Good indie rock bands?

^ topic, I'm looking for some good bands to put on my ipod. What would some recommend? I already have some Kaiser Chiefs, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Silver Sun Pick ups, Mat & Kim, mewithoutYou, Circa Survive, Cold War Kids, Peter, Bloc Party, Interpol, White Noise, Moneen, Tegan & Sara, Peter Bjorn and John, Phoenix. Thanks in advance.

Fleet Foxes

Too many to name. Just go with Arctic Monkeys and Kooks for now.

Among my favorites are Manchester Orchestra, fun., and The Format.

Also, Derek Webb is brilliant, if you don't mind the fact that some of his songs have to do with Christ. He's one of the most introspective artists out there.

Oh, yeah, also, Paper Route. They rock.

And....though they're not indie, Muse is pretty much the best thing ever.

Weezer (YES WEEZER!!), Modest Mouse, Keane, The Shins, The Bravery, The Vines, Artic Monkeys, The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Beck, Postal Service, Deathcab for Cutie, umm, I'm spent ...

Interpol. Turn on the Bright Lights is easily one of the best albums of the last decade.

Jack butler

Pigeon Detectives, The Wombats, Fratellis.

If you don't download them your' officialy dead to me.

Oh and The Kooks.

Also why won't my edit button work?

If I told you they wouldn't be indie anymore.

Bright Eyes and probably The Faint are some I didnt see mentioned

The Libertines, Babyshambles, Future of the Left, Lightspeed Champion, Titus Andronicus, The Thermals, Sunset Rubdown, The Cribs, Man Man, Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, The Horrors (new album is good), Johnny Foreigner, Arctic Monkeys, Vincent Vincent and the Villains, Flaming Lips, Graham Coxon, Ghost Frequency, Crystal Antlers, Clinic, Belle & Sebastian..

check out Britpop too, sort of spawned it all really.. Blur, Suede, Pulp, Oasis (Definately Maybe/Whats the Story only..) Weller, Chemical Brothers, Elastica, Stone Roses, Sleeper.. etc

Pixes.

LIES!

Indie is said largely to have started with underground bands like the Velvet Underground in the Us, continuing with bands like Sonic Youth and others that I named, and in Britain with the Smiths and The Jesus and the Mary Chain among others. Britpop was heavily influenced by these, but didn't come first.

Sorry, you've awaken the indie-purist in me :P Great bands listed though!

Pavement, The Fall, Sleater-Kinney, The Replacements, Sonic Youth. For more modern try Japandroids, No Age, and Wavves. Yes I did just unload a whole ton of noise-rock(ish) bands.majoras_wrath

Good ol' majoras_wrath takes the words right out of my mouth once again. I second all that, without exception.

As for my own contribution, I'll keep it simple with only one band that has been irresistible to anyone with a passive interest in indie-rock/pop.

Los Campesinos!

Insanely catchy, full of wit and geekitude, relatable lyrics... In a word, twee as ****. You gotta love them. Check out We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed.

EDIT: What the hell was I thinking, THE SMITHS! Buy Meat is Murder, just... just do it man, in a heartbeat. That's all I have to say.

The only indie band I listen to is Modest Mouse.

Here's one of their songs.

Muuussseeeee. New album coming out September :D

You are perfectly correct!

I worded it wrong to be honest, Indie is a huge collaboration of everything from Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, to Bands such as The Small Faces, The Yardbirds, Beatles.. What I meant was Britpop was probably the most recent influence of British Indie.. not counting the more grunge 90's american approach such as Sonic Youth (awesome) Pavement, Pixies (to a certain extent), Weezer.. etc

We Are Scientists

was one of my favorites for a while. they're a lot like the killers, though, so not that indie.

There ya go :P

I had a feeling you knew, I mean, anyone with such mint taste in indie must know. :D

I merely had to educate the heathens.

MegandDia128

People mentioning Muse, The Killers, et cetera...those aren't truly indie bands. They have major radio air play and major label contracts.

The words 'good' and 'indie rock' should NEVER be used in the same sentence. Go listen to your Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Modest Mouse or whatever crap you guys listen too...:roll:
