Indie Music Fans Quotes

In the early and mid 1990s, every musician I knew was obsessed with Helium. The 'Pirate Prude' EP and 'Pat's Trick' played on repeat at nearly every gathering I attended. And we didn't just listen to these records - we discussed them, the worlds they opened, novelistic and strange.

I guess my music taste is pretty predictable: I like new indie rock stuff, older stuff.

I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.

I've never heard anything like 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.' The Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band, and that is my favorite album.

The word 'indie' is meaningless now. It's so over-used that people think it simply means green hair.

Authentic rock and roll is a sound that I've always been drawn to with bands like Brand New and Jimmy Eat World.

I've always been indie.

But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.

It's just like music when you reckon it up. It's like listening to Pavement it's just The Fall in 1985, isn't it? They haven't got an original idea in their heads.

The Strokes are one of my favorite bands... And there's this band called Future Islands that I love.

The overlap between Pavement's fan base and people who liked Silver Jews was total. In my mind, even a local band with 20 fans had more unqualified support.

I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.

I love music, particularly Radiohead, TV on the Radio, The XX and Tribes - they're a great new band from Camden and well worth a look at.
