The Indigos

I'd kill for what you know...

About Me

Corruption, debt, popular culture and tabloid journalism. The afore mentioned categories define our lives today, as we bask in mediocrity on our little Island, unaware that somewhere deep in the belly of Britain, four young men toil away, desperately trying to find a soapbox big enough to show you the error of your ways. The Indigos are what they are, thought provoking pop enthusiasts in the same vein as their heroes before them. The bitter social commentary of Morrissey, the avant-garde sensibilities of The Gang of Four, the wide eyed enthusiasm of The Sonics, the uncompromising attitude of the mid 60s punk and psyche forefathers, all combined to create these four young men and the assault on the ears they are quickly growing a reputation for. The Indigos now look to the future, with an extremely strong demo under their belt and some amazing live performances to boast of, they've started as they mean to go on, upwards.

"The Indigos! Top Of The Pops!"
Eddie Argos, Art Brut
"...I caught the last few songs from The Indigos, a four-piece indie/punk band with a raucous set of songs destined for the big time. With bucket loads of charisma and good vibes, they were just what I needed to step things up a bit on a lazy Saturday afternoon."
Tess Langley, BBC Birmingham
"...The Indigos produced the goods with a tight set. It seems only a matter of time before the awesome foursome, with 18 months of solid gigging under their belts, make the breakthrough they have worked so hard for."
Ben Lowe, BBC Stoke & Staffordshire
"A fizzing, thrilling ride through the choppy waters of alternative pop helmed by a bubbling melody and insistent guitar hooks."
Shifty Disco Singles Club
"...you hear Gang Of Four, Talking Heads and the more considered side of late seventies Punk, or mid-eighties underground American pop, or even the better side of nineties lad-rock but, they seem to effortlessly mix it all up, give it their own twist and come up trumps every time. Love it!"
Kid Lightning, The Skull Club
"I liked this a lot. Really catchy melodic indie with a raw edge and good lyrics. They can play well and the production isn't bad either."
Jake Sims-Fielding, Capdown
"The Indigos played the Broccoli Christmas party December 2006, under the recommendation of Jag, and they so didn’t disappoint with their upfront in your face sound. It’s so good to see quality bands travel down South, play a blinding set and love every minute of it."
Broccoli Music
"...tight and full of energy and they seem to be able to cut it live too..."
The Promoter, Popworld Promotes
"I feel like I’ve been woken up in the middle of the night when The Indigos start playing. “Why can’t you be yourself?” screams leader Jimmy, immediately arresting my thoughts and holding them captive for the rest of the set. Someone with something to say, oh what a relief! I make a mental note to buy their records and tell my friends to do the same. Sounding part contemporary indie aka Maximo Park/Futureheads and part Nirvana, The Indigos are a cut above."
