Indie Rock - Page 2

Rovetu · 11.01.2006, 06:19 PM

do you consider sy as indie?

Danny Himself · 11.01.2006, 06:43 PM

In a sense.

Thurston's "Psychic Hearts" album may be what you're looking for. Or failing that, go listen to Smashing Pumpkins or something.

Trasher02 · 11.01.2006, 06:53 PM

Sebadoh is a nice band too if you like sy.

les savy fav, xiu xiu, micah p hinson (he's a solo), the microphones, guided by voices

Rovetu · 11.01.2006, 07:11 PM

i dlded psychic hearts fron that album of thurston...very good

more music like that

Onani Nic · 11.01.2006, 09:38 PM

For me Indie Rock is defined by that book "Our Band Could Be Your Life". Rock bands on indenpendent labels. Find that book.

Bands written about in the book:

Big Black
Black Flag
Mission of Burma
The Replacements
Husker Du
Minor Threat
Fugazi
Sonic Youth
Butthole Surfers
Bad Brains
probably one or two more......

If someone asked me if I liked indie rock I would probably say "yeah, you mean bands like husker du, the replacements, meat puppets and mission of burma?"

HaydenAsche · 11.02.2006, 12:17 AM

I second:
Arab on Radar

Also:
the Swirlies
Hello Astronaut, Goodby Television

I disagree with Onani, to me Indie is just as much a genre of music as it is 'rock bands on independent labels'

there are indie bands on major label (see arcade fire) and non-indie bands on independent labels (see black flag)

most of the bands mentioned that post would be considered 80s punk/hardcore with a 'post' thrown in for good measure.

golden child · 11.02.2006, 12:58 AM

damn i suck at writing.

Norma J · 11.02.2006, 01:43 AM

I agree that the term Indie defines a genre, a sound, more so than a non-major label band.

Xiu Xiu Indie? I don't see/hear that.

It's true that indie has become more of a stylistic thing now, so your right. I'm just saying thats where the term originated from (thats the impression I got from the book anyway, i wasn't around at the time or anything).

youthoftomorrow · 11.02.2006, 02:36 AM

Big Black
Fugazi
Violent Femmes
Mission of Burma
Minutemen

They are indie in the fashion of newer bands. i.e. Deerhoof, the Unicorns, Arcade Fire, etc.

Inhuman · 11.02.2006, 02:34 PM

DISHWASHER. (listen to Again and Again )

Their album's coming out soon, ask me if you want a copy of it.

Oh, and check out Think About Life too, I know the vocalist and they just finished touring with Wolf Parade

I also agree with that

Cantankerous · 11.05.2006, 04:14 PM

you might like PJ harvey although i wouldn't exactly count her as indie. she still has the sound despite being on a major.
