Alternative and Indie recommendations??
 

Can someone give me some good modern alternative bands and indie bands to listen to? Throw in some grunge too if you can and list big names and obscure bands that are really good. Thanks!

placebo and sigur ros are fantastic

The National.

I just discovered the New Jersey band Real Estate. They are pretty awesome. Kind of a Surfy, Psychadelic indie rock band. The sound is pretty lo-fi, but it is not absolutely annoying like Best Coast or Wavves. Also check out the new Battles LP, Gloss Drop. The drumming is phenomenal.

Hey

What do you think of music that is in this style
