Wah! I've just started listening to the Arcade Fire. Rebellion is one of the best songs i've heard in a while.

 

 

 

Anyway, the best indie bands out at the moment have to be The Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers, and Franz Ferdinand

The Indie genre pretty much sums up everything I listen to but I still don't like calling it Indie. It just sounds like a cutsey name for alternative. I'd say some of my favorite "Indie" bands are Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, and Death Cab for Cutie.

indie stands for independent... and was most likely created out of hate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"indie" bands hated the fact that radio bands made music solely to make money and not because they were conveying thier own feelings... bands like bright eyes and death cab are the so-called "indie" bands because they dont have their record label hounding them to make radio hits...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at least that was the definition i heard, i dont really know, because i dont really believe in genre labels

Yes indie techincally means independant, but it's really not that simple.

Well, I followed the link from Peter's signature to Meltcore, and after going over to 'Spoon's website and liking their music, found myself looking surprised in my music shop, as they stocked one of their CD's 'Gimme Fiction', which i subsequentley bought.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's good stuff.

I recently got into "Bloc Party", don't know if they can be considered "indie", the term is rather vague, I think. But meh. I never though their singer was a black man btw.

Yeh, my friend gave me their album 'Silent Alarm' and first of all I dismissed it as boring. But then after giving it another chance, i found that their melodies are freakishly catchy, and its so different, if you give it a chance, it will blow you away!

manipofsarahs1gg5.png

Ahh yes Bloc Party are great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One band whose album I recently got was Belle and Sebastian. Brilliant stuff.

sig2ho7.jpg

Heh, Belle and Sebastian are on my "to listen" list for ages now. :( Heard from then when I saw High Fidelity about 1,5 year ago, but I can't get around listening to them. :P
