This has a Strokes vibe to it.I would say Indie Rock.Excellent tune by the way!

Good production. Nice stereo field. Great sounding stringed instruments all around. Good sounding drums. The vocs sit nicely in the pocket. I liked the increasing dynamics of the intro.Genre? You are now baybee with a tip of the hat to some past punkers.

Is there such a thing as Indie Punk? If so your there!Nice song and well executed. There were a couple of places where the guitar ( which I enjoyed ) were in danger of really conflicting with the vocal line. Other than that I enjoyed listening!Keith

Thanks for the help folks.I originally wrote this for an "ala Franz Ferdinand" which I thought was "Alt Rock".Does anyone have an opinion on the difference between "alt" and "inde" rock?

It seems like some people use them to describe the same thing. I wish there were some definitions around here...
