Indie rock

Indie rock is a vague term used to identify rock artists that are or were unsigned, or have signed to small record labels, rather than major record labels. It may also describe artists which have a specific “sound”, and is therefore a genre, although this label is contested by many. Edit this Artist photo: The Faint

"Indie Rock sucks. But bands like Kings Of Leon and The Strokes are great." This statement made me die a little inside.

Hey... I'm searching for some slow 90s Indie-rock. Normaly I'm listening to slowcore stuff like Low , but I was looking for something like the slow Pavement Songs... or some slow Yo la Tengo.... or a slower Version of Modest Mouse? Is there any realy slow indie rock band? Maybe something like Seam!?

i love most of these bands but a lot of them are actually signed to a label so technically there not really indie.... but i guess indie is more of a type of sound now instead of actually not being signed :/
