YES its FINALLY here... Alex Turner and Miles Kane... The Last Shadow Puppets....the age of the understatement.

MY GOD, it's epic.. it's incredible, it's amazing, it's unique....

It's like a spaghetti western gone all indie.

GAH! I'm so excited for the album now...

These are videos from a secret gig Alex and Miles did on the 4th March (i think) in NYC...damnit i wish i was there..

[LANOZ']

thank you so much!

OH GOOODD THIS IS AMAAAAAZING

this is really really really nice

[robotomy]

I love basically every band on that list.
You should check out We Are Scientists, there another Indie Rock band.

[petit_charat]

OH i love love love We Are Scientists. Their album 'With Love and Squalor' is just absolutely brilliant. Every song on that album is AWESOME. I wish i got to see them live when they came to Oz, but it was at a bar and poo for being underage..

Their new stuff sounds interesting though.. 'After Hours' is brill, though it sounded a bit like Bloc Party at the beginning.. and the b-side to the single 'Bad behaviour' is just another classic WaS track.

Those guys are HI-larious though.. too bad their drummer left..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWs_BwizrfQ < that has got to be the funniest thing ever..

[chocopocky]

I must say,
Ben's Brother, anyone?

[dive to blue]

Man, I've only heard of but not actually heard many of these bands. I do however, listen to The Strokes, Kaiser Chiefs, and a few others.

I really enjoy indie 'cause it's got something unique to offer. I really like: Arcade Fire, Margot and the Nuclear So So's, The Decemberists, Kaiser Chiefs, The Bravery, Something for Rockets, The Strokes, Mae, Metro Station, Anberlin, The Films, Daphne Loves Derby, and Motion City Soundtrack (they're my favorite.)

[LANOZ']

woooo im going to see we are scientists=D they will play not so far from me.

the more i listen to the last shadow puppets, the more i fall in love with them. i really really really love this version of
meeting place

i've been listening to it for 2 days now. how sad i don't have a mp3 file, so i just have to open youtube the whole time hah;P

but btw, i haven't listened to we are scientists'new album yet, though i love with love and squalor

[petit_charat]

Margot and the Nuclear So & So's are amazing. love them.. their debut album is just WOW. too bad they've never come to oz to play, they would be quite popular here.

Lanoz, i can PM you the mp3 link. Standing next to me is another good songs which i have grown it love from the last shadow puppets.

OHMYGOD you're so lucky! take pictures at the WaS gig pleaseee!!
the album should eb coming out like next week or something.. quite interested to hear the rest of the album.. wonder if they've changed directions or anything, musically.

[LANOZ']

Thankyouuuus for the link!
Do you have standing next to me as a mp3file? because if you dont have, i do have^^
and do you already have the new WaS album? I just downloaded it yesterday and im in loooooove with the song 'Let's see it'. hehe
And yes, i'll definitely take a lot pictures:D

have you ever seen arctic monkeys live btw?

[LANOZ']

OMG petit_charat!
i've got these songs as mp3file

-The Chamber
-Meeting Place
-Standing Next To Me

do you already have those? if not, i'll pm the link. omggg ;d

[petit_charat]

!!! no i don't have any of those mp3 files. i love love love meeting place and standing next to me. GAH! the album is gonan be so awesome. it would be lovely if you could send them to me please.

no i haven't got the new WaS album, but i dunno if i should buy it when it comes out (to support them) or download it so i can quickly listen to it....AH such a hard decision...

and yes i've seen arctic monkeys once, last year in august for their only melbourne show. it was the best gig EVER. loved every moment of it and can not forget the feeling when they first walked on stage and launched into 'This House is a Circus'. fookin brilliant. i was so psyched before, during and after the gig. unbelieable. definitely going to see them again when they come back. best live band.

And hmm.. you can wait for the album and buy it, but then i can just upload ONE song for you right? Haha:P
That would be ok right?

And at kimchi girl, i've never listened to portishead actually though i do know them.
How do they sound like?

I love Keith so much!!! He cracks me up but I think Chris is the funniest of them all. Do you know why Michael left?

[kimchi_girl]

And at kimchi girl, i've never listened to portishead actually though i do know them.

Hi LANOZ!
They're kind of hard to describe. I would say a bit Trip Hop/atmospheric Electro-lounge with an edge. Similar to Massive Attack but stripped down. Here are some samples from youtube...

Early Releases:
Undenied
Glory Box
Only You
Sour Times

Preview:
Hunter (Live)

This a live version of the new song "Hunter" which will be released on the new album "Third" in April. Their sound has changed somewhat from earlier albums but Beth Gibbons has such a unique voice, that you still get a sense that this is Portishead.

[petit_charat]

I love Keith so much!!! He cracks me up but I think Chris is the funniest of them all. Do you know why Michael left?

umm, i don't know the exact reason why he left, but i think he just wanted a break from the band. kinda like when andy (bassist) left arctic monkeys, only they replaced him with the nick.
i dunno if they are replacing Michael in WaS, but it's only Chris and Keith on the cover of the album..so maybe they'll just stick it out without a formal drummer for the time being..
but those 3 guys together were HI-liarious.

and bugger it, i will download the album... i'm very impatient... ssshhh..

[JungxYumi]

So the topic starter lists UK bands, but I guess he/she changed it to "indie" so I will post some links to NON UK bands I recommend. (Although some may be UK bands?) Some videos are weird. I'm just sharing mainly for the music, not the video, although some might be cool.

The American Analog Set-Punk as john tesh

Animal Collective-Grass

Au Revoir Simone-Sad Song

Battles-Atlas

Beirut-Postcards from Italy

The Bird and the Bee-Again and Again

Camera Obscura-Lloyd Im ready to be heartbroken

Gregory and the Hawk-Season Poem

Iron & Wine-Flightless bird, American Mouth

Jeniverever-Swimming Eyes

Minus the Bear-Pachuca Sunrise

Mum-They made frogs smoke til they exploded

The Submarines-Peace & Hate

Vampire Weekend-M79


IF this is dedicated to only uk bands i guess you can delete my post. Im just confused on why the title would be the indie topic.

[petit_charat]

well, it turns out we ended up discussing more about UK indie bands than just UK mainstream bands... ...

OH, The Bird and the Bee! Love those guys... incredible tunes. Fcking boyfriend has got to be my fave, next to La La La.
I really like the whole jazzy/cafe sort of vibe they have

Check out Liam Finn (son of Neil Finn of Crowded Hous fame). his song 'better to be' is just divine.
He has an album out too if you're interested.

AND, Ferraby Lionheart. With a name like that, he's gotta be indie... loving his song 'small planet'.

Anyone here like The Duke Spirit?

[Alicesan]

Oh yay! there are actually muse fans on Soompi. (:
=0 i've never actually noticed this thread.

Muse & Radiohead are my absolute favourite bands EVER.
& i love the kaiser chiefs and tons more indie stuff..!
