Has Indie changed it's definition? Swear indie is when a band doesn't have a label

[@davidh.8798]

@@jamesoloughlin8268 If you're going to be a smart arse, at least get it right. "Indie" originally referenced "independent" labels, so indie bands *are* signed, just to non-,major labels. On top of that, "indie" has become a generic term to describe certain types of music, irrespective of record deal status. You're welcome.

[@TheGobbit]

Lost count how many times I’ve watched this performance at this point. Legendary moment.

[@Sphinx47]

I grew up playing the drums, and I became very familiar with this song before ever hearing this live version. As soon as the drummer set the beat, knowing the song, my first thought was “how tf is Grian going to keep this on pace all the way to the end, and hit every note in tune?” My jaw dropped at the very end. Thank god for Irish rock and roll.

[@holywoodbitch]
