I was expecting IndieBM to be indie black metal, which is also a thing now.
I knew about Tense before anyone considered them an indie band, I think. Tried ordering one of their discs by sending them cash in the mail (it felt like too little money to bother converting to a money order), which they claimed to have never received. Kinda lost interest in them by that point anyway, so I just let it go. If I ever see a Tense record in a store, I might pick it up, but I guess if they're "indie" now that'll never happen. :P
Didn't Tense get their big break by opening for Nitzer Ebb? Do people in the indie scene listen to Nitzer Ebb now?
