Indie has become a rather vague term in music. Originally it was used to describe bands or artists signed to an independent label but that is no longer the case. Now indie has evolved into a genre which takes influences from pop, rock and alternative music. With the endless supply of new bands emerging on the internet it can be difficult to find ones worth listening to. So here are five indie bands who are the best at what they do, making feel good music which we love.<\/span><\/p>\n First on the list is a band called Dog Is Dead<\/strong>, and they have been delighting fans with their clever indie-pop tunes since 2008. After touring with bands such as Bombay Bicycle Club and developing their live sound, they released their debut album \u2018All Our Favourite Stories\u2019 in October of last year. Dog Is Dead combines uplifting melodies, choir like vocals and elements of jazz to create a joyous sound which can\u2019t help but make you smile.<\/span><\/p>\n Top tracks: \u201cGlockenspiel Song<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cDo The Right Thing<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span> Like many young Australian bands,\u00a0Last Dinosaurs<\/strong>\u00a0gained success after posting their demos on Triple J Unearthed. Their debut record \u2018In A Million Years\u2019 is the perfect summer soundtrack filled with infectious, pop hooks and danceable tracks. As self-proclaimed perfectionists, Last Dinosaurs pride themselves on their clean and refreshing sound, avoiding the use of distortion.Fans of guitar-based pop,this could very well be your new favourite band.<\/span><\/p>\n Top tracks: \u201cZoom<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cAndy<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span> Following in the footsteps of bands such as Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr,\u00a0The History of Apple Pie<\/strong>\u00a0create a nostalgic sound with their use of feedback-heavy guitar. But this is not your average lo-fi, noise pop band. Lead singer Stephanie Min\u2019s sugar coated vocals and melodies set them apart from the rest. The History of Apple Pie\u2019s debut album \u2018Out of View\u2019 was only released in January this year but they are well on the way to making a name for themselves. Even if it is a rather long one!<\/span><\/p>\n Top tracks: \u201cMallory<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cDo It Wrong<\/span><\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/span> Despite not having released an album yet Swim Deep<\/strong> have already gathered a massive following. Currently one of the most talked about bands to come out of the UK they are praised for their bright and feel good tunes. They say their influences are the weather and that is certainly true as their sound is inspired by a range of genres. Swim Deep create music which you can escape into, so keep an eye out for their debut album \u2018Where the Heaven Are We\u2019 which is due for release August 5th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n Top tracks: \u201cShe Changes The Weather<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cHoney<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span> It is an exciting time for Sydney\u2019s Glass Towers. With a debut album set to be released next month and a national Australian tour this is the beginning of a bright future. <\/span>Glass Towers<\/strong> have toured with bands such as The Kooks and TOY, showcasing their vibrant energy and talent for clever song writing. Jangly guitars and soaring choruses, you can\u2019t help but dance to their contagious tunes. \u2018Halcyon Days\u2019 drops on July 5th<\/sup> so make sure you pick up a copy.<\/span><\/p>\n Top tracks: \u201cJumanji<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cHalcyon<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span> An Evolving Genre by Melina Scarfo Indie has become a rather vague term in music.
