Guest Rikku22 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Mae THE HUSH SOUND!!! Paramore Surefire High (a local band here in michigan) a whole lot more but i don't know if people consider them "indie" enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VersusVillain Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 death cab for cutie is still signed with barsuk record company, and barsuk is not a major label company, so theyre still considered indie. And Miramax isn't a very large distribution company, but would you consider Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill Vol. 1 "indie" films? When a band is originally "indie", and then gains mass popularity, the way Death Cab for Cutie has, their independent credibility is obviously questioned, no matter what label they're signed to.

Guest jcraze Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If they start off indie and they havent changed their sounds, whether they get popular or not is of no consequence to their "indie" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Requiem Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I really don't think a band shown almost every half hour on MTV should be considered "indie". What band are you talking about? death cab for cutie is still signed with barsuk record company, and barsuk is not a major label company, so theyre still considered indie. No, they've signed with Atlantic Records now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their sound doesn't matter. When independent/obscure bands gain popularity, they're no longer obscure and they're hardly indie. Why? Because they're popular amongst the mainstream audience, and mainstream music in general. What band are you talking about? I was talking about Death Cab for Cutie.

Why? Because they're popular amongst the mainstream audience, and mainstream music in general. I was talking about Death Cab for Cutie. I see it on the contrary, since when someone asks for a certain 'genre' of music they're looking for a specific sound. If a band, whether it has gained mainstream popularity or not has not changed their sounds but rather the mainstream audience has followed their trend then i still feel their music is indie to me. But i suppose to class indie as a genre is using the term loosely, since indie music encompasses so many different styles of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petit_charat Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The Kooks...i've heard of them but never actually listened to any of their songs. they're a pretty 'talked-about' band over in the UK. any song recommendations?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sarah is sleepy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 ^ You'll definitely like them if you're an Arctic Monkeys fan. Try "Ooh La" first, it'll get you hooked. Also, "California," "Sofa Song," "She Moves In Her Own Way," and "Eddie's Gun." Ahahahah, I saw Metric on the featured music on Myspace. that's because they are amazing. :] I looove "The Police and the Private," and "Too Little Too Late."

Guest pprMNTE Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Styrofoam is my favorite at the moment. The "Nothing's Lost" CD, especially. Got me hooked to listening to Andrew Kenny's voice. :X It's so soothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
