Indie/Underground

[Pachinko]

So, how do you feel about some indie/underground musicians?

I, personally, have been interested in Regina Spektor lately. Her stuff is getting more spotlight nowadays, but I find her charm and lyrics still true-to-life. The Ditty Bops are entertaining and I really wanted to see a show of theirs. As for others, The Sounds continue to impress.

I am so totally in love with The Sounds. Their last album, Dying to Say This to You, is so much better than their first one was. Tony the Beat and Song With A Mission are probably my favorite tracks off it. And I mean, who can hate an album that has a braless chick wearing a see through shirt on the cover? :D (http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/8427/b000e6gc6q01sclzzzzzzzii8.jpg)

Sorry, other than The Sounds I haven't heard of any of the other artists you mentioned. :(

Bloc Party makes some pretty damn awesome music, as does Matthew Good. Beyond them, I don't know of too many other "indie" groups.

Click the WMSE link in my signature. All the Indie/Underground/No one's heard of this you could ever hope for.

I'm an unabashed indie kid (not to be confused with the emo kid, a similar but more odious creature). A quick list of what my playlist contains:

Regina Spektor
The Dears
Frou Frou
Patrick Wolf
Raveonettes
Rilo Kiley (not technically indie anymore, but they haven't put out anything new under Warner Brothers, plus I much prefer their pre-More Adventurous stuff)
The Postal Service
The Shins (easily one of my favorite bands ever)

Oh snap! I didn't think The Postal Service was indie. >_< I am so totally in love with that band. ;_; I wonder if anything else I listen to is indie...

THE ARCADE FIRE = <3 <3 <3

[Pachinko]

Hmm, does anyone know of any other artists similar to Regina Spektor?

I've just gotten even more obsessed. Need more. =3

[LakiDash]

Well it just so happens that The Arcade Fire and TV on the Radio are some of my favorite bands as of now.

Not to mention, I just attened The Decemberists show in Pontiac yesterday.

So I dig all sorts of Indie. But some of my top bands of all time are indie's pioneers, namely The Smiths, Pixies, and The Velvet Underground.

[Pachinko]

I forgot to mention two other groups I like:

Morningwood- I really love them, especially live. Chantel has amazing charisma, it's orgasmic. I also got into Asobi Seksu a good while back. Their chilled sound was relaxing, so it totally stuck.
