Indie rock music at Aardvark Records
“Most of the UK’s Generation Z was conceived while their parents were bonking to Indie tunes.” We love this quote from a music industry insider. You can’t get a more intimate relationship between music and people than that. With its roots firmly bound to Punk, we love the energy, the diversity of sounds and subject matter, and the cheekiness in Indie music.Rock Music Videos

Callel
"Young, talented revelations Callel are a four-piece with a refreshing urge to sound that bit different...Callel look to a super future." - The Scotsman
The four members of the indie Rock - Britpop crossover band Callel grew up in the same area of Granton in Edinburgh; they went to the same school, played in the same football team, caught the same nits…but it wasn't until years later that they got together as a band.
They soon found their feet on the live scene and supported Paolo Nutini, Rooney, Asobi Seksu, The Hip Parade, The Bluetones and The Holloways among others. Read the Full Story

Indie rock band Jaff is the Gordon Ramsey recipe from hell. Add one part mad Frenchman to two parts eccentric English dudes and you have the basic ingredients for a quirky,zany, tantric-sex explosion of energy called Jaff.
It would be easy to introduce Jaff as another indie/alternative rock band. This would be a disservice. Their sound is a mashup of power Indie Britpop with a post-modern punk right hook, touch of psychedelia and a hell of an edge. And they were doing it long before bands like Blink 182 made it fashionable.
In a short space the band recorded a mini album with tracks regularly played on independent French, Swiss and German radio stations... and BBC Radio 1. They have toured with and supported Salad, Baby Chaos, Nada Surf and Addict on their European tours. They are also no strangers to European music festivals, playing FIMU and Aux Portes de L'Enfer (the charmingly named Doors of Hell) amongst others. Jaff has also had two very successful tours of Italy and Poland under its belt. Read the Full Story

April 2001 - the story of the UK indie rock band Little Spitfire begins. Kirsten looks for a hard-hitting drummer for her new band, the criteria: "..a cross between Keith Moon (The Who) and Animal (The Muppets)."
She meets Lee. Little Spitfire had started.
Time went by happily, but they soon realised that something rather skinny with jet black hair was missing, the engine, Stu. With Pat finally joining in early 2005.
Little Spitfire emerged out of raw passion for rock/pop music with attitude.
After meeting producer Kenny Jones a couple of years before, they received a call from him and in November 2004 he locked them away in his north London studio (Alchemy) to make a record. This they did and Honesty was the result. Read the Full Story
