Ah, indie rock. Is it a sound, a vibe, a business model, a fashion statement?

Maybe it’s a little bit of everything.
Either way, it’s the genre that, for better or worse, is probably responsible for this blog’s existence — and thousands of other music sites for that matter. See, where the lamestream media forgets to talk about real music, we here never miss a chance to pick up the newest indie band in town that shows how music should be made.
