The 30 Best Indie Rock Songs of 2016 (20 - 11)


No fucking about let’s get into it.

20. Get Inuit - Pro-Procrastinator 



Get Inuit are a dirty pop band from Kent, England. They sound like Peace and VANT. Pro-Procrastinator (Nov'15) veers between bouncy English guitar pop and muscular grunge. When it's on song it kicks harder than a horse.





19. Twin Atlantic - The Chaser 




Twin Atlantic are a rock band from Glascow, England. They sound like Biffy Clyro and Muse. The Chaser (Aug'16) has a massive glam-rock riff and is a bombastic, hedonistic, party anthem. 




18. Pop Cult - Feels Right  





Pop Cult are an indie rock revivalist group from Sunshine Coast, Australia. They sound like The Stone Roses and Primal Scream. Feels Right (April'16) is retro-Manchester indie so righteous you'll find religion, and has an intense vocals and hand claps only breakdown. 





17. Sheer Mag - Nobody's Baby 





Sheer Mag are a punk band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They sound like MC5 and Thin Lizzy. Nobody's Baby (March'16) is packed to the gunnels with 70's classic rock riffs and the fiery lyrics are delivered with fury. Gritty. 






16. INHEAVEN - Baby's Alright 





INHEAVEN are an indie rock band from South London. They sound like The Pixies and My Bloody Valentine. Baby's Alright (Feb'16) is a catchy post-punk tune with a harsh word to say about war-mongering and a me-first generation. 





15. SPOOKYLAND - Big Head  





SPOOKYLAND are an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia. They sound like Oasis and Neil Young. Big Head (March'16) is a stadium rocker with ringing riffs and pissy vocals that take a savage swipe at gender issues.





14. Jamie T - Tescoland  





Jamie T is an indie rocker/alternative hip hop artist from London, England. He sounds like The Clash and Rat Boy. Tescoland (Sept'16) is an upbeat, ska-tinged, classic punk song.






13. Animal House - Domino 





Animal House are a garage rock band from Brisbane, Australia. They sound like The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys. Domino (Oct'16) is the perfect mix of sixties garage and new century indie with a chorus as catchy as chlamydia. 





12.Spring King - Detroit  





Spring King are a post-punk band from Manchester, England. They sound like Public Access TV and FIDLAR. Detroit (May'16) is a primal four-to-the-floor rocker that crackles with energy.





 11. OTHERKIN - I Was Born 




OTHERKIN are a grunge pop band from Dublin, Ireland. They sound like The Vaccines and VANT. I Was Born (Feb'16) is a snappy indie rocker with more bite than a crocodile at Disneyland.
