Indie Rock is the genre of the song (Take me to church - Hozier) that myself and my group have chosen to do for our music video. The genre is form alternative rock which originated in both the UK and United States in the 1980's. It was in the early 2000's that the music industry started to change and the technology adapted to allow indie rock bands to enjoy commercial success, despite many indie rock labels being formed in the 1980's and 1990's.
The term 'indie rock' describes low-budget labels with artists who have a do-it-yourself attitude that makes the success of the artist his own doing. Artists from this genre stereotypically like to explore new sounds and emotions making the artists extremely diverse, which enables them to strike distribution deals with major corporate companies.
The typical instruments that feature in an indie rock song:
- Guitar
- Bass guitar
- Drums
- Keyboard
- Vocals
The indie rock genre adopted a wide variety of styles which differ from grunge-influenced bands, experimental bands and punk-folk singing. Early indie rock bands are thought of to be attempting to replicate the success of Nirvana after their success in the 1980's and can be seen as the band that founded the indie rock genre.
