Indie rock is a catchall term that no longer means "independent" as in label... It seems to apply to anything lo-fi or unique these days. Pretty uncreative, really. Here's a thread where we coined terms for Eisley's sound. http://eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=9795 _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Hey! I started that thread! _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere other then Myspace but... Boyd wrote this as their "Sounds like" on Myspace and I absolutely love it because it makes me grin every time... "Indie rock, as long as "indie" doesn't mean "Independent label"...(on a major; but that's just a style vs status issue). Emotional but not Emo (stop saying emo.). Pop but not popular (Warhol did pop in a commercial way. Rauchenberg did pop in fine art way). Soul-ful but not Soul (cuz like...no booty). Dream-pop, but not a Dreamsicle (well, maybe... if dark chocolate replaced the vanilla interior). Alt (because AP magazine says so) but not alternative...Maybe if Stipe or Cobaine endorsed it, but both will never agree. Haunting but not in an evil way; not like a scary, scary clown. Folkish but not country. Catchy - like when you catch a fishy. Moody but not e-winey. Melodic - yes.very. Rock but take it out of the rock-tumbler after only 3 days (more than that and they get too polished) Radio Rock? Not so far; radio says they're not "broad" enuf lyrically, so maybe that's good; Radio = dumbie downio. College Radio? - yep. On Line Radio? - yep. like - Serius and XM. Modern Rock? - hmmm... Modern Art began late 1800's and ended in the 1970's; Music and art are typically joint manifesto's. Organic: yes, but if an organ - a heart (aww...). Punk Rock? not, because yesterday, a punk rock fan left a message saying, "your music sucks, eat s___ and die"... but since they seem to be embraced by bands like NFG and Blink, i guess the pop part of punk resonates w/ someone in that zone. _________________ Kyle ~ like a boy.. only I'm a girl (g i r l) www.myspace.com/smiliekylie (p r o o f) |
