Dressy Bessy, Imagine Dragons, Simple Kid, Brad Sucks
Imagine Dragons I just found a few weeks ago... they're pretty amazing.0 -
OH!! Also, check out Atlas Genius. AMAZING! Their debut album drops June 12th I believe....0

Love this thread. So many good bands mentioned. I am a big fan of XM radio's XMU and the Loft stations. XMU is strictly Indie, the Loft plays everything. Current favorites there include Beach House, Beruit, 7 Horse and City and Colour.
Also LOVE Jenny Lewis (and Rilo Kiley),Fleetfoxes, and My Morning Jacket.0 -
Their debut album "drops" June 12th I believe....
so hip:laugh:0 -
I love Indie Music and most music in general. Right now my fav is Alabama Shakes, they're really starting to take off and they're fantastic! I also like The Givers, Local Natives, Jenny Lewis, The Elected, Matt Costa, Mike Doughty, The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, Swell Season, Mates of State, Pierre de Reeder (he was part of Rilo Kiley before they all decided to do their own things), Yo La Tengo, The Magnetic Fields, Pink Martini, etc. Also, not necessarily Indie but I loooooooove love love love Cowboy Mouth (band from New Orleans).0

I love me some indie jams :smokin:
But lately I haven't been up on discovering new bands! Been just listening to mainstream on the radio....:/
There are some good bands gettin popular right now (The Black Keys, Young the Giant, Neon Trees, Mumford & Sons, Deathcab) so I'm not bashing the radio, but I hear the same freakin' songs every day!!
Will keep tabs on this thread for new bands to look into...
P.s. anyone heard of Built to Spill? one of my all-time favorites!
Built to Spill has some pretty strong lyrics! Also, YTG is horrible live.... well, they toured with Grouplove and they have totally different energies..... grouplove played and got the crowd all amped and then here comes YTG (who plays pretty relaxed music).... most people left halfway through their set. They didn't even play any of their hits! It was sad.
I agree. I saw YTG last summer, and I couldn't have been more bored. It was at a large music showcase, so I left to check out other bands.0 -
Great thread. I am always looking for music to check out. I'm listening to Young the Giant, One eskimO, Pilot Speed, not sure if you consider these "indie" but if you can suggest some more to check out I'd appreciate it, .... I'll check out some of the ones already mentioned....0

Have you checked out Jenny and Johnny (half Jenny Lewis, half Jonathan Rice)? REALLY GOOD STUFF.0 -
You might try Mason Jennings or The Pines.0

Battles are also great, the drummer is incredible. I like to listen to them when running.0

I'm going to look into them! I listen to Sleigh Bells when working out!0 -
I LOVE REGINA SPEKTOR! My fav song by her is UsHi. I don't know if this lady falls into "Indie" but she was highly recommended by a music friend of mine who listens to many different styles out there. I do too I guess, and that's why I'll pass on Regina Spektor to you. If you're already relaxed and want to hear some music to chill out more with give her a try. She's a pianist, singer from New York's East Village. I listened to her stuff last night and it was perfect timing. (long day) Enjoy!
also I love Feist I discovered her back in HS loved her every since!0 -

I actually really like The Pines! I'm going to look into Mason Jennings!0 -
Blitzen Trapper
Love Blitzen Trapper!
Also First Aid Kit. Bought their Ep the day it came on iTunes, now they are getting pretty big. I hate when that happens. Hopefully they don't end up like the Black Keys. Great albums when they first came out, now they are selling out to please the "pop" crowd.0 -

Built to Spill, Broken Social Scene, The National, Tokyo Police Club, Ra Ra Riot, Bon Iver, M83, Lykke Li, Wilco, The Decemberists... the list goes on and on.0

Lately I am really in to:
Blind Pilot
Lumineers
Givers
Of Monsters and Men
Grouplove
Cold War Kids
of course The Black Keys
Neon Trees
Old favorites are:
Built to Spill (all time favorite. period.)
The Shins
Neko Case
Bon Iver
Spoon
Pinback
Josh Ritter
I could go on and on. I've also been getting in to a bit of newer reggae. Just saw Tribal Seeds and they were FANTASTIC and seeing Rebelution this summer too.0 -

AGREED! The Black Keys have left a bad taste in my mouth, though I loved them before they because "cool".0 -

Anytime I see grouplove, I get excited!!! I even have a lyric from one of their songs tattooed on me. I will be seeing them for the 3rd time on June 11th. AMAZING ENERGY!0 -

Thanks all for sharing
I have been big into the music festival/electronic scene but I'm getting a bit tired of that so I am starting to explore indie bands more, so I appreciate everyones suggestions. I have a friend named Carlos who used to share his indie stuff with me, but he moved to AZ.
Gogol Bordello (weird gypsy? music) and Big Gigantic are bands I like a lot having seen at festivals this summer. 0 -
LOVE indie music! I'm a frequent listener of the Jogtunes indie Podcasts, great music, great prompts and bpm. 0
