Good Indie Music

[mozartv]

I have recently started listening to more indie related music, and have enjoyed it a lot. What are some good indie bands that aren't recieving a lot of attention? I would like to know of some good bands that haven't received much attention. Please respond!

[EightMilesHigh]

Television. The Velvet Underground. The Smiths. Yo La Tengo. My Bloody Valentine. Devendra Banhart. Iron & Wine. Cursive.

[Eliminator]

disregard half of that list mozartv

[Zebra]

check out this band called radiohead

[YourBiggestFan]

wait. . . Radio. . Head??? the name alone is ludicrous!

Check out The Twilight Sad. I feel like they arent talked about as much as their shoegazer-tinged scottish depression rock should be.

[2muchket!]

I'm gonna get some grief but good indie music around now would be :
Arctic Monkeys
Babyshambles
Maximo Park
Hard Fi

[EightMilesHigh]

check out this band called radiohead

i've heard they are like deff cab

[Eliminator]

def leppard 4 qt

[EightMilesHigh]

def leppard more like def jam

[Zebra]

more like deftones

[EightMilesHigh]

[Jon]

Babyshambles/Libertines
Kooks
Razorlight

starting to appreciate the Arctic Monkeys a bit.
Television. The Velvet Underground. The Smiths. Yo La Tengo. My Bloody Valentine. Devendra Banhart. Iron & Wine. Cursive.
what the christ's bollocks are you talking about?

Television were art-punk.

Velvets were proto-punk.

Smiths were post-punk.

I haven't heard of any of the others, so they must be crap.

[mozartv]

i really like bands like my morning jacket, dinosaur jr, iron & wine. Also into stuff like fugazi, mars volta, at the drive-in, and against me! to name a few. also got a soft spot for early weezer.

this is the worst post ever

hey mozartv, do you have a last.fm account? its really easy to see what bands you should check out based on what you're already listening to.

You're a ****ing idiot.

Mozartv, you should check out some Elliott Smith, Deerhoof, Big Black, Shellac, The Stooges, Comets on Fire, the Descendents, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Pavement, and Rites of Spring if you haven't already. Although a few of these aren't really 'indie', based on the bands you said you liked, I'm pretty sure you'll like all or most of them.

Also, if you have a last.fm account, add me.

We should be friends.

[Jon]

I don't care whether or not you like the bands I listed, but none of the bands you lot are posting are indie =/

Apart from Frankie

[YDload]

indie isnt even a genre, but everyone here except you understands exactly what he's looking for so we're posting bands in the same vein

you already admitted you didnt like this kind of music that much, so you shouldnt worry about trying to give advice

[Boilermaker]

I still don't like you.

[Jon]

Sonic Youth weren't indie.

I fail to comprehend.

no wave =/

[YDload]

STOP POSTING

all you're doing is naming sub-sub-sub-genres of indie rock (or alternative rock) and regardless of what you think, every band named by every person in this thread (except you) is exactly what the threadstarter is looking for

[mozartv]

boilermaker, i like deerhoof, pixies, and pavement, but have only heard about rites of spring. also wanting to get into sonic youth. should i get daydream nation by sonic youth, or sister by SY?

[YDload]

Daydream Nation is where most people start (including me) and i'm thinking of getting Sister next.

so what i'm saying is, go Daydream

[Boilermaker]

Get both, they're equally awesome.. I also think you'd really enjoy Rites of Spring, it's Guy from Fugazi's old band. Really high energy catchy punk.

[mozartv]

thanks for the responses. keep them coming. everyone seems to understand what i meant by indie. sorry i wasn't specific, but im not big on genre-nazism.

[mozartv]

yeah, im looking into geting something from sonic youth, and have been interested in rites of spring. anything related to fugazi is gonna be sweet.

[Boilermaker]

Then check out the Evens also. It's Ian's new baritone guitar duo with this girl drummer (who I think is his girlfriend). I saw them a while ago, and they were awesome live. I shook Ian's hand :D I think you'd like 'em.

Hope you like our little forum, I'm sure you'll fit in quite well :)

[Zebra]

If you're looking into Sonic Youth then don't start with Daydream Nation, get Sister first.

[mozartv]

yeah, i like the evens. the girl is his girlfriend. ian is very talented at what he does.

lllol who ARE you

yeah, im looking into geting something from sonic youth, and have been interested in rites of spring. anything related to fugazi is gonna be sweet.

they're not really "RELATED" per se to fugazi, but i think you would like Drive Like Jehu

also, here's something i also think you'll enjoy greatly

it's the Colour Revolt EP by Colour Revolt.. similar to Fugazi and slightly to Against Me!

hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?3z1v5mqwqjnl change the x's

Arcade Fire
Wilco

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Manic Street Preachers
Slint

That is like a years worth of (in my opinion) great music right there.

[mozartv]

Nice list. Pretty familiar with all of those bands except for Mew, Maps and Atlases, and Slint. I'm looking into getting something from Godspeed You! Black Emperor because i've heard a lot of good things about them.

[The Jungler]

Definitely check out Slint. I imagine you'd like them a lot.

[perriwinkle]

Nice list. Pretty familiar with all of those bands except for Mew, Maps and Atlases, and Slint. I'm looking into getting something from Godspeed You! Black Emperor because i've heard a lot of good things about them.

oh man. Slint. get Spiderland immediately. what about Jesus Lizard? you would definitely like them too. also, make sure to get that colour revolt ep

[lunchforthesky]

Yeah Goat by the Jesus Lizard should be a priority.

Also Icky Metal by Archers of Loaf

and Darklands by The Jesus and Mary Chain

[margin0walker]

The Mountain Goats
Okkervil River
The Microphones

[BringHomeTheBacon]

yeah, im looking into geting something from sonic youth, and have been interested in rites of spring. anything related to fugazi is gonna be sweet.
If you like SY and Fugazi, you will love Unwound. Check them out for sure.

[Amit]

good indie music doesnt exist because if it was SO good how come it isnt POPULAR?

:smug:

[Eliminator]

hahahahahahahahaha

[Danger Bird]

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are amazing. And I didn't listen to old Modest Mouse for a long time because I don't like their new stuff and most of the time "oh they were awesome before they got all popular" is a cop-out but I heard Dramamine on the radio and it's pretty good.

[perriwinkle]

yeah there are no modest mouse albums that i don't like

[Tangy zizzle]

The Clean
anything Shayne Carter
The Dead C

[sexymuffin]

Get Hearts of Palm by Idaho and tell me it isn't an absolutely brilliant album

hint: you won't be able to


Check out The Twilight Sad. I feel like they arent talked about as much as their shoegazer-tinged scottish depression rock should be.

probably because they suck

[Zebra]

The Dead C

I second this

[YourBiggestFan]

probably because they suck

Oh **** diss. its all good though, as I dont really find Idaho to be all that spectacular. Diff'rent strokes and all that I suppose.

[sexymuffin]

yeah except the twilight sad is a shitty band and idaho isn't :/

[perriwinkle]

you are so gay

[sexymuffin]

you lost your virginity in the back of your pt cruiser and i'm gay lol

[perriwinkle]

right

[sexymuffin]

do i really need to italicize the "i'm"?

[perriwinkle]

no not really

unless you want to

[Boilermaker]

Shut up, you're fighting on a forum you fags.

[Eliminator]

FISTICUFFS

[Meatplow]

[<3<3<3]

winner retard > loser retard


But I like the Twilight Sad, and Idaho.

[margin0walker]

i like the twilight sad but i dont know about idaho my guess is it sucks

[quarantined]

some of my favourites: The Shins, Interpol, Blonde Redhead, Rilo Kiley, Art Brut

[Zebra]

i like the twilight sad but i dont know about idaho my guess is it sucks

correct

[Eliminator]

whats up with the fighting. fighting on the internet is like being in the special olmypics. even if you win, your still retarded.

haha people still say this?

[bleep_bloop]

mmhmmmmm

[mozartv]

Anyone like Dr. Dog or My Morning Jacket? I've been listening to them a lot lately.

[perriwinkle]

i like My Morning Jacket, i havent heard Dr. Dog though. are they similar?

[mozartv]

Kind of. Dr. Dog has that 60's Beatles kind of sound to them. I really like them.

[margin0walker]

Easy Beat is ok but i dont listen to it much.

[incubliss]

Stars, they just released a new album called "In Our Bedroom After the War"
The New Pornographers. actually, just listen to anything on the Arts & Crafts label, i think you'd enjoy the majority of the bands on there, especially Broken Social Scene
http://www.arts-crafts.ca/artists.php

Midlake
As Tall as Lions
Pop Levi
Patrick Wolf
The Shins

Albert Hammond Jr. he's one of the guitarists from The Strokes, has just released a solo album and it's surprisingly really good

[mozartv]

The Albert Hammond Jr. album wasn't that great. I had heard some good things about his record, so I checked it out. Kinda sucked. He's better off just playing with The Strokes.

[rocknrollstar5]

what the christ's bollocks are you talking about?

Television were art-punk.

Velvets were proto-punk.

Smiths were post-punk.

I haven't heard of any of the others, so they must be crap.

I like this guy

[Pherton Skeurton]

I like this guy

I can see why you'd get along, you're equally dumb.

And I don't know why anyone would listen to The Strokes.

[rocknrollstar5]

Stone Roses is great indie music you can dance to, and their present day counterparts Kasabian

[rocknrollstar5]

And I don't know why anyone would listen to The Strokes.

Because they're ****

[mozartv]

I can see why you'd get along, you're equally dumb.

And I don't know why anyone would listen to The Strokes.

I don't listen to the Strokes often, but if I had to choose between Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo album or the Strokes, I'm going with The Strokes. Albert's solo album failed.

[mozartv]

Stone Roses is great indie music you can dance to, and their present day counterparts Kasabian

Kasabian is way better than the Stone Roses.

[rocknrollstar5]

They are a lot more rocky yeah but i think that the Stone Roses just have better songs, dont get me wrong i do love Kasabian though

[mozartv]

I was addicted to the song "Empire" by Kasabian for quite some time.

[rocknrollstar5]

yeah they do make some toe tappers don't they. Off of that album i'd say my favouite song is The Doberman. I went to see them live and LSF was just a mass sing along for about 10 minutes after they'd finished

[mozartv]

The Doberman was a pretty good song as well.

[sexymuffin]

i like the twilight sad but i dont know about idaho my guess is it sucks

if you like the twilight sad then your taste isn't really worth anything anyways tbh

[rocknrollstar5]

They're releasing a new EP soon, haven't heard any of it yet but i hope its a good one, kasabian that is

[crystal cat]

Patrick Wolf anyone?

[EightMilesHigh]

Best indie music: Audioslave, Muse, Jack Johnson.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Jack Johnson touches me in all the right places. As does Dave Matthews.

[Matt?]

I can see why you'd get along, you're equally dumb.



when i read those posts i was hoping someone would say this

[mozartv]

Jack Johnson touches me in all the right places. As does Dave Matthews.

Banana Pancakes

[AlienEater]

Patrick Wolf anyone?

I saw him live and it was really ****ing bad

[mozartv]

Anybody else like Dr. Dog?

[Jon]

Best indie music: Audioslave, Muse, Jack Johnson.
:confused:

[margin0walker]

lol

[Catchthe22]

oh my. I know music genres can be hard to keep straight but if you are that far off you better have someone else categorize your music.

Ive just started getting to the Yeah yeah yeahs. I like.

[bleep_bloop]

its pretty apparent that he was being ironic

[xmuffincakes]

You should check out the Pixies, Modest Mouse and Neutral Milk Hotel. Especially the Pixies.

[sexymuffin]

who the **** are you and why are you jacking my ****

[EightMilesHigh]

Jack Johnson touches me in all the right places. As does Dave Matthews.

I can fix that if you hold my natty ice for a moment.
