New indie music artists - Research

For preparation for our music video, i have been researching many indie artists which can relate to our band 'Remedy'. I want to be able to understand the indie genre and be able to relate our band to similar indie artists.

I have been looking through indie artists/bands which are very mainstream and are very well known.

Bands/Artists

• Vampire Weekend
• Arctic Monkeys

These are two are well known bands in the indie industry which can relate to our all boy band, each band are very similar by them all being in the indie genre and also from them being able to relate to similar songs which include sadness, emotion and hurt. 

Vampire Weekend

They portray as a really cheeky unique band, they look like they understand there music and have a lot meaning behind songs. But they are very funky and also very different. Our band isn't similar to this type of music they are producing, but they are their own individual type of band which shows audiences they are a indie genre band. I enjoyed exploring there website and YouTube account as it showed me how we could portray our band.

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkey are more of an grown up indie band as they have been producing many different songs for many many years. So out of the bands i am looking at these are the most mature ones. When exploring there website and YouTube account i discovered their song called 'Do i wanna know'. It has a very interesting video which is such a simple music video, it changes to the music/lyrics but i has an interesting beat to it.
