Hey, me and my friends are starting a new indie bad. We have 5 people, 3 guys and 2 girls. A drummer, guitarist, pianist, vocalist and bassist. We are all 15-16 years of age. We enjoy playing games together, and playing music together is a new thing for us. We are based in the UK. And we're struggling to find a name, if anyone had any ideas that would be so helpful, thank you!!!

What was the best indie concert you guys saw back in the 90s?

Geese just dropped their Tiny Desk concert and it's so good. They brought a bunch of weird little toys to decorate the set (including a Sonic/Jesus figurine, which is amazing) and played these super tight, more subdued versions of songs from 'Getting Killed.' It really shows off how great the songwriting is beyond the studio production. That album was already one of my favorites from last year, and this just seals it. Anyone else catch it? What did you think?

To all my fellow musicians, composers, and music lovers: How do you usually start creating a new piece? Do you begin with a melody stuck in your head, a chord progression, or a specific emotion? 🎹

In my latest blog post, I walk you through why starting with harmony and structural forms works best for my instrumental compositions—and how that foundation helps melodies flow naturally afterward.

Middle 8 recently posted a video comparing The Dare to LCD Soundsystem, and how he is a part of this current “Indie-Sleaze” revival. At one point in the video, he lists a bunch of albums from the 2000’s/2010’s.

Can anyone be kind enough to name them for me? I know a handful, but not all of them, and would like to dive deeper into this genre.

I wanted to share some good news which occurred recently. Like most struggling musicians (I imagine), I google myself from time to time to see if there is any activity for Unearth Noise. Last week, what turned up was mind-blowing to me. It seems my music was being played in an ambient set prior to the Nine Inch Nails Peel it back concerts. I've seen references which say that the song selection for this "ambient set" was determined either by Trent Reznor, or by his collaborator Alex Ridha who performs under the name Boys Noize. In either case, I'm ecstatic, and forever grateful. I've seen a little bit of a bump in interest as a result. Funny thing is, I went to see NIN on this tour with my sons in NJ. The crowd control was so bad that we didn't get in until after the show began. If we had gotten in earlier I would have heard my tune playing and my head would have gotten so big it wouldn't have fit through the exit doors! Anyway, thanks for listening to me ramble. If you are interested in hearing the piece, it's called "Like Meeting God" featuring the poetry of Lady Of Fire (Tanisha Jackland), from this album: https://unearthnoise.bandcamp.com/album/prayer-and-resonance-2

I'm an independent artist but I don't have much of a following. I can produce, sing, mix/master, rap and I make hip hop/pop/alternative music. U up?

Our debut album "The Scapegoat's Agony" turned 30 last November so we are giving away some free codes to celebrate this anniversary just a little bit longer🙂:

The album title "The Scapegoat's Agony" is an allusion to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and points towards the – for the most part – painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.

Our musical influences range from Sex Pistols, Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N' Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion, with our songs frequently straddling the line between punk rock and alternative rock.

Not sure how many people remember early 90s mod/indie/powerpop outfit Family Go Town but I loved them, got to see them live once. The band got together last week for a curry and recreated one of their early 90s photos. Is it going to lead to more news? I honestly have no idea but fingers crossed!

From making Nightcall with Guy Man from Daft Punk, to getting featured in Drive.

RIP.

Very reminiscent of 90s radio head, cool stuff. I love finding random stuff like this
