Know any good indie rock/pop bands?
OP - August 07, 2011, 07:20 PM

This is a massive forum and there must be some people here who listen to indie rock/pop. I only started to get into the genre and I need more bands to listen to. I for now got Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys and Belle and Sebastian.

Yes The Strokes are very good too but they are kind of indie but more alternative.

Tegan and Sara~
I'll post some of their acoustic stuff here, because that's what made me fall in love with them.

Tame Impala, Morningwood, The Morning Benders, The Dodos, Motion City Soundtrack, Wavves, Stars, Radical Face, Say Anything.

I'll think of some more once I can access my full music library.

Indie pop? Hmm I suggest these bands. Some are more indie than pop, but whatever.

^Haha you're welcome. I love their first two albums, but the last album they released; I couldn't bring myself to even like it.

Olweasel, thumbs up on minus the bear!

I have to ask something, though. Is anyone here a fan of ska?
