Be it delicate lo-fi 4-track bedroom pop, jangly indie pop, or big guitar hook drenched POWER pop.
But of course, the fact that these guys, despite totally looking the part of long-haired heshers (and, more importantly, sounding like it), are on an indie rock label and used to have indie scene notable Dave Pajo (Slint/Tortoise/Aerial M) holding down the bass position, might cause some metal purists to question their cred.

Pop Punk is a musical style which emerged at the on-set of punk rock in 1974 with America's counterpart of England's Sex Pistols and the Clash - The Ramones (who actually formed before the Sex Pistols or the Clash).
They were perceived as adding little-to-nothing to the pop punk sound that already existed and were criticised from certain quarters that viewed them as pure careerists, apeing a sound that had reached its conclusion years ago, purely to become rich and famous.

It's an interesting fusion of glitch, post rock, indie rock, and guitar-oriented pop with a driving, compelling Krautrock backbone.
The Needle Was Traveling, Tarwater's first album on Morr Records after departing from Kitty-Yo, shows the German group drifting even further from their origins in the European experimental electronic music scene and German "post rock," and aligning themselves with a more straightforward pop sensibility.
In fact, on several of the tracks, the album has the effect of sounding basically like a German experimental electronic band which succumbed, in part, to the influence of Air.

 Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority
Rather than interpreting the rise of Indie 103 as a fatal threat to independence, it's best to view the station's introduction within the context of a larger pop cultural upheaval, a development recalling the last decade's flowering of alternative scenes that climaxed at Lollapalooza '94.
Given Southern California's renown as a crucial testing ground for new radio formats, Indie's success has sprouted imitators in Seattle, Boston and Atlanta, a ripple effect that has forced even Canadian modern-rock stations to expand their play lists beyond the typically rancid rotation of post-grunge, pop-punk and nu-metal.
For indie heads, the corporate adoption of groups like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs might be a scary proposition, especially considering that Indie 103 (indie1031.fm/main.html) is closely allied with Clear Channel Communications, America's notoriously monopolistic entertainment conglomerate.
