I don't think I have anything that sounds like Daughtry, Good Charlotte, Green Day, or One Republic. Sawwry.

it doesnt have to sound like them but any alternative song or band that sounds like alternative+rock so anyhting like that it doesnt have to be like those bands Briggins

Gotcha. Have you listened to TV on the Radio before? They're a nice mix of alot of stuff.

Yeah they're great. For songs I would check out Golden Age, Dancing Choose, Wolf Like Me, Staring at the Sun.

 

Maybe give Interpol a shot too? Their album Turn On The Bright Lights is genius.

Which ones do you have?? Phoenix debuted with this song which was a huge hit:

Followed a few years later by this one:

I dunno if it was big outside France...I have the feeling that the 'world' really discovered them with 'Wolfang amadeus Phoenix'... :thinking:

 

For Emma. Lovely. If you like it, look Skinny Love and Blood Bank up from Bon Iver as well.

Do you know/listen to Death Cab For Cutie?

I love indie, alternative and experimental music. I'm gonna recommend a band called The Maccabees (who are my joint-first favourite band ever. They're up there with Coldplay. Haha)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j44-GTlOU6k]YouTube- The Maccabees 'Toothpaste Kisses'[/ame]

 

Those are the two music videos with the most view counts on Youtube. Orlando Weeks is AMAZING <3 I love him :) haha

 

Here's what I listen to:

Well, here, DCFC for you:

 

Grapevine Fires, one of their best (if not the best) on their last album

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu4qQKlyF7s]YouTube- Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires[/ame]

 

Soul Meets Body, probably their most known song:

Here, the song they did for New Moon. Say what you want against this movie, but the song is great:

Let me know what you think!

First off, I don't believe in labels. I am on record as saying that many times. BUT if I did, I would categorize most of these recommendations as Indie, not alternative. When I think of alternative music, I think of stuff ranging from the Smiths/Pixies/R.E.M. to Pearl Jam/Radiohead/Smashing Pumpkins.

Well I agree that some songs in the thread are indie more than alternative. But some of the artists mentionned in this thread are too popular to be called indie, so we call them alternative.

I don't agree with the indie terms...you obviously haven't seen the indie kids at my school :P

Indie kids? :thinking: What does that look like?

Pfft. They're posers, nothing else :P I'm not much into labels though :rolleyes:
