hey! I need some help finding some indie albums (preferably from 1990s-present)that really rock out! I'm talking about albums that have awesome guitar riffs and songs that make you pull out an air guitar!
I found that many of the albums that are posted here often sound very alternative and electronic. I am hoping that maybe there are some recent indie albums out there that simply rock the good ol' fashioned way. I'm looking foward to your posts! Thanks! |

The best possible option is The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
It's got some heavy riffage. Listen to Stuck Between Stations and you will be sold. Enjoy! |

The Hold Steady are my recommendation also. Anything by Dino Jr. or Built To Spill too.
You might want to dig through this thread as well. |

Eagles of Death Metal and the Black Keys are good recs mentioned in that other thread.
----- I don't dig the Stripes, but I'll go for Har Mar. |

Try the Hot Snakes or any of the bands that Rick Froberg or John Reis have ever been in (ie: Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Pitchfork). Actually, I think the Hot Snakes' drummer (I forget his name) was in Delta 72, which might also be up your alley.

I love giving this answer... Mastodon- Leviathan Although Blood Mountain is probably a better rec, but I just love Leviathan god dammit! |

Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweetheart (definitely check this one out)
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods (hardest rockin album of the decade in my opinion) My Morning Jacket - Okonokos (live) Fugazi - The Argument Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine At The Drive In - Relationship of Command McLusky is a great suggestion as well. |

Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic
kinda sugary, but it definitely rocks too. And I think it rocks in the old fashioned way you're talking about. Tragic ending for these guys - I'll let you figure it out for yourself, unless somebody else really wants to tell it. |

Fuck Yeah! Yank Crime is the shit. Especially "Here Come the Rome Plows." I think at one time Mario Rubalcaba was the drummer for Hot Snakes. That dude has eight arms. He was also in Black Heart Procession and Clikatat Ikatowi. |

I (strongly) second Death From Above 1979. Although be warned that there is no guitar, only bass. Still awesome though.
And I'll add The White Stripes. Nothing electronic really going on there. Go with Elephant or Icky Thump, they're pretty straightforward rock albums. |

Les Savy Fav - Inches
THIRD DFA1979. Seen live, torn up (it's funny grammar time, see.) Jesse does rock a bass but there's no question in your mind it's an ax. |

The gentleman asks for indie rock and you offer up Mastodon? Hmmmm...... Built To Spill is a good chice, but I would go straight to their most epic, best record and go with Perfect From Now On. |

hey, i just registered here, i love the indie rock forum and always come and read this stuff but this post pushed me over the edge. I just had to become a member because the best old fashioned rock ive heard recently is not listed...ROSE HILL DRIVE. They are an unbelievable trio playing rock and roll with a sound that is all their own. I saw them open for The Who in california last summer and it was one of the best performances ive EVER seen. aside from that, i loved the wolfmother album for a few days but it just got boring after that. and i also am quite intrigued by battles' new record as well. i didnt think i liked the sound at first but it kept growing on me. goodbye for now
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. |

I haven't heard it yet, but I'm a big Meat Puppets fan, and I bet that the new one "rocks out"!

I think he was implying that Mastodon is not indie rock (more like metal, eh?). |
