I currently have been listening to for awhile now:
The Killers
The Postal Service
Elliot Smith
Ruxton Towers
M83
Modest Mouse
Death Cab For Cutie
Bright Eyes
Sigur Ros
Polyphonic Spree
The Shins
The Walkmen
Depeche Mode
Death In Vegas
Interpol
Secret Machines
oh and recentley.
The Arcade Sets Fire
The Dears
Stereophonic
so know any good bands? please share... :D
seriously had no idea half of those were indie rock.
what's it mean to be inndie rock?
edit: also, never heard of the band the Arcade Sets Fire, are they related to the Arcade Fire or is a diff name for the same band?
Does Dispatch count? Bang Bang is a good morning album.
You may wanna start asking around for emo, because that's what a lot of those bands are classified as, far as I know. Try Muse, if you havent already.
Check out the Futureheads. They recently did a cover of a Kate Bush song and its awesome.
Muse
Ash
Feeder
Jimmy Eat World
The Vines
Placebo
Idlewild
That lot should keep you busy. :D
The Killers are awesome, and you said that, so I can't really think of any others.
The Charlatans?
Charlatans are good. The Stone Roses are too. How about Oasis and Blur?
Except for the Killers, those are all probably indie. :)
The Subways
Franz Ferdinand (Are rubbish)
Charlottle Hatherley
Snow Patrol
Nice List, Noname. :) I heart Arcade Fire, they're awesome. But I wouldn't consider a few of those Rock. Like Sigur Rós and M83. But the both of them still kick arse. And I agree with Cid on The Killers, I don't think they belong there, imho.
But, I'm not sure on the whole Indie label. I've always thought it meant the bands that don't get much attention from a lot of the public's eyes, I mean the bands have a large number of fans, but are hardly seen on the television or played on the radio. But I'll give some kind of stab at some of the bands I've heard being called Indie.
The Fiery Furnaces
Metric
Wolf Parade
The Unicorns
Blonde Redhead

Ehh, I'm still not so sure on this. So I hope nobody jumps down my throat or anything. :P

My two cents:
Dolour
Tennis Pro
The Pale
The New Pornographers (my favorite song right now is Loose Translation)
United State of Electronica (you can dl the whole album for free, click on the U.S.E. Album link)
So I just got the new Brigth Eyes albums.
