Music Genre

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

The band Florence and the Machine are known to be the music genre Indie-Pop or Indie-Rock. Indie pop is an alternative rock music that first orientated in the UK in the mid 1980's. Indie pop was dominated by independent labels and bands such as The Smiths. Typically instruments used in indie pop are vocals, guitar and bass drum. Indie rock is very much the same, except the fact that it oriented in the United States, not just the UK and also brings in different type of music such as "grunge". It was difficult to find artists alike to Florence as the band is fairly individual as there is nobody else around like them.

THE VACCINES

Just like Florence and the Machine, The Vaccines are also Indie-Rock music genre and British! Although The Vaccines have a different style in music, the feel of independent music is still there amongst these bands. The Vaccines have been described using other genres as 50's rock and roll, 80's American hardcore and good pop music with a twist.

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

Marina and the Diamonds music genre is indie-pop and electronic. She's quite similar to Florence and the Machine as they both have a very strong vocal. Marina and the Diamonds has more of a "fun" aspect to her music than Florence who sings about dark, serious situations.

 

THE SMITHS

The smiths are indie-pop just like Florence and the Machine. They was the most important independent alternative rock band to merge from the British indpendent music scene.
