I am always looking for new bands to listen to.I like 60's music, garage rock, and most of all what most people call indie music. Some of my favorite bands are belle and sebastian, the decemberists, the kinks, the zombies, throwing muses, the smiths, bright eyes... and the list goes on. So for you the challenge is tell me a band I will fall in love with that I have not already heard. I must warn you I consider myself a bit of a music snob, so GOOD LUCK!!! Try:
The Shout Out Louds (Euro Indie Pop)
Ryan Adams (Alternative Country / Punk)
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Indie Punk)
Regina Spektor (Brit Pop)
Eels (Indie Pop)
Pigeon Detectives (Indie Pop) listen to Concrete Blonde Creature Feature
Imbroglio
Lesbian
The Sailing
Storm Lord
Pain Factor
Rob Hood
Saint Patrick Check out the band Ours. Placebo and Silversun Pickups are great too, but I'm assuming you've heard of them already. Joseph Arthur
Slint
Chavez
Black Mountain
*edit*- yes, I must agree about Concrete Blonde- what a songwriter!! GREAT, completely underrated band. Love 'em! Use to work at a venue in upstate NY...met and worked with several music acts: all these bands or solo performers are independent non-mainstream!
