I was a teenagers in the 90s and was naturally into the indie music of the time - Oasis, Blur, Ocean Colour Scene, The Verve, Manic Street Preachers etc. I was a bit young to be fully into it - didn't go to my first gig until 2000 - but in the days before readily available music I listened to my few cds alot.

This lead into an interest in bands in the early noughties like Stereophonics, Travis, The Strokes and Coldplay. As the decade continued I found another wave of indie bands that i enjoyed - mainly the Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, Hard Fi, The Kooks, Razorlight, Athlete.

But since 2008 or so i've struggled to find any new bands that I can relate to. I know that most people's musical tastes start to 'stick' around their 30s, and i'm always finding new classic artists to listen to, but I am wary of giving up on new music. I'd like to go to a gig which isn't a reunion tour or a festivals that isn't 'nostalgic'.

So does anyone else from the Britpop era still listen to modern indie bands? Am willing to give them a try.

Thanks

Some decent newish indie bands to check out include

Suoerfood
wolf Alice
the history of Apple pie
satellite stories
kodaline
Cosines

Catfish And The Bottlemen are okay but nothing special - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgW67efQduY

It's hard because not many of those types of bands break through now. Probably to do with the way music has changed as well.

Were you a fan of Carter USM back in the day? Their singer Jim Bob has some very good solo albums.

You sound like you could be a similar age to me, I'm 33 so was a teen in the 90s. I still listen to all sorts of newer stuff, off the top of my head I'd say:

Temples
Drenge
Miles Kane
Fat White Family
Palma Violets
Parquet Courts
Peace
Spector
Swim Deep
Superfood

Also, not that new but two of my favourite artists that are still going strong and producing great stuff are Frank Turner and The Cribs.

I was also a teenager in the 90s and I never liked brit pop. I spent my teen years listening to classic rock

Now I listen to a little bit of almost anything

I would suggest going back and listening to Radiohead from the start right the way through from 'Pablo Honey' to 'King of Limbs'. They were contemporaries of the Brit Pop bands and even got confused with them at times but they were infinitely better.

Most of the music on my phone is from the 90s still. However, recently I've deleted loads of old songs and now just listen to whatever is popular now.

Marion - I'll never tire of them.
