What are some good techno/electronic and or Indie bands?

Any new/Indie hard rock bands worth looking at?

• In terms of mainstream rock I rather like bands who carry on that Guns n Roses vibe with catchy riffs and creative solos like Velvet revolver (Though I know they aren't well liked) and Avenged Sevenfold. I have been searching really hard for some indie rock bands who have escaped my attention that I might enjoy but today's indie music is very light, or pop-punkish. I know the old chorus-driven hard rock style might be a bit outdated but I was wondering if there were any bands carrying on in that spirit. Note: Preferably not in the metal genre, that goes a bit too far.

  Well there are some, but sadly, they are few and far between. A lot of the old bands are still producing, they're just going unnoticed. try delving back into old band's music and see if they've got anything new. Also, it seems you are a fellow GnR fan (good on you, they're my fave XD), try listening to some of Slash's solo works, he's just realeased his second album. He plays guitar (of course) and gets various accomplished singers to do the vocal work. Also, Slash's band Slash's Snakepit is absolutely brilliant, they have that same feel as the early days of GnR. Pretty much, dont hang out for new rock bands coz they're extremely hard to find (good ones anyway). Just look out for old bands releasing new tunes. Hope this helps :)
