they're not on an independant record label, but they're classed as indie as in the new way of describing indie..

Actually, they are on an independent label.

this new 'indie' genre is actually

It isn't new at all actually.

I'll clear up a few things since Im very into the whole indie scene: Indie can be seen as 2 things. One is "independent label", which technically isnt a genre, rather just an idea. Even the most mainstream-sounding artists can be indie if they are on an indie label. However, there are many bands that are considered indie, even though they are on a major label, and that usually means that they used to be on an indie label (bands such as Death Cab For Cutie, The Decemberists, Modest Mouse, etc.) Sometimes it just means they sound like they should be indie (Coldplay) . Because while it isnt a real genre, it does have an odd pattern and style, usually consisting of things that are seen as different or out of the norm.

I know they're on Domino, and I always thought that was an independant label, but then I looked on their official myspace and it says they're a major label.

And let me guess, the rest of your friends love pleasure rooms?

Probably just a mistake. Or they could possibly redistribute outside the UK on a major label as some bands do, but I just looked and couldnt find that they do.
