Unconventional Indie Rock: Liars


There are certain bands that defy conventional genres of music and experiment more frequently than others. One band that fits this standard is called Liars which began in 2000 by Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill, and Julian Gross. In the beginning their style fit more the dance-punk category but every since then, they have been dramatically changing their style from album to album (they have five so far). It is not your traditional indie music and it might take you a little while to really get into the band because they are so different. Liars really give art punk a good name and they refuse to stop changing and experimenting their musical style. Each time you listen to a new album, you will think you are listening to a completely different band and yet you will still be familiar with some of their dance-like vibes. However, Liars music has almost a spooky and dark vibe and it will take you into another world. Just listen to Plaster Casts of Everything and you will know exactly what I am talking about.

Take a listen:

Protection

Sailing to Byzantium

Houseclouds
