I think Steve Vai owns the publishing rights to his own music, so I guess he's independent in a sense, but none would call him indie, or underground for that matter.

*facepalm*

The Venn diagram of alternative rock and indie rock is a circle.

EDIT: Nevermind that was a stupid thing to say. They're still way more related than you're giving them credit for though.

With a healthy dose of college rock that makes them "indie."

Your people say that it's indie
Indie rock legends Pixies and Weezer coming to Bay Area

Also check out this quote from wiki on the indie rock page

Indie rock is indie rock, you ****ing retard. You know exactly what it means and if you pretend otherwise then that's your ****ing damage cause you know exactly what indie rock is and I'm not going to coddle you, idiot.

When did I say that? You also still seem to be sticking to the ignorant idea that indie means independent or underground.

So they're pop? Seems off imo.

If it feels suburban and thoroughly white, it's probably indie.

according to Allmusic.com

Genre:
Pop/Rock

Styles:
Alternative Pop/Rock
Alternative/Indie Rock
Punk-Pop
Emo

I tend to agree with their view on things. Trying to shoehorn a band into only one box is not always meaningful.
