Basically I'm a rock fan, but don't really listen to Indie, I'm more into punk, metal, grunge. etc. etc.
I wanna get into indie music as it seems to be the only genre at the moment thats pushing the boundaries. But a lot of indie i've heard doesn't sound good to me, I absolutely hate bands like the Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, The Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs, Arcade fire, basically most british indie bands like that..
I don't mind some MGMT and The Strokes, my favourite indie band ever is Stone Roses, for me they were great and totally unique and still had appeal to rock fans...
So please recommend me some good indie music of 2011 as I feel like a bit like a dinosaur when it comes to todays music, even though i'm only 20!
Update:I'm listening to Crystal Castles right at the moment, its not bad a bit different..
