  • Have you heard of Mister Heavenly Sami? It's a collaboration between Honus Honus, Nick Diamonds, and Joe Plummer (Man Man, The Unicorns/Islands, and Modest Mouse/The Shins respectively). They're calling their music doom-wop for their love of doo-wop and doomed love songs. Album is out in August and I feel it will be my album of the year lol. Helplessness Blues was good, this will be epic.

    Also, think it would be a decent idea if you reviewed gigs you've been to out of 10, with low points and high points of the gig. Or gigs you've seen on tV, like the ongoing glastonbury festival.

    Watched coldplay last night and thought they were incredible if im honest

  • the heavy is my favorite indie band. theyre a very cool hybrid of garage rock, jazz, soul and a lot of other stuff. theyre the first and to my knowledge, only band that has ever received a live encore on david letterman. ive met their singer and he's such a cool guy. check out their song, how you like me now. its been in lots of movie trailers and commercials. i know ive mentioned them in the comments on past videos, but id love to see them promoted on the riob.

  • Arcade Fire... if you can find a better indie rock band than them in the history of music I will post a naked video of myself as a response to this... :D

  • Is Oasis Indie ? But i like the Arctic Mokeys, the Strokes, the White Stripes stuuf like that

  • @MeeshoTV Britpop. They've had moments when they were kind of close to indie, but not really there...

  • @MoonchildMindaugas2 No Need for a label , theyre just amazing

  • @MeeshoTV amen to that.

  • Dude, is that seriously why you got fired from work??? SUCH a freakin' backwards society. We can watch each other blow each other up, but not see body parts....Victorian Much?

  • @jennpower1 haha. No that's not why I got fired. A small joke

  • @RockItOutBlog Okay then, as you were 'cuz you rox my sox.

  • my favorite indie band would be YUCA a Canadian rock band pretty new, not the normal stuff I listen to, It's very..... happy music if you know what I mean. there coming out with a new album here soon I cant wait! I thank they are really good, and different in my opinion. check them out at ww.YUCA.ca there is a music player at the bottom of the page. its about something, tomorrow, glorious day, and gold in your soul. there all very good songs but those 4 are my favorite.

  • I'm not sure if they count as indie because they are very popular nowadays, which is awesome, Cold War Kids.

  • The Black Angels! Awesome band.

  • Hell YEAH!!! BECOMING EVEREST! THOSE ARE MY BOYS!!!

  • BECOMING EVEREST IS INCREDIBLE

  • Indie rock like in indie label or like the indie rock genre? indie label, i say NOFX, indie rock i say Vampire Weekend.

  • promote Street Pharmacy! awesome rock/reggae band!

  • vampire weekend, kasabian, the strokes and arctic monkeys

  • ok go is indie right?

  • good episode, too bad Fleet Foxes aren't coming to New Orleans, then again most indie bands play at bars, so I can't see them. Hope to see them when I'm a bit older though, it'de be very chill but probably beautiful. The new Wilco single's great; can't wait for some new Shin's songs.

  • What is with people just naming random indie bands...most of them aren't even indie (MGMT, the Strokes, Arcade Fire) millions of people know those bands; they are very good but not indie. They started out indie, but don't all bands start out indie. Then again I consider those bands somewhat indie considering they're not extreme and not played on the radio; except MGMT.

  • @golfersamy91 he seems more a hard rock/alternative guy.

  • check out michael bernard francois 

  • Check out Set Sail and The red lights. They are on Facebook. So amazing

  • The Strokes! They're like staccato arena rock.

  • Didnt you say 3 times a week?

    i think this week you had 4 episodes :S !!!!

    3 is the best not more!

  • @1999californication nope. 3 this week and a Blog TV reminder video

  • Really obscure band... Three Studs and a Bass. But I still like their stuff!

  • Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, MGMT and The Wombats

  • HELL YA JACK WHITE MADE FAKE NEWS AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • Arcade Fire, Mgmt and The Strokes who i whould call a big indie

  • Drop Kick murphys are awsome

  • @golfersamy91 actually I have...so you can give me those hipster glasses now

  • i love the variety of the unsigned bands you promote.

    also my fav indie bands good old war and steel train.

  • @Lukeisreallycool thanks for the compliment.

  • My favorite indie-rock band (and favorite band, for that matter) is Arcade Fire. They manage to make a big sound that can grab your heart. Plus, their albums are all classics.

  • 5:23 Not safe for whites?

  • @TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONSS haha. All jokes

  • Best Coast, Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls, Wavves, all those indie surf bands.

  • i love me some Airborne toxic event, Foster the people, Ra Ra Riot, silversun pickups, and spoon

  • *correction iron and wine not iron and wined.

    : )

  • huge fan of wilco, the shins, low (awesome band from duluth mn, insanely awesome harmonies check them out), and iron and wined.

  • @Mrkayjell I agree

  • Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, The National, The Flaming Lips, Wilco, TV on the Radio, The Boxer Rebellion, Fleet Foxes

    And a lot more. Just keep doing episodes and I'll watch.

  • @TheMattC13 Thanks! BTW, I love Boxer Rebellion. Amazing band

  • silversun pickups 

  • Electric President.

  • Well, since I'm Canadian I get a lot of exposure to Canadian bands. Bands that don't get a lot of recognition elsewhere. People like Sam Roberts, Sloan, The Trews, Big Sugar, The Arkells, Matt Mays, Metric. Do yourself a favour. When you have time check these bands out. I know you'll like at least some of them! Nickelback are NOT the only Canadian rock band! Thank God!

  • @PolyphonicPress Oh I'm aware. Sloan and Metric are some of my faves. The Arkells are good too!

  • @RockItOutBlog Glad to hear it! Sloan are amazing live too! Their drummer writes songs, so in the middle of the show he'll come out and strap on a guitar while the bass player goes behind the kit and the other guitar player plays bass. Really great musicianship! On a side note, I'd just like apologize as a Canadian for Nickelback.

  • @PolyphonicPress Rush is still your country's best achievement though.

  • @maalbe987 Very true! 

  • the strokes....

  • Is that really why you got fired? xD

  • @MetallicaFan349 haha. No way.

  • arcade fire and metric

  • Marching band :)

  • No Age

  • White Lies are pretty cool, they're indie rock, right?

  • Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, & MGMT are my fav indie bands. :D

  • Silversun Pickups :D

  • hey man :) i love the idea of the indi review but i dont really feel like your actually talking about indi- your talking about alt rock which does kinda still fit but it'd be nice you spoke about indi (independent indi) music- if that makes sense XD indi music that is independent as well XD

  • @sucksbeingSOawesome most of these bands fall under the "indie" realm but I'm trying to branch out even more.  Thanks!

  • WOO! colbert and jack white.

    Jack wasn't as funny or lively as he usually is, but it was still alright.

  • @TaffyRaphie are you nuts? Jack White was amazing!

  • @RockItOutBlog watch the Dead Weather oral history interview! that was him being ultra funny!

    still pretty good on colbert though

  • THE LIMOUSINES!
