ENOUGH about ex girlfriends and broken hearts, its about time I explored other advantages of this site.

Anyone recommend some good indie rock? I have pretty much heard everything but I'm always looking to try out new bands. If you have some bands worth checking out please feel free to fill it up!

Some EXCELLENT bands you should try are Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, the Pixies, Janes Addiction, The Shins, Fleet Foxes,The Strokes, Built to Spill, Kings of Leon that should get you started on some...

I'm going to try and visit the more obscure shadows of my library to maybe find some stuff you've never heard (or some bands you may have heard a one-hit-wonder from but nothing else)...
