Indie/Underground Rock

[Alter]

Since I cant keep creating threads for endless indie/underground rock bands, I thought it would be good for this thread to be used for me to spread the word on those bands and for people to ask questions for those who do know about the current indie scene.

I will start off by saying that new Panda Bear record is a must listen for everyone.

Tokyo Police Club
Snowden
Carissa's Wierd
Stars

not sure if I'd consider them indie, but The Snake The Cross The Crown is damn good too.

 

[Vimana]

I never got too into it. All the indie I heard sounded like burnouts playing Punk.

Interpol
Spoon
Panda Bear
Animal Collective

Good place to start. Indie is very broad term and can be broken down into many sub-genres.

 

[heather_opeth]

thanks ill look into those

 

[Alter]

Start with Turn On The Bright Lights for Interpol and Feels for Animal Collective.

 

[Belligerent]

Would My Morning Jacket be indie rock? I really dig their stuff...especially the album "It Still Moves".

 

[Alter]

Yes, in the same way Darkane is metal. They dont have much credibility.

 

[Belligerent]

Ok, care to explain.

 

[Alter]

I just have been told they are nothing really that special or interesting. I will check them out and tell you what I think.

 

[Belligerent]

I believe they are Indie but deserve to be bigger than they are. I rarely hear them mentioned anywhere. Check out the song "Golden" off of It Still Moves and work from there, the whole album is good. I heard that song on XRT a few years back and bought the album immediately.

 

[Alter]

Will do.

But, you must check out The Sw!ms. Fucking excellent.

 

[Belligerent]

Cool. I will.
Are they local?

 

[heather_opeth]

Start with Turn On The Bright Lights for Interpol and Feels for Animal Collective.

Just checked out Interpol today. I like them, good easy listening music. My favorite song off Turn On The Bright Light would have to be "Obstacle 1". I listened to Animal Collective too, but I dont know about them.

 

[Alter]

Not near me, but they seem to have a ton of potential.

Yeah, "Obstacle 1" is my favorite song ever. Also, try their other two records, Antics being the better than Our Love To Admire.

Animal Collective is much more spazzy and out-there.

Oh yeah, I did check out some songs from Antics as well too. I like that stuff too.

Yeah Animal Collective is alittle different.Haha.

 

[dcowboys311]

If you like Interpol be sure to check out The National.

 

[Belligerent]

I've been into really into The Whitsundays and Vampire Weekend lately. I especially recommend Vampire Weekend if you're looking for something different...Whitsundays on the other hand, remind me a lot of 60's stuff like The Zombies, The Velvet Underground, & the Kinks. But yeah, both bands are new and have self-titled albums.
