My current love is Wolfgang....Try this one... Back To Back ... I'm slightly obsessed... not even kidding.

[Guest Wang Nun I]

woah, can't list all the indie artists and bands I like because it's the kind of music I mainly listen to.

can anyone recommended me recent (or rather new) good raw & dirty garage rock/punk bands?

lately i've been trying to listen to too much indie music which is way too experimental, hard to get into or plain strange and was actually supposed to be folk or psychedelic or not if you know what i'm talking about.

[Guest duckbutt']

Hmmm, can anybody suggest me some really good folky bands like Mumford and Sons?

and some up-beat electro ones tooo. I'm in the mood to dance. (:

[cassiopeia1001]

To whoever said The Killers, I just voted you up.

Well ... indie is so ambiguous these days ...

But I love Foster the People and Sleigh Bells, currently.

[orangeman]

The Killers have been under Island and Vertigo since the beginning and both of those labels are all under the control of the Big 4. Their first album was released under one independent label in the UK (out of three) but beyond that, they are part of the system. 

Indie has spawned a certain (overused) sound that I do not care for.
