A Hybrid 10,959 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hi It’s me, A Hybrid, the member with the most offensive music opinions himself. Welcome to the newly founded Indie Central of GagaDaily. For the last year or so I’ve felt unable to listen to anything mainstream, and I still do. Mainstream pop music has started to bore me, same as mainstream rock, hip hop, R&B and the mainstream of every genre you can think of. I just cringe while I listen and it ruins my experience. I’ve mainly been listening to Gaga for her voice and vocal style, her pop tracks also felt tiring and pointless. I’m sorry if this offends anyone but I can’t change the way I think. So I started listening to more obscure artists. I started with St. Vincent, went on with Grimes, Perfume Genius, Fiona Apple, Poppy, Janelle Monae, Warpaint... I also started listening to other more popular but still indie musicians like Tame Impala, Radiohead, on top of the ones I already adored like Arctic Monkeys and Florence + The Machine. And so I wanted to create a space in GGD for all of that. all the indie music fans out there to discuss and share. What could be posted on this thread? I want to keep the definition of indie very loose. Basically anything that is not too mainstream. If you believe that it’s not mainstream, it’s fine by me. I want my fellow indie music lovers to feel free to share anything new they discover here. Please follow the thread so we can have an active community going. Thanks No family’s safe when I sashay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Why don’t you go back to where indie began: The glorious 1980s. The Jam, The The, XTC, The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Specials, The Police, Tears for Fears, The Cars, Japan, Devo, Spandau Ballet, Talking Heads, Talk Talk, The Church, The Go-Betweens, The Replacements, Spacemen 3, Galaxie 500, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, Souxsie and the Banshees. Honestly, once you listen to the birth of indie, everything else after it seems “stale”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJ 8,008 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Deaf Havana are a good band quite unknown they've had a couple of top ten albums here but i dont think they have any charting singles but they are so good if you like big choruses and a pop/rock vibe, songs you need to try by them are Holy, Sinner, Ritual, Fight Song, Hell. Some of those songs remind me of Diamond Heart or something off A Star Is Born with the sound, they are cool. Also Circa Waves are a great band from Liverpool, they have a decent following locally in the city of Liverpool but are largely unknown by the rest of the UK, but they deserve to break through, they have a cool sad pop rock sound and have some different synths and they have an imagine dragons sort of feel but a scouse version. Best songs are Times Won't Change Me, Me Myself And Hollywood, Movies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
