Some of my favourites: Wildlife Control Bronze Radio Return Robert Pollard (Not really new, but indie nonetheless) Caravan Palace The Relay Company CHVRCHES (Although I'd say you missed this one, they're kinda in the middle of blowing up at the moment) Midnight Juggernauts Francis White Bloc Party That's a pretty eclectic mix, So I'm sure there'll be something interesting to you in there.
