indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that most notably exists in the independent underground music scene. It primarily refers to rock musicians that are or were unsigned, or have signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels. Genres or sub genres often associated with indie rock include lo-fi, post-rock, sadcore, C86, and math rock, to list but a few; other related (and sometimes overlapping) categories include shoe gazing and indie pop. Indie rock artists place a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, releasing albums on independent record labels (sometimes their own) and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, and airplay on independent or college radio stations for promotion. Some end up moving to major labels, often on favourable terms won by their prior independent success.

Do you love oldies, well I do! Here's a fresh approach to music, with an old feel! Desperately in need for some new music to jam to? I know, I am. It seems like there are so many bands and singers who sound alike these days. Granted I understand you go with the sound that seems to work, but how fantastic would it be to hear something new ... "A block of yellow is it!"

“One listen and you'll be singing it for the rest of the day, absolutely glorious. A Block Of Yellow's mix of sugary pop melodies and catchy guitar riffs are a pleasure to behold.” - Manacast.com 

Hulle sing Ou Ryperd en Hasie met oorgawe. Ook Die Stem kry sy beurt. Ou liedjies wat 'n vorige generasie saam met hul Voortrekker-uniforms weggepak het, word nou sonder skroom deur hul kinders in die openbaar gesing.

Praat jy taaldebat, trek die meeste jong mense net die skouers op. Jammer om die neo-stryders en etiket-soekers teleur te stel, maar hulle reken dis dinge vir die ou mense daardie.

Jonges wil áltyd uitgelos word, maar as dit by Afrikaans kom, des te meer. Want hulle is nie bekommerd oor Afrikaans nie. Solank hulle hom kan gebruik, maar dan soos hulle wil.

Dit gaan nie hier soseer oor Engelse woorde waarmee Afrikaans deurspek is nie as oor die verskynsel dat jong Afrikaanssprekendes deesdae gemaklik met hul taal is. Hulle het oënskynlik nie die politieke taalbagasie van vorige generasies nie. Daarom is hulle heel gemaklik om Afrikaans in alle vorme en gedaantes te gebruik.
