Try Rachel McGoye. She's this really amazing female indie artist who can rock the acoustic guitar and the piano. I really like her song "Try, Try."

Don't mind if I join in. ..I like this thread. I now have new bands to check out.

Can anyone recommend which bands/albums I should particularly give a listen to? For someone who's into Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, The Postal Service, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Rilo Kiley, Iron and Wine, Spoon..

I would really appreciate your suggestions.

"Indie" is such a broad term, and I'd like to say, "sorry, Indie isn't a genre.." as well as a big, "Fuck you, Pitchfork media"

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

audiocatharsis · 03-15-2008, 07:17 PM

umm try Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, M.I.A., Bright Eyes etc
My current fav at the moment is the National

Everyone should check out My Brightest Diamond. Best female vocals I've heard in a while.

Scientific Lifestyle is the hottest Indie-Punk experiment to come out of the lab since Radiohead!

Sorry, i am into UK bands only...

It's really hard to be a fan of Indie music and only look into UK bands (no offense) but yea..Radiohead is amazing. A band that isn't as big but you might want to check out is Delays. They have a free download on their site if you wanna have a listen.

wild2 · 04-07-2008, 01:32 PM

Definitely look into Modest Mouse...they need more fans in the UK!
