I love the K, S and V pages, particularly. And my son likes to point out ?uestlove and Radiohead to his sisters. Great job, guys.
This is great. I love the illustration style. My kids would love it!
Thom Yorke's lazy eye has never looked so adorable.
This is fantastic! I'd love to see it as a big poster.
My favorite page is Over the Rhine.
Suprised that there's no Death Cab, The Decemberists, or Sufjan Stevens.
The Hungry Wolf!
what....no Nick Cave???? sad.
this is funny, i did something very similar for a design class i was in. After looking through it, there were only four matching letters: H, I, R & V. I figured there would be more.
the Y illustration is brilliant. 1000 gracias
Umm, does paste even know what indie rock is? Seriously, Over the Rhine, Cat Power, and Iron and Wine are not really rock, and there's nothing independent about Radiohead and Pearl Jam. Can we please get some definition here?
Pearl Jam does not, did not, nor ever will rule in any way, shape, or form. Otherwise, loved it!
I love the style. But so hard to define 'Independent' indeed. I would have thought Pearl Jam, who took on Ticketmaster, was easily an undebatable addition... but I'm so old that I would prefer to see Ministry instead of Modest Mouse, and Ocean Blue instead of Over the Rhine... could this be customizable?
cute. well done! love the art styles.
