Definately listen to Sub Pop records, they were Nirvana's old label. They also have some great bands now, too.

Are they Indie??

IamAlejo · 01-20-2004, 02:59 PM

Hmmm....I think I have heard about them before but I can't think of any bands on that label now. Got any bands or a website? I'll have to check it out I guess.

The Shins are the first band that come to mind on that label
