I Need New Music!!

[pixiejedi]

I'm a "Independent" music person generally. I would recommend Death Cab for Cutie, Iron & Wine, Radiohead and for some variety check out Nine Inch Nails, Trapt and Breaking Benjamin for some heavier modern Rock.

 

[Jaime_Wolf]

A lot of great bands have been mentioned.

For some newer, less-known indie (-cough-hipter-cough-) music you should take a look at Geographer and, for some awesome new FREE music, google Commissioner Jams Gordon - it's named after the author/artist of Dr. McNinja's dog and has probably the cutest website I've ever seen.

Also I don't think anyone's mentioned Girls, which is a great band with a sound similar to a modern Beach Boys.

 

[The_Echo]

I'll just give you every artist/band I listen to. I'll also hyperlink one of their songs, their genres and what language they use. (If language isn't labelled, it's English.) Genres in quotations are either what the band identifies themselves as, or what best describes them. Some of these bands will be obscure or independent. Most of them can be found on iTunes, but for those that aren't there, I will provide links to their appropriate MySpace of Facebook pages.

I left out some of the bands for time. They were the really obscure ones, but you can generally find them through bands that are on this list. You'd better appreciate me for this.

 

[EcHoFiiVe]

Just a few individual songs I really like.

[WeOwnTheSky]

Hm.
Flobots, Psapp, Lights, Snow Patrol, The Weepies, A Fine Frenzy are currently some of my favorites. : )

 

[Hazy]

If you're into something more Electronic (it's a mash-up of genres, really) I can't recommend Clazziquai Project enough.

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

This is probably my favorite music video of all time and one of my favorite songs. Highly recommended if you like heavier music with strong pop sensibility.

 

[smithy_2045]

Silversun Pickups. Absolutely awesome band, even better live.
