    wouldnt really call any of them particulaarly new bands, even though they are all very good...

    my favourite at the moment would be annuals or eddy current suppression ring

    Burden Brothers :D If you were a Toadies fan... check these guys out (hint, hint) :D They kick ass. They are a Great band, and their live shows are even better. I've seen them live 4 times so far. They also sign your albums and take pics with you after the shows... Alot of people wonder what happened to Vaden Todd Lewis after Toadies.... and he is still around making kick ass music... I swear to you, so if you were a fan of grunge or 90s alternative rock check this band out.

    Out of those,... definately the Arcade Fire. Both albums are pretty damn good.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    None of these bands are really new are they to be honest? out of the ones mentioned id say Bloc Party, Arcade Fire and Broken Social scene are my favourites, hard to pick one of them though.

    Loving the sunshine underground album at the moment, highly reccomment if you havent already got it. The new single Borders is out soon and its on their myspace. http://www.myspace.com/thesunshineunderground
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I think the thread starter meant NEW as in the past couple years. Not like new new. I am thinking he didn't want any classic rock mentions in this thread? I can't really tell for sure. But that is how I interpreted it.

    I love that scumbag song by the arctic monkeys, always reminds me of a certain youtube clip about Ashley Cole.

    I'm not sure that that's the point...."indie" has become a genre/sound a la "grunge". I believe i've read in previous posts what a HUGE fan you are of the term "grunge" ;)

    Exactly, most "indie" labels now have distributions right up there with the big, evil record companies. They are even getting advertisments in major retail stores.

    Indie has become a genre.

    I think Arcade Fire is the best of the original choices.

    i concur w/ cold war kids and annuals!!! love 'em.

    bands i love from the past year or so...clap your hands and say yeah, band of horses, tv on the radio, favourite sons, tom vek, junior boys, hot chip, tapes 'n tapes, a.c. newman, camera obscura, jose gonzalez...i could go on for days :D

    oh! my personal local fav., that if you ever have the chance to check them out...it's the BEST live show ever!! "band marino"!!! they are really awesome and alot of fun...a little americana/folk, but danceable. i never thought there could be a quasi mosh pit at a folk show, but it happened. and it was fun!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    hahaha i know.

    however, record stores usually have separate sections for "indie" which is dedicated to all sorts of genres, but mainly rock-based, under independent labels.

    it's a little ironic, but makes sense.

    thank god there's no grunge sections, right? :)

    liked seeing pinback mentioned, cant wait for the new album to drop, i really enjoyed rob's solo album as lkinda a precursor, new album should be rad..

    voxtrot is a good call too, while ive only heard two of the eps , i rate them highly and look forwaard to seeing how they go over an entire album

    low have gotta be one of he best indie bands of the lasdt 10 years ?
