folk music
ShainaD asked:


I’m looking for some good bands or artists that play indie/folk/alternative music. I want mellow yet upbeat music that makes you happy rather than loud and obnoxious but any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    i don’t know if you have heard of the Fratellis, but they’re really catchy, they’re a new-ish band, indie, alternative, and really cool… they’re upbeat but not loud, if you know what i mean…

    if you want to look into them, check out their songs “Flathead” and “Chelsea Dagger”

    i dont know if you’d be into them but they’re pretty cool.
