Why is this artist indie?
An unabashedly twee band, their song "International Tweexcore Underground" might as well be the flagship song for all twee fans of the world. They cite their influences to Sarah Records artists and recorded a recent cover of Heavenly's "C is the Heavenly Option". Los Campesinos broke through the international scene when they signed up under the Arts and Crafts label - home to Canadian indie giants Broken Social Scene and Stars.
