Anyone know of any good indie albums that I could download?  I love typical british indie bands like, the libs, hard-fi bloc party, the music, kasabian etc.  I am just looking for some new music to listen to.

Hope of the States - The Lost Riots

Arcade Fire - Funeral

The Boo Radleys - C'mon Kids

The Editors - The Back Room
That's all modern 'indie' isn't it? Some bands I was into in my 'indie' phase :

Ride - Going Blank Again, Nowhere
Lush - Spooky, Gala
Curve - Doppelganger
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Kingmaker - Eat Yourself Whole
Spacemen 3 - Recurring
Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies
Primal Scream - Screamadelica (I hated this at the time because it was 'too dancey' and thought it didn't fit with my indie kid way of life... it's actually damn good).
Carter USM - 30 something
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque

I'd also suggest looking up the bands you like on http://artistdirect.com/ and looking at the 'other bands you might like' section.

Franz Ferdinand's latest album is very good.
I reckon you'd like Doves, Stone Roses (and Ian Brown solo) and Elbow - I've just ordered their new album, can't wait!
The Shins - Chutes to Narrow. You won't regret it.

if you like bloc party why not rediscover The Cure?

also old faves like Sonic Youth, The Promise Ring, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sunny Day Real Estate (Jeremy Enigk being an indie Messiah)  - these are all american

Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (warp records)... very Razorlight-ish

You should check out The Ordinary Boys as well.

i used to be an indie kid and a bit of a shoegazer like obonio. so if you want old stuff check out the wedding present or the house of love. i was very pleasantly surprised by the new athlete album called tourist
