The Swedish band “I'm From Barcelona” plays the kind of pop music you'd expect from a Swedish indie pop band -- it's feel-good, eclectic, make you want to dance-in-your-pants kinda music. Check out their 2006 song “We're From Barcelona.”

Formed in Berlin on August of 2006, It's A Musical! consists of Ella on the vocals, organ and keys, Robot on the drums and vibraphone and Marcel on the bass. They use simple melodies to construct beautiful arrangements and are heavy on the use of melody and harmony in their vocals.

There's the kind of synth-pop that sounds dreamy and sometimes well, just way out there. Then there's the synth pop that teeters along the borders or raw in-your-face rock. That's what The Kills are all about. Check out "Cheap And Cheerful" off of their 2008 album Midnight Boom, an Indie Soup Favorite!!
Finding great indie pop tunes is like digging for gold. You gotta sift through the crud to get to the real stuff. Here is the real stuff from Seattle-based Throw Me The Statue -- a song called "About To Walk," off of their 2008 debut album called Moonbeams (Secretly Canadian).
If you enjoyed the 1993 grunge classic "Cannonball," from this Dayton, Ohio band, then check out this latest song from The Breeders called "Bang On," off of their 2008 album Mountain Battles.
