@thatscottishguy Post your Scottish Dub-step reggae and stop moaning.

@Burnley123 Sone great scottish indie bands from the Postcard days, Josef K, Aztec Camera, Orange Juice.
VSonMe · 56-60, M
Well, some great posts already: Smiths, Joy Division, Pixies. But, I'm going with my avatar:

@VSonMe Norfolk to Norfolk.

@Burnley123 yeah weird how life turns out.
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
Fuck this is hard to answer
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
@Burnley123 I nearly put Massive Attack in but I thought maybe it would stretch the definition.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@CheshireCatalyst Nah massive attack are most def indie boy approved. If you post shed fucking seven, then massive attack count. 😎
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@CheshireCatalyst I love Massive Attack, their song Voodoo in my blood is based off a horror movie and is done really well.

@Burnley123 I still need to see it
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@SW-User But If you've lived through it, maybe you don't need to?
SW-User
@Burnley123 This is true.

@RodneyTrotter They'd both be in my top five.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
Manics and Joy Division as indie? You need to define Indie.

@GeniUs I knew someone would say that so I said people can define it how they want to avoid that debate. You did anyway but you posted a great song by a great band so I'm hearting you anyway. 😎
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@Burnley123 but if it's up to the individual anything can pass...
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@GeniUs Yes and no. Obviously, Bon Jovi doesn't count but let's have a wide definition and have fun listening to some vids, not a philosophical debate about Indie purity.

When Noah and the Whale [disbanded] made their album into a short film - it was pretty epic.

@Starcrossed That looks really interesting. I'll definitely watch that later so thank you.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
@Burnley123 it's sad but really good. Though a lot of the songs hit a wee too close to home for me when it came out, so I maybe connected in a way not everyone has.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Starcrossed I've only heard a couple of their poppy songs about ten years ago I think. I don't know much about them but I'll def check that out. The Manics influenced me a lot as a person.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
Hmm... I have a lot of bands that I like but I'll just name a good Indie song I like.

@SatanBurger You have my permission to cheat so long as you do it well, which you have.

Not the best, but relevant [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0kTN7E3lvg]

I’m double-dipping, but what the hey. This band, Not Shakespeare, was popular regionally in my university days. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCQvErNfPQc]

@LvChris I've just got to the point where I don't care. On the other thread: I posted a song by a band called The Midnight who do 80s nostalgia synth-pop for hipsters. Its what I want and I'm just not ideological anymore. Sell me the cheap thrills cloaked in phoney counter-culture. It's great though. 🤣
