Re: Official Indie Starter Kit Thread (Calling all hipsters... sorry e
Holy Mary mother and [censored] Joseph!!!!
Do half of you even [censored] know what Indie music is? You're all listing bands like Radiohead for Christ's sake.
Here's a tip. Death Cab For Cutie put Plans out on...get ready for it...Atlantic.
Name a [censored] band that's on a goddamned independent label. The biggest label you can name here is going to be Matador. Under that label I'd advise looking at (of course) anything by Pavement. I think Soul Coughing did some early stuff under an independent label. Skinny Puppy under Nettwerk (I'm not an industrial fan, myself). Oh...and my girlfriend strongly suggest I mention VNV Nation's Empires put out under Metropolis.

Indie does not equal button up shirt, tight jeans wearing, short spikey hair rock despite what your hipster friends told you!!!
