Why is this artist indie?

PB&J no longer stands for Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Peter, Bjorn and John is the genius behind that ever-so popular Whistling song, 'Young Folks', which made rounds as a soundtrack to episodes in popular shows like Arrested Development and Gossip Girl as well as TV commercials.
