| Ah yes, the Indie bands. Hmmm... You mean, besides The Killers?  I'd say Interpol and the Kaiser Chiefs. I love them. And Louis XIV. They're such a riot! Franz Ferdinand is fairly represented by MTV...hmmm...British Sea Power is so unique! I love The Stills too...Hot Hot Heat is awesome too, though they get good air time on MTV2.  Muse is just amazing as well!  ~Belle __________________ "It is aneurysm inducing logic that will surely leave me dead in my bathtub." -Ain't It Cool News on the HBP film. | |||

| Our Lady Peace Moist Matthew Good (or Matthew Good Band..the former is the lead singer going solo) Those three are big in Canada but get very little recognition in the US. Limblifter Hot Hot Heat (but from what I hear, they're pretty big in the States) The Dears Matt Mays & El Torpedo __________________ Then I saw in their eyes/even after the fall/there is good here after all/Through the faintest of smiles/in the chaos I saw/there is good here after all | |||

| I recommend Tool. They are my all time favorite band and pretty much the only band I even care to listen too. They have some incredible videos that MTV will rarely ever play. For the whole time I have been a fan, MTV has only aired one of the videos a couple times, and usually really late at night. Maynard James Keenan, lead singer, is a genius. His lyrics are incredible. Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails are really good bands too. | |||
