They are a prime example of why people search for the best indie artist to add to their collection.

The Kooks are one of my all-time favourite bands. Listening to them always reminds me of summer by the beach, even when it's cold and still winter outside, aha. The other artists are all really cool, too. I've never heard of "Misterwives" or "Hurts" before, but I'll definitely be checking them out. Thank you for this post!
