Flying Luttenbachers (experimental metal crossover)
Grindwall (awesome Italian band I found on My Space. reccomended!)
Hairy Pussy
Halo of Flies
Helmet (first couple of albums)
Karp (they get called "hardcore" a lot for some reason, and are the direct children of the Melvins)
Lightning Bolt
Melt Banana
Melvins (yes they mine the metal/grunge tip, but I still think they are primarily a noise rock band, and while not new, they 'aint dead either!)
Minus (kind of prog rock crossover)
Noggin (guitar/electric violin combo, not exactly rock, but not exactly not)
Painkiller (John Zorn, Bill Laswell, and Mick Harris the drummer from Napalm Death!)
Pink and Brown
Ruins
Skullflower (borders on just plain "noise" and even ambient, but great)
Surgery (waay Sonic Youth influenced)
Unsane
