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.

Ask the girl from Smashing Pumpkins Darcy... Or  check out SOL17. Or the Donnas, or the Halo Friendlies, etc.

Have I ever seen a punk? I grew up in the 70's! Cut my teeth on Fear, Circle Jerks, DK, & Black Flag. This crap today is anything but punk. Rent the movie "The Decline of the Western Civilization" for great shots of Punks & even greater music.

They're pretty good, but they tend to be a little more instrumental then I care for - from what I've heard.\n\nThey've got a good punk sound, but they are also tryin to pull off a little rock/punk/instrumental hybrid there!\n\nThey're a little softer then I care for - I like the traditional punk stuff!

Local bands are literally  everywhere. Just check local bars or clubs that could recommend any.

i am actually going to list band names because all of these bands have an eclectic selection. \n\n-Have you hear of the Pretenders?  They are really good.  They are actaully close to being punk rock but i love them and based on some of your other questions i would guess that you would too.\n-Also...i am sure that you like Black Sabbath and Ozzy but just incase you haven't listened to them recently or ever i suggest diary of a mad man (killer guitar- you'd love it)\n-i love the band boston....some of there stuff is big but hey you never know.\n-the kinks are good.\n-Teenage fan club is one of my favorites (kind of sounds like early George Harrison)\n-blur\n-CAKE \n-Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)\n- XTC\n\nyeah there are plenty more...but i don't want to bore you.\n\nBy the way i liked your chuck norris joke. (very funny)

Both punk and goth are pretty neat, just as long as it doesn't come with too much attitude.

Green Day, Nickleback.\n\nThere are a bunch of good local bands too. Every time I start thinking rock is dead, some band comes along and renews my faith, like Guns and Roses did in the 80's and Green Day and Nickleback did in the 90's

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.

I love Good Charlotte.  Their music is ubeat and unique and I love punk rock!  Joel is my favourite member of the band but they're all cool.
