Indie Rock

I really am not a big Indie Rock fan and don't know that many of the smaller bands out there that haven't signed with big labels or were never that famous. I know a lot about music, bands, styles, and genres, but not that much about Indie Rock so;
If there is anyone who can suggest some good Indie Rock bands i can go look up and check out i would greatly appreciate it. (p.s. please dont mention Modest Mouse, i know they have a new album coming soon, but i think their previous ones stunk so im not buying.)

Well I'm a pretty big Indie Rock fan. Here are some of my favourite Indie bans:

Arctic Monkeys - Not everyone's cup of tea. I really like it though. From England
Bloc Party - These guys are pretty good. From England
Little Man Tate - Great band! Just released their first CD. Really good listen.
The Subways - Pretty good. If you like Bloc Party, you will like these guys.

So yeah, these should start you off. I really recommend Little Man Tate though.

Snow patrol. Not sure if that one counts, though.

that's not really indie is it? Snow patrol & Artic monkeys are not real indie if you ask me.

How are we defining Indie here? It's always seemed a rather bizarre genre to me, in that it was primarily defined by the way the music was disseminated, rather than what it sounded like.
