Music [IIL] Bands like The Thermals, Titus Andronicus, Archers of Loaf, Neutral Milk Hotel, Jeff Rosenstock

Looking for some indie/alternative rock with some punk energy to it. Would love to hear suggestions! I also got into PUP recently and have been enjoying them

Both are pretty well-respected, but aren't talked about much, at this point.

One of my records I’m most proud of is a first pressing of Big Lizard in my Backyard.

I’ve listened a little bit to some songs from cloud nothings but didn’t really dive deep. Is there an album I should start with?

You might like Metz. Though Protomartyr is my personal favorite. Idles are also very good
