I don't know how big your town is, but you could put up flyers at music stores to try and recruit some people who are into the same music that you are. Other than that, I think the most important thing is to go out to local shows and get to know the people in your local music scene. If there are no local bands that you like, there must be a nearby city or something with some talent. If you're only into big, popular bands like the ones you mentioned and don't give a shit about anybody who is starting out, well why should anybody give a shit about you?

eek that sounded kinda rude but it wasn't meant to be ><
