Not so knowledgeable about newer stuff, but I would have thought stuff like Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys etc wouldnt go amiss? :)

In the most literal & original sense of the term Indie, YES

Don't you start with your genres etc with me!

I know where the term comes from and it didn't encompass the music at the time, just the type of label it was being promoted on.

That was then, this is now.

Digital Sounds was asking for old and new 'indie' (in the new sense of the word) songs to play.

Any questions? :teeth:
