Kind of hard to give an indie suggestion if you don't give some bands you like.

But Grizzly Bear, Matt and Kim, and Say Hi are some different styles that are all good.

The definition of Indy gets me a little confused sometimes.

Friendly Fires:-Paris, Skeleton Boy(probably more electronic dance stroke pop)

Cooper Temple Clause: -Let's Kill Music, Blind Pilots(Probably more alternative rock)

Shiny Toy Guns: - Le Disko, Don't Cry Out(alternative rock that's more popular in the US but considered quite Indy in the UK)

Garbage: - Push it, (90's Indy)

Beck: - Loser, (Indy for sure)

Primal Scream: - Country Girl, Miss Lucifer. (popular UK Indy stroke alternative rock band in the past)

Travis: - Sing, Driftwood. (Indy)

Pheonix - 1901 (Indy?)

Feeder - Just a day, Sweet 16(Indy)

Check out the Why? album Alopecia. Im not really sure how to describe their music. Some of it borders on hip-hop...but not really.

Here is a shorter song from them.

Does Wilco count as indie? Because their album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is really good. That being said, their other albums are not close to as good as that one and some of them are just flat out mediocre.

Evil_Saluki

the technical definition is any record released under an "independent" label, i.e. publisher, last time I checked.

With that said, in my opinion (some jerk jumped down my throat when I said this), there is definitely and indie "sound" to music. Whenever someone shows me a song, and I listen to it, and I go "hmmmm this sounds indie"I have been right about it.
