Never heard of any of these groups...

iwz Jul 10, 2007

You should listen to some new music.

brotherman Jul 10, 2007

What is Indie Rock? Another name for Punk? No wonder I don't know who these bands are.

iwz Jul 10, 2007

Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that primarily exists in the independent underground music scene. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with underground music as a whole, though more...

brotherman Jul 10, 2007

Good explanation as to why I don't hear of these groups. They aren't publicized well.

forrestina Jul 10, 2007

Indie isn't limited to rock. There are many varieties of independent artists. It's a broad term. These artists ARE publicized, but not in the areas you are looking.

brotherman Jul 10, 2007

Where are they publicized? The local Quick Chek? LOL!

Ever read magazines, blogs, or listen to college radio.

Ah, ok. College radio, yes. In fact I listened to Centennary College's station and hated everything they played during the show Katie does.

lol

Katie does a mostly punk show. So, we've pretty much determined that you don't like Punk as a genre, but don't rule out Indie in general. Although Punk is usually Indie, Indie Rock is not Punk.

No wonder the show sucked. LOL!!

There may be something in the genre I like, but that remains to be seen. I'll ask JP for his mix tonight. It'll make for a heavy ezabel debate one day. LOL!

iwz iwz

keep in mind, some of JP's mixes have a bunch of punk. but it's not all punk. so skip a song if you can't stand it, but give others at least a modest effort. you may be surprised.

The punk would be skipped immediately. LOL!

jp jpOG 2003

the "punk" i put on mixes usually is pop punk, so its a little more listener-friendly to people who may not usually like punk music. so you may find it ok.

Ok, you hook me up my brother from another mother.
