I should have put my album review here 1st :-) in Indie/Alt. I could have avoided all that trouble. :-) Anyway, as far as 'indie' bands go MRI is probably the quintessence of 'indie'. They own their own label (Xyen Records) and are currently working with Eric Greedy who produced Hurt
Vol 1 & 2.
Helicopter Head single
The have a small but growing audience; they even have been 'covered' already with fans posting their renditions of "Helicopter Head" to youTube:

I'm obviously a big fan but I have seen this band evolve in FL for over 6 years: check them out...all their songs don't sound like Alice In Chains anymore; they have evolved out of that stage for the most part, I think, into a more (early stage) Radiohead-ish Indie spirit. The songs are all different sounding and intriguing now. I am curious to what the Indie crowd here thinks as well.
Cheers!
