exitsense
10.19.10 | Those are like the alt/indie bands that people (usually scene or post-scene kids) who don't normally listen to indie music like.
For music that's similar to the three albums on your list, try As Tall As Lions, Maps and Atlases, Tera Melos, Manchester Orchestra, The Dear Hunter, and Portugal. The Man
For indie music check out this list http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=58145&memberid=317354 |

10.19.10 | "Bands like the ones below get the label of being in the genre "Alt & Indie". Yet these are the only I can find that are of this classification. I've exhausted my exploration of bands on the "Alt" side of this genre, but what about the indie side?"

kangaroopoo
10.19.10 | alt>indie |
dreamobile
10.19.10 | alternative - incubus, breaking benjamin, red hot chili peppers
indie - yo la tengo, wolf parade, pavement
for me, i define alternative as what i actually hear on the radio and indie as what i'd like to hear
listen to both enough and you'll be able to tell the difference
as for the three you have up there, maybe dredg can be called alt but you could be more specific with the other two
circa survive is post-hardcore, minus the bear is math rock |
BigTuna
10.19.10 | The Mountain Goats
The Weakerthans
that's good to start |
