The Great Indie Wars
Ever get the Feeling you've been cheated!
One generation gave up their liberty and Saturday nights on a quest to make the world safe for kids who want to listen to `indie` music. Its is they who are responsible for the goth kids hanging about outside art galleries, they who are responsible for American alternative culture having invaded everything from clothing, computer games to movies, it is they who felt the need to hold true to their independent music listening credentials so that the rest of the world could live in a musical world free from prejudice where musicians such as Beck could flourish without the need to be pigeon holed into a specific `genre`.
This webiste is dedicated to these brave men and women. They are now mostly likely wearing a suit from M&S rather than battering the door down at King Tuts to listen to yet another no hope asymetrically fringed fop band with a strange fascination for anything on Sarah Records, or driving sixty miles to an independent record shop to purchase a Sub Pop 7" they already own but don`t have the variant on a specific colored vinyl and in the worst cases you`ll find them regaling the world about how they saw such and such a band before they were famous probably supporting some orange dungaree wearing Northern Irish beat combo who sang abot cutlery eating being cool.
John Lydon once asked `Ever get the feeling you`ve been cheated`. Read on and find the story of the children who discovered that independent music didnt have to end when David Bowie bought a suit and that guitar music could be cool without being pretentious. Read the history of the indie wars here
