The Killers, Kasabian, We Are Scientists, The Kooks, Editors, Interpol, Razorlight, The Enemy, The Fratellis, The Arcade Fire, Bloc Party. There's A New Indie Band Around Called The Orange Lights Who Are Excellent. I Recommend All The Above. By The Way, The Bands People Have Listed Before Me Are Mostly Alternative Rock Rather Than Indie. Good Luck =] x

Plenty plenty more where that came from. Ask if you'd like some more.
