I’m looking to expand my music taste ^^
I’m a big fan of the alternative rock/indie, pop rock and rock genres & my favourite bands are P!ATD and Bastille.

Hopefully this is a good basis on what to recommend, I would really really appreciate it & it could help others too!
❤️ ^^

I was a huge alt./ Indie rock fan back in day too (:
Nice to see my people continue xD

My favorite bands from that time were P!ATD!, Paramore, The Neighbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Audioslave, Bad Suns, City and Color, Flyleaf, From Indian Lakes, Incubus, Last Dinosaurs, and Local Natives

I hope at least one of these could resonate with you (:

@downpour
Some of my personal faves:
Nirvana - A classic for alternative rock! x)
Arctic Monkeys - Love this band. Arctic Monkeys really made me open up to indie rock.
Foo Fighters - I stan Dave Grohl.
Radiohead - Creep's a good song, but there's so many other treasures by Radiohead!
