Christ - I'm SO TIRED of indie elitism... if a band makes it to the charts or is on the wrong label then they 'suck' or are 'sellouts'. You really need to get a grip if that's the way you think as it DOESN'T MATTER! If the music is good, it's good!
Besides the fact that many small/insiginifact bands are being signed by major labels now right out of the gate.
Anyways - Modest Mouse are very good. I lived in Seattle and from ~90-2001 and for some reason I never got into them. Had plenty of friends that liked them but for some reason I never check them out. I wish I had of course now! First album I bought of theirs was Good News for People Who Love Bad News and it's fantastic. Have all their albums now, but still prefer Good News for People Who Love Bad News. Float On is one of the best singles of the last 5 years.
