I dun quite fancy Indie bands because most Indie bands became pop sellouts after being "discovered" since being "discovered" was a reason most bands were indie at first
Good example - Plain White Tees (i listened to them way before they released Hey There Delilah)
now i'm hoping my favourite indie bands won't turn that way...take a listen to them..
Downtown Singapore (formed by a friend of mine before he moved to the US)
Arcade Fire
Modest Mouse
The Kooks
Hard-Fi!
the boring thing is..they have this "generic" sound, some carry those fake Brit accents
arcade fire has gone mainstream a while back. they were a lot better a couple of years ago....
look what happened to The Cab.
tsk.
