Any good indie music?

[Blue Musician]

Title says it all...

I'm tired of the generic music that fills anywhere. I for that I mean music from people/bands/genres that, well feel generic (Linking Park, Skillet, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc). So I've done with them. I wonder if you knew any indie band which not so many people know about it.
I only know one, which is ZXYZXY. They actually make some good songs if you can tolerate a Marylin Manson inspired instrumental song.

Anyway, which are you recommendations?

 

[Angry Caterpillar]

Not sure how popular they may be, but I loves me some Coheed and Cambria.

EDIT: Oh, forgot Jonathon Coulton. He's awesome. He wrote Still Alive, you know. Once again, not sure how well known he may be.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Voltaire my friend..just listen to a couple songs from him and you will fall in love. I recommend Death Death Song, When you're Evil, Brains, Coin Operated Goi and Bomb New Jersey

 

[Acier]

Murder By Death.

Proof that Country doesn't automatically suck.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Brokencyde, also Vampire weekend i strongly recommend.
Reverand and the makers, Kids in glass houses, Motion City Soundtrack (just got home from seeing them in concert. Truely amazing.), Cancer bats, Say Anything and the Mystery Jets.
To name a few of the bands i'm listening to at the minute.

Brokencyde, also Vampire weekend i strongly recommend.

Agree with Vampire Weekend.

Also try out The View, Silversun Pickups, The Shins and Arcade Fire

 

[UnityRiot]

Cursive, The National, Tegan and Sara, etc. etc.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

Franz Ferdinad, Muse, Avenged Sevenfold(They aren't that famous yet?), Three Days Grace, Cage the Elephant

 

[The AI]

Interpol, The Fratellis, Muse, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Silversun Pickups, and (even though they're all old) Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, and Joy Division.

Also, avoid brokeNYCDE if you don't like screamo crossbred with rap.

 

[berault]

Bands like "Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin" and "Vampire Weekend" I highly suggest.

 

[The Rascal King]

If you gots da Itunes or Zune Pass, check out Ben Kweller's "Harriet's got a song"

I like that song. And I can't find it anywhere else. Not even youtube

 

[UnkeptBiscuit]

I have a few.

Spoiler: The Decemberists-The Legionnaire's Lament

Spoiler: Silversun Pickups-Lazy Eye

Spoiler: Modest Mouse

Spoiler: Float On

Spoiler: Dashboard

Depeche Mode, .

I was just listening to their Music for the Masses album But they're hardly indie.

OT; Arcade Fire (I recommend Funeral)
Supergrass (Get everything they've ever done. They're amazing)
BMX Bandits (get Life Goes On)
Teenage Fanclub (Grand Prix is their best)
Sloan (once again, get everything of theirs.)

I'll edit more in as I think of them

 

[Aerodynamic]

Depeche Mode, .

Arcade Fire (I recommend Funeral)


I'll edit more in as I think of them

Someone else who knows of Arcade Fire? You sir have just won my respect!

You know of any of the bands I just mentioned? You earn +10 respect

 

[Ophiuchus]

If you gots da Itunes or Zune Pass, check out Ben Kweller's "Harriet's got a song"

I like that song. And I can't find it anywhere else. Not even youtube

Since you've got me thinking of it, that'll be my recommendation: Ben Kweller's debut solo album, it's called 'Sha Sha' and it's all sorts of excellent. You can hear 10 out of the 12 tracks on last.fm (including the one that the guy quoted couldn't find ) - my favourites are 'Make It Up' and 'Wasted & Ready', if you're looking for specific recommendations.

EDIT: it'd probably be useful if I remembered to put in the last.fm link...

Arcade Fire are a multiple award winning, Platinum selling, high-charting band... and you're surprised when someone else has heard of them?

They are rarely discussed here, plus if anyone ever mentions music I listen to I tend to get excited.
