An (incomplete) guide to Australian indie
So I was posting that Bluejuice thread and thought to myself, 'there's a wealth of great independent music in this country, but we don't really hear it about it much on here, since obviously this tends to be an American and European-dominated forum'. Those words exactly. For my part, I haven't exactly done much to help the situation since I dig a lot of international bands, a lot of times more than ones that come from Australia.

But that said, a lot of my favourite bands *are* Australian, and for those of you who are overseas and may not have had exposure to some of them, this is a brief rundown of some of the better acts (imo) that are trotting around our country. There's something for everyone! Folk, rock, electro, instrumental, pop, probably a couple other genres I'm forgetting... whatever. Enjoy the flavours of the Southern Hemisphere:


Architecture in Helsinki


Little Birdy


Leader Cheetah


Sarah Blasko


The Grates


Dappled Cities


The Middle East


Philadelphia Grand Jury


Art Vs Science


Pivot


Art of Fighting


The Whitlams


I Heart Hiroshima


Hungry Kids of Hungary


Angus & Julia Stone


Love of Diagrams


The Drones


Wolf & Cub


---------------------------------------

Jesus, I'm stuffed. Way too much goodness. Enjoy, ignorami.

yeah the Grates are normally not the type of band I like, but they're pretty ridiculously catchy. And they do good live show, if not just a tiny bit weird.

I'd post some Frente! (old school baby), but embed is disabled on any of their stuff.

Anyways, The Grates are catchy. The rest rather blah.
