Some people were complaining that indie rock doesn’t, well, rock enough. The truth is a lot of the stuff that comes out labeled as indie rock has a particular style that goes for a more lo-fi or a country feel, like Modest Mouse or Pavement. Still, there’re plenty of indie rock artists that come with some great rockin guitar that might appeal to more people out there. I’ve uploaded a zip file that contains some songs.



I know it’s a bit of a pain to download from rapidshare, but it’s 13 songs (80 mb). I think it’ll be pretty worth it – all of them are good songs. And thorough.

Download it

In that Secret Machines song, the drum sounds exactly like John Bonham. The rhythm and sound of it. Is that sampled or is he just copying it real well?

the rat is by far much the best on this list. have only not heard that kasabian song. worth listening to? if so up it seperately.

also, always funny listening to someone recommending a band i have listened to for over 10 years (built to spill). hey, ever heard of the velvet underground? how about the beatles?

So there's more than one way to put the "rock" back in indie. Ask DcifrThs.

Jack of Arcades,

Thanks for this.

Sincerely,
An old fart with 3 kids who doesn't have time to look for this sort of good stuff.

This mix has my 100% approval. And reminded me of a thread idea I had the other day.

Awesome stuff man, thanks. Favorites are Kasabian, Von Bondies, and Wolf Parade. Would definitely like to see more stuff like this.
