Default Indie Hip Hop/Rock bands

Hey all, I am part of an indie Hip-Rock band and I am looking for some other influences in that same type of genre. Current influences are Bad Brains, Nas, Chiddy Bang, Gym Class Heroes, At the Drive In, and The Pixies.

And if you can refer any bands to me that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice find, I rarely say no to bands posting free music! I'll have to get back to you when I listen to everything, but the two songs I've listened to so far are pretty good!

One of my favorite songs from the past month is Miracle by Ghost Beach, it's really catchy and great for the summer.

And another band I'd recommend is Imagine Dragons, they recently released a new EP called Continued Silence. So, in keeping with the catchy, summer time songs, here's "On Top of the World":

I've always thought Travis sounded like Bends-era Radiohead. Are you familiar with them?

Muse's early albums sounded dangerously similar to Radiohead. I had to look at my Ipod one night and make sure I was still listening to Muse and not Radiohead.
