I need recommendations - Indieish

[fluke182]

Ok, I have a radio show every Saturday, and I really want my show to stay fresh and have new music all the time, mainly from the indie-ish vein. Last weekend I played everything from Tenacious D to Styrofoam to the Arcade Fire to Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer to Death Cab for Cutie. I'm really looking for anything, so if there is anything really good and new that you've all been checking me out, hook me up in this please!

Well right now, I am planning on playing mainly on the indie front, a lot of the bands you all named I had actually just gotten into recently due to being on the show. I will try to check out the rest so thank you very much.
I do not know if you all are looking for anything, but on top of all those, check out Matt Pond PA, Viva Voce, and Styrofoam. So glorious, in my quest for music those are arguably my 3 new favorites. So hot.
And to Dretti, yeah Domestica is the shit, but their EP's hold a lot of the goodness for Cursive. Various Notes...is their best song. Old Death Cab is also great, This Charming Man is so amazingly Death Cab and not at the same time.

[number1alien]

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun

One of the most amazing albums ever recorded.

[apoemtothedead]

Kitty Kat Dirt Nap.

They're a lot like Zolof, so I hear.

[factnotfiction]

good playlist...

play stuff like Stars, Metric, As tall as lions, Dallas Green (i hear his solo stuff is really good), Sleep station, and more Death Cab/Postal service! they're good. otherwise, all my recommendations are the same as everyone else. oh and some bands just played here with Dallas Green. i didn't go but i hear Raising the Fawn and Sleeper Set Sail are amazing. haven't heard them yet so i don't know.

[Jacoby]

all these bands mentioned are shit

[Sho]

Iron and Wine
FireTheft
Pedro the Lion
The Black Keys
Interpol

[CrossXXMyHeart]

Definitely the shins...

Explosions in the Sky ( yes i know its post rock)
Mock Orange
Pedro the Lion (should be a no brainer)
Pretty Girls Make Graves
The Fire Theft
Sunny Day Real Estate
and some Buck 65 for good measure

Mock Orange are my hometown heroes! I like Butterfly Boucher or Jem for some female indie kind of stuff... but yeah Mock Orange... Buena Vista Social Club... I think that's their name... I heard a little of them the other day and liked it a lot...

[monkeyboy14]

I would definitely recommend playing The Shins, The Arcade Fire and The Postal Service. Also try Ben Kweller, Denali, Eisley, Evermore, Frou Frou, Gomez, Interpol, John Butler Trio, Minus The Bear, Pavement, Phantom Planet, Razorlight, Rooney, Ted Leo, The Format, The Velvet Teen and Something For Kate.

[monkeyboy14]

Ooooooo. I just found another good indie band. They are called via satellite. They are on the front page of the purevolume website right now. I love purevolume.

[CrossXXMyHeart]

I would also like to recommend Rich Creamy Paint, Verde, Slack, Hail to the Keith, The Privates, and Feable Weiner. All of them are pretty much pure Nashville indie scene. And if I do say so myself, they're all flippin' amazing.
