The Beatles? The Beach Boys? No. From the start of the song you can tell that this track has strong old school school r&b and soul influences... as well as gospel.
this is such derivitive hipster faggotry. discuss(or hate). beatles/beach boys do it better why waste your time at least olivia tremor control made it feel fresh and not like just some indie band ripping off classic bands
I don't see what the peeps' problems are with CitizenMusicUSA. The explanation makes sense, really. Dr. Dog say, themselves, that they are in the Indie umbrellas. Regardless, we all agree that the sound is a loved one. Right? I hope so.
i was about to give the thumbs down on pandora,and then i heard the chorus and was in shock of how the singer made me feel what he was feeling...good times
So...everyone knows that indie isn't really a style of music. It mostly refers to the fact that the band either has refused to or hasn't signed with a record label. They might make their own label / small label such as Park the Van for Dr. Dog. But now Dr. Dog is signing with Anti- records so their Indie status will be ...a little diminished.
I personally could care less about "indie status" of a band as long as their putting out great music like Dr. Dog is. As long as they've still got a passion for music, it's all the same to me.
@pioneer7777777 sooooo true. although indie music is awesome but its the passion that makes them good not the sound. music is about the true meaning of the sound that makes who you are :) beautiful

That's actually inaccurate. That is to old definition, the mid-90's/Saddle Creek definition when the indie label was able to access a certain, broader audience than was previously possible without the aid of the internet and cable tv. Since the turn of the century, "Indie" has most certainly become a genre of it's own; a genre that includes such sub-categories as indie pop, indie rock, garage (which is not really "rock" anymore), shoegaze, industrial, and surely many others that I'm forgetting.

so what makes an indie band indie? ripping off other bands? If thats the case what about real indie bands like modest mouse, dinosaur jr., built to spill, etc. who have an original sound? are they not indie? and it's all rock regardless of whether or not it's india. the beatles were a great orignial rock band, if your whole album is dedicated to sounding like the beatles, your making rock music
Even more than being a genre or style of music, "Indie" is an aesthetic. Though, I suppose that could be said about any musical variant. What Indie represents, and what its coordinate culture, The Hipsters, represent, is a reaction to the over-the-top-ness of the mid-90's alternative scene, and a return to a simpler, gentler form of music production. In fact, I find that the significance of the Indie sound is built more into the production than into the composition of a particular song.

/i sound this band live in 2005 and they were so cool and high energy. There new music is to beatlesque. If I want to listen to something that sounds like the beatles Ill just listen to the beatles and it'll be a thousand times better than any band trying to sound like them. Dr. Dog used to be more original more energy. this song is good but rock needs to keep evolving otherwise it'll die
And to the people who thumbed me down, I mean that it's too easy to steal the song, now that it's on Youtube. It's too easy now that you can rip the audio in the flash.
I could listen to this song all day, and sometimes I do.
