Good Indie / Rock bands

I was just wondering where you guys/gal's got your music from, I checked out that radio station but it was down . Other then that where do you get most of it from/hear new stuff?

I hear most of mine from MTV2, MTV's alternative music station on Cable, its pretty good. Theres also a great music shop near me which does a thing called "suck it and see" so if you buy a cd and don't like it, u can swap it for another.

The next album i'm gonna get is Ash's new one called "Meltdown". Its meant to be very good and its nice indie / Alt stuff!

Franz Ferdinand kick ass, I'll have to check out some of the other suggestions.

VH2 is my favourite music channel, its more indie than MTV2 is.

They aren't indie but i would suggest '8 days late'.
They are a band formed by 3 of my mates and they are great, they haven't made it big yet but it is only a matter of time as they are doing gigs around manchester all the time.
Check out the web site and see for yourself: http://www.8dayslate.co.uk

Hey, Welcome to Ozzu Ryo!

I'm downloading your suggested bands 2 mp3's now, I'll let you know what i think whenever i get the chance to listen to them.

The Killers are a good indie / alt band to check out if you haven't heard them already.

Goin' to bed,

L.A. based Motochrist is the brainchild of lead guitarist Marc Diamond, of the Dwarves, singer Danny Nordahl, of NY Loose and the Throbs, Ricky Vodka, from Humble Gods, and Chad Stewart from Faster Pussycat Started in 1998, as “a way to get free drinks” Motochrist quickly gained a following by playing straight up, guitar rock. It’s not hair rock, nor heavy metal, or any other sub-genre of rock and roll, it’s just pure loud rock and roll and it’s good.
