You can go to Pandora or you tube ( free versions) and type in a bands name and they will play you a few of their songs and several more of similar genre. If you put a few names in you tube you will get a dozen or so and they will keep recommending songs.
I’m a hard rocker but my wife and I found a station on Sirius called Sirius XMU, the music is referred to as “Indie” referring to Independent or pre-label bands. Kind of bound to be Alternative bands.
Some previous graduates of this category: Arcade Fire, Artic Monkeys, The Cure, Death Cab for Cutie, Black Keys.
I think if you listened to “Royals” by Lorde and 10,000 Emerald Polls by Borns you get a general idea of the music style.
Note, you can also set up a radio station in Pandora and call it Indie and it will pick songs for you.
I find it soothing and melodious, I love listening to it, it’s a happy medium as my wife finds my Zeppelin to Metallica a little harsh, aka” scratchy music”
