Indie Music Discovery

Indie started as a UK and US independent-label ethic in the 1980s — Rough Trade, 4AD, Sub Pop, Creation, K — and turned into an entire aesthetic: jangly guitars, lo-fi production, DIY artwork, sincerity over polish. From The Smiths, Pavement and Pixies through Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend and Phoebe Bridgers, indie has been a refuge for songwriters outside the major-label system. PUNKSTAR.ai surfaces the bands writing the next chapter.
