Give me some good indie bands.

<p>switchfoot is indie?? I always considered Switchfoot "pop." Pop for the faithful masses.</p>

<p>Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Velvet Underground (the beginning of it all), Sonic Youth.</p>

<p>Go to the hipsterhandbook website and look under music--it gives quite a few good links to stuff including metacritic.</p>

<p>"Gold Lion" the song was awesome!</p>

<p>It still is awesome. :D</p>

<p>Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
Destroyer
Menomena
Os Mutantes
Yo La Tengo</p>

<p>JACK JOHNSON. He's a singer, but he's still good.
Dave Matthews Band.
Matchbox 20.
Guster.
The Shins.</p>

<p>Those aren't indie. They're signed to major labels.</p>

<p>^Yeah, I was about to say. And the only good band there would be The Shins. The rest just.... suck.</p>

<p>What genre would you call those bands?</p>

<p>Seriously. Indie isn't a genre.</p>

<p>"My Morning Jacket!!!! <--they were mentioned on CC somehwere the other day."</p>

<p>That would be by me!!!</p>

<p>"The rest just.... suck."</p>

<p>Finally, someone else who shares my hatred for Jack Johnson. Ughh.</p>

<p>Indie bands are signed to INDEPENDENT labels. Indie isn't a genre... although I guess it could be argued that indie rock/indie pop are...</p>

<p>Indie bands/singers/rappers can belong to any genre. In fact, NSYNC was once technically indie =)</p>

<p>How about copeland...are they indie?</p>

<p>Yes. You can tell by the label =)</p>

<p>I'll echo Of Montreal.</p>

<p>mmm right now, i'm into:</p>

<p>Cold War Kids
Snowden
Beirut
Menomena
Tokyo Police Club
Page France
Matt & Kim
