Brothers and Sisters! It’s time again for our semi-annual independent music special!
The following bands are the independent artists that we shared with you all in the second half of 2017, and to celebrate these artists we put together a music special with no talking (just an intro) and a play list that will hopefully turn you on to some new talent, or remind you of a band that we played last year that you perhaps forgot to check out.
The bands are played in blocks of 4 (except the last) and are preceded with a number. If’n a band trips your trigger, you’ll find the blocks and artists – in order of being played – below. Show these bands some love, won’t you?
Here we go!: KEY: Block/Previous Episode number Artist name Country represented Song being played Link
In this episode we’ll discuss current events, what’s Nate been listening to, independent music from Hopeless Youth and Binary Creed, we’ll discuss some tidbits from the music-related podcast community in the Podcast Roundup, and we’ll wrap the show giving away our awards to the ‘Big 4’ for their latest releases based on our Track By Track breakdowns of each album as well as revisiting a previously played independent artist for the final song as we ask ‘Where Are They Now?!’
