looking for music suggestions (indie rock)

Ok so I was wondering if you guys know any indie/pop?/alternative rock bands that are any good. Usually, I dont listen to much indie not that I dont like it, its just that a different type of alternative rock appeals to me most, but, and I am a little embarassed to admit this, Ive recently been hooked on Ingrid Michaelson and Portugal. The Man (both are new to me) and I want to listen to more. I think what I am looking for is like a cross between a male version of Ingrid Michaelson and Portugal. The Man and something like incubus and or MCR (something harder and moody). Like I said I am new to this type of music.

Check out AWOLNATION

I've been in love with them

also Foster the people

Foster the people - Pumped up kicks

also Houdni and Helena beat is killer

do you like Cage the Elephant?

I remember Cage the Elephant from Pandora. I liked them and then listened to more of their songs and kinda ended up not liking them so much. But you just reminded me of an Artist I have been meaning to look into called La Roux which isnt what I am looking for now but anyways I will look into some of your suggestions now. Thanks

Oh and make sure you check out Portugal. The Man's new album (In The Mountain In The Cloud), it's amazing!

Maybe The Decemberists? Might be more folky than what you're looking for. Great band though.

ANNIHILISM

I am listening to the album right now. I havnt made up my mind on it. I like Head like a Flame. Thanks for your suggestions! Now I will go do some exploring...anasbouzid

I personally really like it. So American, Got It All, Sleep Forever, and All Your Light are my personal favorites from the album.

If you like Ingrid's stuff, then you would probably enjoy Feist.

For more indie rock stuff try Phoenixand Vampire Weekend.

Oh, man... I was totally going to help you until you name-dropped Incubus and My Chemical Romance.kamikaze_pigmy

Deerhunter, Built to Spill, Silversun Pickups, No Age, Modest Mouse,Sunny Day Real Estate, M83, Warpaint, Mew

YES! I second the recommendation on Minus the Bear. They are a fantastic band..One of my favorites. If you decide to check them out, I recommend starting out with their album "Menos El Oso". My favorite album from them though is probably "Highly Refined Pirates" just for how fun, yet technical their music is on that album (same goes for Menos El Oso). Another good song to check out by them is Drilling :)

The Zutons. Favorite song: Pressure

Women is a fantastic band. They remind me a bit of Sonic Youth.

For something calmer and folkier, I'd recommend either Smog or Bonnie Prince Billy.

For some more rocky stuff, try some 90's indie rock like Pavement or Make Up.

For more recent stuff, I really like Ariel Pink,Grizzly Bear, Deerhunter, Chad VanGaalen and Fleet Foxes.(I'm seeing them tomorrow night.:))

There was some really good lofi stuff around 2000-2004ish coming from K Records. Check out The Microphonesand Old Time Religion.

Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, they're sometimes labeled as indie rock.

I love the Givers recommendation. I saw them awhile back, and they were amazing.

Try this.

I know, I love their upbeat tone of music. Probably my favorite band right now, along with Portugal. The Man :P
