Are there any good Alternative artists out there that might be flying under the radar?

Try cdbaby.com they have tons of indie music! And you can hear samples of the tunes before you buy.\n \nI'm from the NW, and some hot indie bands around here are Twice Baked, Mars Retrieval Unit, High Ceiling. You may have to look for their webpages for cd's? I don't know for sure.\n\nWhat kind of music do you like? All three of these are more alternative than most "alternative" bands.

mmmhmm \nbut if you listen to them it doesn't make you emo or anything, a lot of their songs are more alternative than anything.

They seem to be very heavy on the indie and light on the funk. The first track reminded me of the old Wild Cherry track 'Play That Funky Music'. The music is dated and unimaginative. They can obviously play, but are not individual enough. I think that if they have stage charisma in abundance, they may progress further, but if what I have heard on the site is anything to go by they are simply not sufficiently original to become a top flight band. They should team up with a good songwriter and build from there, because they certainly don't have a good songwriter at the moment. Sorry, but you did ask what people thought.

http://www.indie1031.fm - they're an indie station based in LA and they play all sorts - it's my very favourite!\n\nAlso, try http://www.shockradio.co.uk - it's our uni station. Listen tonight from 11-1 and you'll hear me ;-)

I might be able to help. I have worked with some of the greats in the music industry and honestly, I'm not to happy with anything out there right now. If you would like to know whom I worked with, please reply with an email and I will include my website for your consideration.

As far as I've heard they're not working on anything just yet but they should be in the near future. But don't rush it; they've been known lately to have some big time gaps between recent albums lately. Why that is I don't know, I guess the mainstream's a lot different from the underground days.

I do know them... I've only heard a few of their songs, and I really liked them. Perhaps I should investigate them more... I don't know why I haven't yet. They're pretty good.

Check out stuff by these artists:\n\nBooba\nIAM\nPassi\nDoc Gynéco\n\nMC Solaar is by far my favorite, but pretty much everything from those artists works for me too.

i know that a few years back there was a canadian magazine called "sonic onion" (sic) that covered indie punk/rock.  i'm sure if they're still around they must have a website.  try "soniconion.com".

I recently found a band called Ka'Nal.  They are great, and I know that there is a live show available for free download on Archives.com.  They incorporate sounds from a lot of different cultures.

Try going to the official sites of indie bands that you like or look in music magizines like Rolling Stone.\n\npersonally I like Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, and the Killers. They're other great indie bands out there too.

That's like comparing apples to oranges.  Both are great bands, each with their own unique sound.

Sadly most mainstream music goes like that. And the whole 'new sensation, omg they're gonna be huge' thing has being going on for YEARS. There's always music that talks about 'real' issues even if they mean real to each person or not. Anyway I say if you don't like anything out there, make your own!
