...these guys (and 1 girl - i mean they ARE indie bands after all) make me hate indie music even more, even when i know there has to be some good stuff out there. they've turned me off folky acoustic music forever...

There's a few worth paying attention to, most are just marketable acts that the indie press can hype without fearing retribution for being creative or somewhat unusual.
Folk rock is awesome when done right, but it does seem like a lot of current bands are using the same obligatory formula, no matter the situation.
