I should clarify. When I say indie, I do not mean bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party.

More of those who are independent.

 

[Pastor of Muppets]

Indie is such an ambiguous term, it's like emo.
If you're looking for people to talk about what people call "real" indie like Pavement, Pixies, husker du etc etc then you should clarify.
Now indie is used to market practically every single band that doesn't isn't emo.

Being on an independent label doesn't really shape the way someone's music sounds.... so I have no idea what you want.

 

[patrickeatworld]

ok my bad :???:

 

[cliffburton]

Indie who are independant.. hmmm is the pipettes consider indie?? is the sounds consider indie?? is Jens Lekman consider indie?? Coz normally this days indie band have sold out just like metallica.. hehehe..

 

[Colarndo]

So all Singaporean Bands considered Indie?
If the term is defined as being un signed to a major Record Label.

 

[Hunderworld]

Indie sucks, i think many singaporeans are into indie. thats the main reason why we wont reach that far. crappy, circus, bad vocals music. ruin the name of rock.!!!

 

[yesitsme]

In the name of rock... sorry to say, but i still can't understand this whole rock and roll thing. i mean seriously, how can a male wear leather tights and survive it. man, it hurts down there and it's impractically hot in there. cmon, the weather here isn't say cooling for that matter. drug, sex rock & roll? er.. right.
similarly for the indie scene, a lot of bands are starting to sound the same.
all in all, at least the good thing about the scene here, is identity. it's all still very singaporean, which is fantastic none the less.

ok i think this is completely out of point and random hahahaha.

 

[yy_fuctup]

Hunderworld, I see that you're one narrow-minded here.

Ye, sure. Indie sucks, based on your word. We'll hail you for sure. Your word is our command.

By the way, it's supposed to be music with bad vocals, not "bad vocals music" as you put it.

Now our little God here has some flaws, doesn't s/he?

 

[kerplunk182]

the strokes (if you'd consider them indie...)
