Why is this artist indie?

You've never heard of the band 'The Boy Least Likely To'...or have you? Their song 'Be Gentle to Me' has been everywhere: from commercials (ING, dfs), tv shows (Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill) and in true indie fashion, 2007 promo spots for the movie Juno. Why Indie? Despite the prevalance of their music in pop culture, it seems only the indie elite know the answer to the million dollar question - who sang that cute song in that I heard on TV last night?
