Well, I know, there are tons of such threads on myLot but I'm just curious. Indie fans should share their tastes, no? And please, no "big" bans, I'd like to hear more about the small and unknown ones :P I'm currently into Bound Stems, Museum, Doves, Honeycut and Iron and Wine.

I think when it comes to real "indie" bands the one that's been getting the most rotation on my player is She & Him. I love Zooey's voice and their style is so different from all the popular music out today. The super sheltered pop princess I work with even recognized her voice (from Elf, of course) which gave me a somewhat vicarious sense of pride. :) I've been kind of on a quest lately (more quest-like than usual) to find more unsigned artists or new-to-me indies. Since I live in a cultural wasteland with absolutely no scene I have to rely on last.fm for tips. Usually I find someone I like (like Neko Case) and the listen to the similar artists. That's how I found Gillian Welch. I found Babyshambles by searching for artists similar to the Libertines ("similar" is a somewhat inaccurate term - "side project" is more apporpriate).
