Among the best indie bands are rapidly doing more mainstream artists as leaders inside music industry. Bands are viewed as independent once they release music without the backing of one from the major record labels. This humbler approach allows musicians the freedom to release music that's more experimental to get a more targeted niche audience.- alt pop

Minus the backing of a label, the artist has a freedom to be more experimental with arrangements of songs. Quite often, these artists will also be recording in small studios, or perhaps their own home studio, so they are not pressured by time or budget to rush from the recording and writing process. Since instant mass appeal isn't primary concern of many indie bands, you'll often find extended instrumental pieces, songs with odd lyrics (simply for the sake of being odd), and you can almost always bet on many friends and acquaintances from the artists contributing creatively for the recordings.

Most fans love when a common indie bands released special releases. Albums such as live recordings, acoustic versions, and remixes are extremely popular. It also helps the artist to construct a community of loyal and hardcore followers who'll continue to pour money and support into exactly what the band is doing. Many artists take even further advantage of this by getting fans to have input on creative decisions like set lists, B-side song suggestions, etc.

Fans of indie bands love their favorite artists are still accessible, preferring small concert venues to large arenas. Indie music is rarely featured on the radio, and listeners often discover new bands through word of mouth or demos entirely on their favorite label's website. For any concert-goer who is interested in finding something a little different, the best indie bands provide a great antidote to competed, repetitive, Top 40 music.- alt pop
