Indie rock is a genre of rock music that originated in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1980s. The term is often used to describe the means of production and distribution of independent underground music, as well as the style of music that was first associated with this means of production.[1] Indie rock artists are known for placing a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, releasing albums on independent record labels (sometimes self-owned and operated) and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, airplay on independent or college radio stations and, in recent years, the Internet for promotion. Musicians classified as indie rock are typically signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels, although there are many examples of indie musicians switching to major labels mid-career. This practice blurs the lines between indie and mainstream music and is often the subject of debate amongst fans. Indeed, some bands that have spent most of their careers on major labels are still occasionally referred to by the press as indie rock because of their sound or aesthetic.

A variety of musical genres and subgenres with varying degrees of overlap are associated with indie rock. Some of these include lo-fi, post-rock, sadcore, C86, math rock, shoegaze/dream pop, indie pop, noise rock, noise pop, riot grrrl, post-hardcore, twee pop, alt-country, post-punk revival, garage rock revival, dance-punk, indie folk, baroque pop, and indietronica.

The roots of modern indie rock are often traced back to The Velvet Underground's self-titled debut album, released in 1967, which was ranked _7 on Blender's list of the 100 greatest indie rock albums.[2] Allmusic notes that every "left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt" to this album.[3] The Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds is also commonly listed as a highly influential starting point.[4] Later, the punk movement of the 1970s had a direct impact on the DIY aesthetic that later became a cornerstone of indie rock.

In the 1980s, the term alternative rock was more or less synonymous with indie rock.[5]

1. UK Indie Rock Band: Getting Frank with The Franks
November 13, 2009

Conveying real sentiments and emotions in a new and revitalizing way, The Franks is one of the great and top UK indie bands. Their towering vocals pooled with sharp and powerful riffs leave a feeling of lightheadedness and uplifted spirit. Indeed, this is what the band is all about – true emotions behind human life! Unlike some bands that play all-too-often, cheery songs, the theme of the band is more on their forward pessimism. Take it from the lyrics of their vocalist Jamie Frankel. Almost everything is about disappointment and pain, which if taken into consideration is very relative to... (read more)

2. Scrubb: A Different Indie Approach
November 13, 2009

Thai power-pop and rock group Scrubb bring to spotlight their softer side in an exceptional ‘Best of’ album. It is quite surprising to know that Thai indie band Scrubb in Thailand. ‘Surprising’ indeed since vocalist Muey Thawachpol Wongboonsiri and guitarist Ball Torpong Chantabuppha are grubby, sloppy musicians who flavor Beatlesque tunes with sympathetic lyrics. There are even no suggestions of rock star glamour to light them comparing to other, more vivid acts in the Thai music industry; although getting your way through their jam-packed venues during live performances might suggest ot...

8. What's The Difference Between Emo And Screamo
September 06, 2009

What used to be an underground music style in the Washington D.C of the early 1980s broke into the mass media in the early 2000s; EMO, a music-style that has transformed into a lifestyle phenomenon. A little later, but almost at the same time another music-style evolved from San Diego called Screamo. This article tries to outline the differences between these two music-styles. Emo emerged from what was called Emotional driven hardcore punk in Washington DC in the early 80s. The music was made of melodic guitars, varied rythms and very personal, confessional and impassioned lyrics. The ter... (read more)

Diego McCartney & The Amusement, the small indie rock band from Austin, Texas are set on making a strong come back. After the absence of these passed months, the bands reps have confirmed an August release of their much anticipated albums, but is it too late for the band to even make an impact? The band have lost much credibility and fans seem to be quite annoyed and fed up of the name Diego McCartney and The Amusement, but of course it hasn’t been entirely the bands fault.

11. A Fresh New Group In the Music Industry
June 29, 2009

Lungs, the debut album by Florence and the Machine is a mix of soul, rock and indie music. It has received numerous five star reviews and one that that truly attracted me to the group was the amazing album cover. "Dog Days are Over," the albums opening track showcases the bands talents with a gentle sounds of soft vocals and harp tones. It leads into a thunderous crescendo and then cuts into a timid piano piece. It is a great way for the band to introduce themselves and their talents to the listeners and encourages people to look closely at the album as a whole. Florence Welch rea... (read more)
