Indie rock is a genre of rock music that originated in the United States and United Kingdom in the 1970s. Originally used to describe independent record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with alternative rock. As grunge and punk revival bands in the US and Britpop bands in the UK broke into the mainstream in the 1990s, it came to be used to identify those acts that retained an outsider and underground perspective. In the 2000s, as a result of changes in the music industry and the growing importance of the Internet, some indie rock acts began to enjoy commercial success, leading to questions about its meaningfulness as a term.

Propellers are an indie rock/synthpop band from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. The band members are Max Davenport, Archie Davenport (guitar), Charlie Simpson, Jimmy Goodwin (keyboards) and Will Wilkinson (drums).
