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?

Panic! at the Disco disappointed me. Most people said that Fall Out Boy fans would enjoy them (I personally like Fall Out Boy), but I didn't really care for them.

And how does seeing an indie band in a teen magazine lower anyone's opinion of them?
*

I saw them in the magazine before I listened to them. Because the teen magazines pretty consistantly focus on pretty crap music, I didn't expect much from them. Thus, they were better than I expected, but still not my thing.

Panic! At the Disco was better than I expected, actually. I dion't think they're great, but I can't stand Fall OUt Boy or most anyone they're compared to, so that was actually better for me.

^I have to admit, that one Panic! at the disco song, "lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off" is the catchiest thing I have heard in a loooong time.

Anyone in to Black Rebel Motocycle Club?

Give The Blood Brothers some love. And what about We Are Scientists?
Scratch that, We Are Scientists is signed to Virgin.

Mmm, well, We Are Scientists are delightful nonetheless. And they've been popular amoung the indie crowd since, well, they were still indie.
The Blood Brothers have their moments. They're good, but Only so much at a time.
The Decemberists recently signed to Atlantic(? ...some mainstream label) recently too.

Despite all the hype, I really cannot stand Sleater-Kinney. Maybe I haven't given them enough of a chance, but I've tried several chance, and it still seems like there's something I'm missing because their music just doesn't do it for me.

Aww Nicki, I looove Sleater-Kinney. I used to be obsessed with All Hands On The Bad One and The Hot Rock, they also put on a killer show. I don't know how I feel about about their last two releases, One Beat and The Woods. One Beat has some good, catchy songs, but nothing as good as their previous albums. Meh.

I gave The Hot Rocks a listen, and I must say, I quite like them.
Has anyone heard the Bloc Party song, "Two More Years"?

I used to have the whole Bloc Party album, but it mostly sounds the same, and I'm really not that fond of that as it is, so I now have only 2 songs from it left on it on my iPod. That isn't one of them.

Ah. They'd be better if all their songs didn't sound exactly the same, I suppose

i just finished listening to múm's "finally we are no one" and do make say think's (another one of the broken social scene bands) "& yet & yet," and i'd reccommend both if you're into ambient instrumental music.

Oooh, I knew a couple of them were related, but I didn't know there was enough of them to actually be...something. (Sorry, I'm really unarticulate today. I just told my sister that her movie was "uhhh cause ughhh")
