Top 10 indie bands at the moment?

In no particular order: 1. Headlights 2. Timber Timbre 3. The Apples in Stereo 4. The Magnetic Fields 5. Casiokids 6. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart 7. Sparklehorse 8. Plushgun 9. Dan Mangan 10. Michael Zapruder’s Rain of Frogs

I’m not always positive where the lines blur to define “Indy” anymore.

I just like what I like whatever it is… Labels schmables.

@GabrielsLamb You know, like bands on independent labels? Not on a major label? Get the picture?

@dreamwolf If I took the time to sit and look up what labels every band I liked was on, and it actually mattered, I wouldn’t do anything else. And if it made a difference, I wouldn’t listen to some great stuff.

Does the label matter if the song is good…

*I know what indy bands are silly goose, I’m not that old.

I just assume that most of the shit I listen to is indie because they don’t have a lot of youtube views and they often have really jangly guitars. Seems legit to me.

*This is an aussie band… I have no idea what label they’re on???

But the song is damn EPIC!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I love your taste in music!!!

@GabrielsLamb thank you!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Honestly, from some of the stuff you have posted, I feel like I should thank you… POINTS! *That’s all I got… Sorry.

@GabrielsLamb Well ” If I took the time to sit and look up what labels every band I liked was on, and it actually mattered, I wouldn’t do anything else” what you said right there, is what I actually do haha. I don’t remember the last time a radio song entertained me. Matter of fact I only listen to AM for my sports.

I second Washed Out! Um, latest obsession: the soundtrack from Drive. Braids, Sleigh Bells, Gold Panda, Yacht, Dum Dum Girls, Discovery, Klaxons… hmm some is more electronic than indie.
