With the launch of Indie Of The Year 2008 last week I thought it would be a good time to look back at some of the best and most popular bands who competed last year. As you may know, Ohio’s Amplexus took home the honors and have done quite well with their album Deus Ex Machina . But that wasn’t easy for them with fellow Ohioan’s Fisticuff riding close behind.

Anyway, here are a smattering of songs from the top 10 contestants of IOTY 2007. Also, the Indie Of The Year 2007 digital compilation is still available for free download here.

1. Amplexus – The Handbook For The Recently Deceased
2. Experience. Hold. – The Past Is Honest
3. Fisticuff – Walking The Line
4. Hot Little Rocket – Like Killers
5. Dreaming Of Eden – A Life Before Love
6. The Forgotten Archetype – Neverland
7. Excuses For Skipping – Out Of Work Early
