Music that isn't soupy ballads?

Hiya

I know the chinese pop charts are half in love with soupy ballads (usually about doomed love), and half in love with bouncy korean/jpop/something similar.

Can anyone recommend any more "indie" style chinese music? Or am I hoping in vain? The only recommendations I've been sent have been either Fay Wong, Jay Choi, or some awful hair rockers right out of 1986 :)
