Big Black
Rapeman
Shellac
Scratch Acid

And some other stuff. I can't think of too much right now.

(by the way, Urban, I love the song in your sig. He actually thought he was gonna get commercial success with that one... strange dude.)

Yeah I only found out the other day that when he submitted it to columbia records they told him to f*ck off and it didn`t get released for 20 years :laughing:

Wow, Steve Albini++ right there.

There seems to be an Austrailian indie section missing in the main post , which isn`t right given the Nick Cave groupie I am.....

The Saints , Radio Birdman , The Birthday Party , The Go Betweens , The Divinyls , The Sleepy Jackson and i`m sure there`s a couple of grunge bands that could be added .... but I wouldn`t know about these things.

plus, newer bands such as the vines, morning after girls, wolf mother (at the moment, though they are zeppelin rip offs) and the howling bells that are contributing heavily to the "nu-indie" scene.

thanks for that you guys do no alot about indie

yer right - we should add an aussie list of bands... dunno about The Divinyls though!! heh

A few that I would want in aussie would also be - Sodastream and Midnight Oil and (dare I say) Jet (i hate 'em, but not the point...)

I am just dissapointed that you left out Georgias Indie music scene.
Elephant 6 is now based out of Athens Georgia, spawning Neutral Milk Hotel.
We have REM, not really indie anymore but, you know.....
We have Danger Mouse, Japancakes.

I could continue....

the indie music scene is pretty boring now

:laughing:
