They're mine

From Belfast but based in Scotland.

by indie i don't mean the music genre, which is the most retarded idea ever. I mean bands that are underground or signed onto indie labels. I'd consider Tegan and Sara a underground band considering not many people know who they are, and they play small bars

Well, i must give them a listen! If they're based in scotland, you know its Class.

and if they're from northern ireland well ... we know what that would interest you my dear

HEY
I'm not a bigot man, unless the band plays songs in a Rangers strip, theres no problems .

It isnt my fault i have illegal connections!

most of the ones that i can think of right now have been mentioned

except this gem from halifax

Matt Mays

The February's

Isn't Neko Case Canadian too?

i'm not into canadian indie too much, well i haven't come in a lot of contact with it. but i'm a HUGE broken social scene fan

yeah i've just recently gotten into it. I've had a subscription to Chart for a long time now, but i never really paid much attention to any of the bands they rave about untill recently. Canada really does have an amazing music scene just under the surface. You look at some of the critically acclaimed college radio bands in America and it seems like Canada has tons of bands better then them just under the surface.

I would suggest trying out some of the local bands Chart suggests.

Ohhh Yeah. Chart reccomends some reallly awesome sauce music. Alot of who i listen to now, was because of chart.

Yeah people get down on Chart about how their writing isn't very good, but i love it. It's really casual and they have a great sense of humor. It's more like real people writing then "magazine writing". Not to mention they're probably proping up the Canadian music scene, they're awesome for exposing awesome bands in local areas.

Back in the day when Matt was underground he was a Chart darling, even became artist of the year

I love chart
I dont really care who knows, its a great Magazine.

Completely agreed. I recently got into it also

THE CONSTANTINES!!!

I'm serious, this band is amazing! Saw them open for Hawksley one time and slowly became hooked...Shine A Light and their self titled album are awesome....oh ya and their very good live too....like at one show in London, someone told them to "take of [their] pants!" and they did..like the lead singer took off his clothes and rocked out with his guitar...well maybe that doesnt float your boat (lol) they were still really awesome!

*alana*

Well i fthat ins't rock and roll i don't know what is
