Peter Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 "Indie" often refers to an artist or band that is not part of the mainstream culture and/or making music outside its influence. Though the sound of these bands may differ greatly, the "Indie" definition comes from the do-it-yourself attitude and ability to work outside large corporations. Even though it's such a broad spectrum, a lot of it has a familiar sound to it. A lot of it is alternative more than anything else, but just has a different sound to it, I can't quite explain it. Some of my favorite Indie bands are Dispatch Pinback, Spoon, The Shins, Modest Mouse, The Beautiful Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Sigur Ros could probably go down as sme type of indie :P I like them also. Others I like include The Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, The Shins (as others mentioned), Bloc Party, The Bravery, The Postal Service, Interpol, Kings of Leon & then some more well known types like The Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo and The Killers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
