Bands that work for independent labels?

Its not as much of a genre as it is a term for non mainstream bands, its basicly todays alternative rock, and like alternative rock bands in the 80s and 90s, most indie bands have little in common. Im very disapointed in todays independent scene, at least most american and canadian indie bands, its a lot better in europe though, post rock has taken a life of its own, and so far a lot of damn good bands have come out of it. Post rock in my opinion is basicly a style of modern progressive rock. The modern prog scene is the "true" indie rock scene if you ask me.

The best Post-Rock bands are from Canada. And the US has a lot of great indie bands, but I guess you wouldn't think that if all you like is Post-Rock.

When Modest Mouse is considered to be the best american indie band, we have a problem.
