I want some new music so this is coming back!
Indie kids unite! happy.gif

So, one of the more mainstream indie bands I'm completely into right now is Sleater-Kinney. I'm sure the rest of you share my love. But yea, I'm reaaaaallllllyyyyy into them. Sure, I have been for a while, but I can't get enough of them. They're always great. Agent Sparks, another one I'm getting into is similar to Sleater-Kinney.

Tilly and the Wall is great, too. I'm really happy to see more chick bands breaking out in the indie music scene. Gives me some inspiration.

The Cardigans have a bit of a retro feel to them. It's refreshing. Another chick, too! cool.gif

The Clientele is really calm and easy. Nice for relaxing. They've been getting a lot of attention lately.

Vitalic is just plain neat. Lots of electric sounds. Pretty obscure, way out from the mainstream music scene. If you've seen Lola Rennt, it's kind of similar to the music in that movie (which is also pretty cool).

I've also been getting into Wolf Parade. A mix between traditional rock sounds and electronic ones. Kind of New Wave-y. Good stuff.

Got any new and upcoming bands/singers that you want to share with the indie population of Createblog, or any to discuss?

Aw man, I love Mates of State! They're playing in Chicago soon, but of course, like any show that I reaaaaallllyyyy want to go to (like the Ted Leo one coming up), it's 18+. hammer.gif

I'm probably going to see Jenny Lewis and Metric soon, though. _smile.gif
