I love me some Sleeper Agent! ...I got to see them in NYC play with Walk the Moon!! It was incredible. If you're unfamiliar with Walk the Moon, look up the video for "anna Sun" ....you'll love it!!
When one of the band members were having sex, the girl was screaming, "Get it Daddy." It freaked him out so much, that he had to stop. So it's an inside joke between them, what it has to do with this song...no clue. Lol.
Indie rock is still rock, last time I checked. Hell, it's even in the name. Most indie rock out there is quite a bit softer and less into rocking out than Sleeper Agent is, which is why I prefer them by MILES over boring soft acts like Fleet Foxes.
Well, it's understanable, especially if you live somewhere where the local rock radio station only plays a certain brand of rock, which these days is usually either mainstream hardrock/metal or 90's alternative rock. This stems from the fact that most radio stations take their lead from major record labels who have kind of put rock on the back burner, if not turned their back on the genre. Rock radio has not caught up to the changing media environment.
Also, age may have something to do with your definition. Are you under 25? I bring this up because what someone who came up in the last ten years probably thinks of rock differently than someone like me (30) who came up in the 90's, the hey-day of alternative, which kind of gave us broad tastes when it comes to rock.
@krashkow that's also a good point. i'm 18, and i know for damn sure the 90's brought us some of the best rock; grunge and alternative like Nirvana, alice in chains, RHCP, Days of the New, etc. Rock is such a broad term.
One of the things about the 90's was that "alternative" came to be a big catch-all term for just about any flavor of rock that wasn't metal (metal went from being cool in the 80's to being kind of uncool in the 90's. There were still metal bands, and some were fairly popular, but metal was rarely played on mainstream radio after about 1992, and if it was, it was generally Metallica). (Continued next post)
(continued) Grunge blew up in 1991, and within a couple years it brought with it a pretty wide range of alternative rock to the charts. Then in the mid-90's, as grunge plateaued, radio and the record companies began putting forward even more sounds, so that by 1996-97, you had true variety of rock on the radio. In 1996, you could turn on a radio and hear an alt-rock song, a punk song, a techno song, a ska song, a britpop song & an 80's alternative song (The Cure) all in one hour.
Think harder. "Indie" is not a separate genre. It is a sub-genre of rock. Rock is a very broad genre that encompasses everything from punk to metal to "alternative" (itself a broad label) and, lately "indie" rock. All the bands you named are examples of rock, but they do not cover the whole spectrum, are even a very broad part of it. All are different shades of mainstream metal/hard rock. Sleeper Agent is a different brand of rock, but it's still rock.
Further: Sleeper Agent go so far as to sonically quote The Rolling Stones song "Rocks Off" in their song "Sugar Cane." Last I checked, the Stones are pretty damn rock n' roll.

i heard this on the radio.... and i'm like what is the name of this song? and when i found out i looked it up and played it like 14,000 times out of the 15,847 :P
Before I looked up the lyrics I thought it said "I'm never far behind when my daddy's gropping my mom" when really it says "my daddy's corrupting my mind"....
I think the coolest way would be to rope the pinata down well during a tropical storm and watch all the pieces blow away a bit @ a time. Maybe even with a time-lapse cam on it as well.
Toss it into the mosh pit! Crowd surfing parts getting ripped off as it goes until it falls to the floor somewhere in the middle to get the candy stomped out of it!
i would destroy a pinata by forcefully grabbing its head with my bare hands and rip it off to enjoy the wonderfullness of candy and its joyfullness of ness ness...also i loved to music video, you guys rock, i mean u are my new favorite band! Your songs are unique and you have this new indie/alternative taste to you, your a brand new kind of awesomeness. you know?
