I don't see how someting as HUGE as snopatrol could be called indie in anyway. It's stadium rock!

what is indie these days though?

Bloc Party?
Helicopter

!Forward Russia!
First track on the first album.

You guys wouldn't know Indie if it hit you in the face. It means INDEPENDANT, as in Record Deal terms.

For example, REAL indie bands:

The Velvet Teen

CocoRosie

etc

If your gonna put yourself over as a know it all bastard, make sure you actually know what your talking about.

Although Indie originaly meant independent, that long, long since ceased to be the case. Also, Indie rock has a failry different history in the UK than it does in the US, meaing what the Yankees call "indie" doesn;t always chime with what the Limey's call "indie".

Finally. No such word as INDEPENDANT. You plank. It's independent.

It's brilliant.
Unless It Kicks is so much fun.
I've been listening to this album for the past month, and i tell anyone who'll listen that this album is gonna make them huge.
So huge, that i'm starting to get scared of how will their next album sound.
Pitchfork already gave it a high score.. so my vision is coming true..
I just hope that it won't get to their heads and that they'll keep doing good music, not for the mass.

ammy · 08-09-2007, 08:11 PM

After listening to it lots it think it's not nearly as good as black sheep, maybe it will grow on me.
are you going to any of thier UK tour?, they are so good live!!!

No. I wish i could afford it..
