how do i find out good indi bands?
 

i'm new to the music, and really like so far of what i've heard. but i don't own a tv, and the stuff i hear on the radio is a bunch regurgitated b.s.

is there a quicker way to find out good bands?

Yeah, use this website.

travel.. i suppose. thething.com has an indie listing. good up and comers usually. doesn't elaborate on the experienced bands.

Epitonic is -awesome- for finding new bands, sign up for an account and use the radio thingy, it gives you a mix of bands from the genre you selected.

the quickes way is to tell us what bands you enjoy and we'll throws a bunch of bands your way....

hating the radio crap is the first step to becoming an indie fan :P

id recommend Last.FM... generally, if you search for a good band they give you more good bands. lots of indie groups/forums on there too.

Epitonic again is also very good. and so are we :D

my boyfriend finds all good music.. so he is normaly the one to go to..

a clever way to show off the fact that you have a boyfriend...just kidding.

yojimbo, start with Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, or Neutral Milk Hotel. Also check out these record labels: Arts & Crafts, Saddle Creek, Elephant 6.
Eventually you'll be finding more bands than you can handle, just remember just because its indie rock doesn't mean its good. you'll probably run into a lot of crap before you find some of the more obscure great ones.
