to say the truth not really everyone wants to hear peeps on record labels all of the time some of us want to hear some of the unsigned bands with there own original sound yes its repetitive but most more famous bands and artists are too example: JUST ABOUT ALL RAP MUSIC
Indie music is shit. Sung by talentless musicians with repetitive poor melodies, stupid pretentious monotonous working class accents and no soul whatsoever. Soon this awful ‘rock’ music will be gone with the new decade and hopefully some real musicians with soul will appear again like before the 2000s
Take a look at the music download sites listed on http://www.mp3obsession.com
They are all legal, safe, virus free and work with any mp3 player, including iPods.
They aren't free to download from though, songs are 5¢ each, but you can get some good freebies when you register with them.
Toronto
i will list some bands and my favourite songs by each
Kings of Leon – The Bucket, King of the Rodeo, Mollys Chambers
Bloc Party – Like Eating Glass, The Prayer, Two More Years
The Strokes – Someday, You Only Live Once, 12:51
Arcade Fire – Wake Up, Keep the Car Running, Rebellion (Lies)
If you are interested in lyrics, you cant go past these two (these bands also have really good musical sounds aswell) i love both these bands at the moment the most out of any.
Manchester Orchestra – I Can Barely Breathe, Where Have You been, and I Can Feel a Hot One, Tony the Tiger
Brand New – Millstone, Play Crack the Sky, Sowing Season, and The Boy Who Blocked His Won Shot
Brand New can come off a little emo-ish at first, but just listen to them, you can really hear the singers emotion and his lyrics are great, especially in Play Crack the Sky – i believe he uses a ship going down at see as a metaphor for a relationship he had
because it sounds good, makes me feel good and has true meaning and emotion behind it. “Indie” has absolutely NOTHING to do with how many people listen to it. You make a good point, but don’t be so shallow about the subject
Indie music was originally music that was produced independently. Now, however, times have changed and it commonly refers to music that has a similar sound to those few bands that were “indie” (as the original meaning suggests). Also, Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party are both bands that are borderline indie. And finally, what difference does it make? I like music, and a lot of it tends to be indie. But I don’t like it just cause it’s cool. I don’t ONLY like indie, and, unlike you, I like music

What's the focus of the mag? Networking/promotion, coverage/festival listings, classifieds, subculture identity, etc? With that in mind, you may come up with a more specific name.
Think about this: Say the mag is all about promotion and meeting people and getting the unknown bands known. You got a regular column about grassroots and renegade promotion. One that profiles the best local gig joints nationwide. An article about what to look for in a replacement drummer. You've got dreams of getting an affiliation relationship with well known agencies. You've got extensive well-organized classifieds in the back pages. So what's the name? The Bricks. As in, "hit the bricks, get out of the garage and get some damn gigs." You go to your favorite newstand, "Hey! The latest Bricks come out yet?" Not the most invocative of the music scene, but if the content is quality, it'll be memorable. Think about your focus and go from there.
Of yours, I like:
Amplified – Simple. Telling.
imuse – I like it. Maybe not for an indie music mag per se, but could definitely work.
Mic-life – Direct. You know what you're getting. Lacks a bit of poetry, but it isn't too outlandish either. Even tends to stir the memory of Life magazine, which was a household name for decades, but with a decent bit of individuality as well. Even plays to the subculture identity theory of "if you don't know, I'm not telling" when people who don't know of it say <mick> instead of <mike>.Probably my favorite of these.
Chords – Too specific. Sounds more like a music theory mag.
Retropolitan – good word. not for this mag, though, unless you've got a bent I'm unaware of. Write it down and use it somewhere. Album title, if nothing else.
Other possibilities:
Gignation
Indie Pulse (Edit: Scratch this one. Already used for several properties, music and otherwise)
something with "sharp" or "flat" in it.
Extension Chord
Reverberations
Ear Candy
panda bear. woot, woot.
very carefully.
indie bands generally lay low, so good luck!
My favorites are tilly and the wall and eisley (though some other people put them in different catagories)
I'm not sure about the "most proven way," but I always try to find the cheapest method possible. You can sell your MP3s at http://www.myfavoriteband.com for free and the only sales money you lose is the % that PayPal takes (which is about 2.9%). You can also sell your cds, shirts, stickers, etc. on that site, too.
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) is better I think
ralppi1 you are so fuckin stupid. and all other people that say that indie means unsigned bands and shit. indie is a rock genre you stupid fucks! search for indie rock and you’ll see. google is your friend douchebags
haha
Enjoy indie music : )
Then come to youtube . com / machiinate for some of the indie best mixes to come !!
Bottom line. Pure Volume http://www.purevolume.com/ has the best indie band info, downloads and ease of use to find new artists and explore new types of music. Check 'em out.
