can anyone recomend a really good indie band and a particular cd to buy? i know i like The Shins, Modest Mouse, Tegan and Sara, Bright Eyes, The Anniversary...but I am looking for something weirder or more outthere than these bands but not to the point where its just stupid. i bought the new reggie and the full effect cd and hated it. i don't know what cd to get because i've been listening to hardcore all my life and its extremely boring to me now? any suggestions??

Get soulseek. Buy what you like.

Not meaning to hijack your thread, but I heard a funny line today............

"I'm so indie I don't even like garage bands 'cause the people in the neighborhood have already heard of them."

I have Songs Not To Get Married To and I like it

But some other indie bands to check out would be Metric, The Polyphonic Spree (if you are looking for 'out there' stuff), Spoon, Jem, and Of Montreal.
