The Indie & Alternative Recommendation Thread

Only two are managed by moderators. All the others are not. Anyone can start one. You would only need help with poll editing, if you choose to have it or to edit it.

Eh, wouldn't you know that the only two I am in are those. Alright, then. I'll start one up.

Hey guys.

I need some suggestions for some alternative/indie bands that are loud, noisy, spastic, or crazy. Some groups that make you want to physically start freaking out, or at least have some songs that do.

I'm really not into a lot of alternative, but I'm trying to get into it. I really, REALLY like The Black Keys and Cage The Elephant. Aside from that, I listen to a ton of different genres, so bands that mix genres are awesome. Thanks for the help.

Bands like Cows, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Brainiac, Boss Hog, godheadSilo, Jawbox and Butthole Surfers may appeal?

Perhaps ''the Go! team''?

Of that whole list I was only really very enthusiastic about Boss Hog. They were pretty awesome.

I also found Rocket From The Crypt on accident as a similar artist to... somebody. Anyway, they were freakin' awesome, so thanks for suggesting them cause I found a band I DO really like, even if it wasn't on your list. Hahahahaha.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Im really into indie bands but lately have had a hard time coming by any new ones. I know indie can range into a wide variety of genre's but im more into indie folk/pop. Keep it on the lighter side of things.

[debaserr]

here's some good indie pop:

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend


The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?


Pinback - Summer In Abaddon


Beck - Odelay


Built To Spill - Keep It Like A Secret


MGMT - Congratulations


Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island (not so light, but it's worth hearing)


Pixies - Doolittle


R.E.M. - Murmur


TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain


Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary

They didnt release much, check out Islands, the album Arm's Way in particular is pretty decent.
