I must admit that when my band started out, Indie bands were huge, and it took a big effort for us/me to separate ourselves from that classification.I always thought that Indie bands, sounded like Indie bands and I always wanted to sound bigger, more dramatic, more powerful and more commercial. IMO, U2 at one time was as unpopular as an Indie band and actually was a college radio indie band. But U2 never SOUNDED like an Indie band: never wanted to be one.
That's what I'm all about.
Lou Reed created the Indie band sound. Nirvana, no matter how gigantic their record/concert sales, - would always be an Indie band, - and that is a place that I don't enjoy going.
How many scores of folks were upset and angry over the fact that their own personal friends, Nirvana, got so popular, so tied in to merchandizing schemes and were all over the news? This type of hype is the antithesis of the Indie band and their fans. I'm not saying that I dislike Nirvana, but I just don't like the charm of that humble approach and results of that songwriting perspective.
