Indie Pop
Indie pop (also typeset as indie-pop or indiepop) is a music genre and subculture that combines guitar pop with DIY ethic in opposition to the style and tone of mainstream pop music. It originated from British post-punk in the late 1970s and subsequently generated a thriving fanzine, label, and club and gig circuit. Compared to its counterpart, indie rock, the genre is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free. In later years, the definition of ''indie pop'' has bifurcated to also mean bands from unrelated DIY scenes/movements with pop leanings. Subgenres include chamber pop and twee pop. Development and characteristics Origins and etymology Both ''indie'' and ''indie pop'' had originally referred to the same thing during the late 1970s. Inspired more by punk rock's DIY ethos than its style, guitar bands were formed on the then-novel premise that one could record and release their own music instead of having to procure a record contract from a major label ...

Learn To Exist
''Learn to Exist'' is the debut studio album by Australian indie rock band The Jungle Giants. The album was released on 30 August 2013 and peaked at number 12 on the ARIA Charts. Critical reception Iain Sheddon from ''The Australian'' said "The Giants distinguish themselves from the rest with an unrelenting torrent of strong hooks and harmonies, all of them underpinned by choppy, infectious guitar riffs and a tight, punchy but unobtrusive rhythm section" adding "While the melodies are fresh and delivered with cheerful abandon, a whole album of them could prove too saccharine for regular consumption.". Arne Sjostedt from ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' said "''Learn to Exist'' is the right title for this enlivening group of indie-pop songs, as that is just what this band, and its members, are doing and singing about." adding "The Giants show a gigantic capacity for moving flexibly between subtle variations in indie music, and come out of it with a clean, fresh sound".

The Kooks () are an English pop-rock band formed in 2004 in Brighton. The band consists of Luke Pritchard (vocals/rhythm guitar), Hugh Harris (lead guitar/synthesizer/bass) and Alexis Nunez (drums). Their music is primarily influenced by the 1960s British Invasion movement and post-punk revival of the new millennium. The Kooks have experimented in several genres including rock, Britpop, pop, reggae, ska, and more recently, funk and hip-hop, being described once as a "more energetic Thrills or a looser Sam Roberts Band, maybe even a less severe Arctic Monkeys at times".

They were known for their energetic live shows. History Formed in 2010, Jinja Safari were initially a duo of Marcus Azon and Pepa Knight. The two met at a beach party on the Central Coast (New South Wales), Central Coast of New South Wales in early 2010. Pepa lives on the coast, and I live in the city: so we tossed ideas back and forth across email after meeting over a beach campfire party earlier this year. We spent about 4 weekends recording all our ideas at his home studio, where he produced the tracks that we have now, which we're calling 'Forest Rock'. - Marcus Azon (Jinja Safari) After their first show for friends and family in a coastal forest on the Central Coast of New Sout ...
