hip-hop from days past
I'm constantly discovering kick ass tracks from a few years ago. I don't know if they're really indie groups or mainstream, so i figured i'd throw em here for people to check out.

Just tracks? You're not discovering whole albums? Don't tell me you use limewire.

Seen him live with DJ Format twice and it's utterly incredible when you see it in the flesh.
When they do Vicious Battle Raps live he paraphrases all the lyrics but still makes it fit, mindblowing.
youtube page Is also good but I reccon that he works best with Format.

Of course, a good guitarist sounds good on any instrument, but I guess i just want to have a perfect sounding instrument, pedals and amp so I can hear myself and think "hmm, this is exactly how much I suck".

I absolutely love abdominal. Walk left stand right is amazing, as is The Hit Song.
He's one of the few hip hop artists except Jurassic 5, who I've bothered to see live and haven't been disappointed. I'd guess being from Bristol you've seen him and Format before? They used to play there a fair bit if I remeber rightly.

Doh! If you get the chance do see them live. They throw about 100 DJ Format frisbees out during the final song of the show (One of which is sat on my desk), it's utter carnage.
If I can find it I've got a disk of freestyles somewhere I got from Abdominal after one of the shows that I can upload if anyone wants it.
