Genre research

Indie/pop/rock

Indie pop is according to various sources is a form of alternative rock, the bands tend to have an appeal to a younger audience with the odd one or two breaking off and appealing to an older audience, they generally aren’t synthetic and adopt an organic fresh approach to music. It is only since the 80’s that these type of bands have been snapped up by record labels.

The genre has aspects of punk, giving the bands a slight edge. The punk factor is evident in the band I have chosen, 1984s band image is modern and has features of punk. The genre has mainly originated in the UK and USA but has influences in Australia and Newzealand.


Razorlight are a good example of a similar modern band around currently.
