I would consider this "indie-rock", but the way alt-rock is classified here on Taxi listings, it probably fits under there too. Kind of sounds like Franz Ferdinand to me, in a loose way.To me, indie rock is Franz Ferdinand, the Bravery, Strokes, Taking Back Sunday, Bloc Party, etc. And alt rock is Seether, Cold, Hoobastank, Evanescence, etc. Just my opinion tho -Jeff
