In 2006, Justin Vernon (an indepndent artist) formed a band known as Bon Iver meaning "Good Winter" from a French phrase. In 2007 they released an album named " For Emma, Forever Ago " debuing it as an independent band in which most of the songs were recorded in a cabin which belonged to Justin's faher, isolated himself for 3 months in Wisconsin, US.
Though there have been many bigger bands in the world like Coldplay, One Direction, Bon Iver compose music with fewer lyrics and more of instrumentals. They are certainly not known to a huge population of this world but when you hear them sing and play their resonator's, you just stay quiet and enjoy those heartbreaking sounds from their guitars.
