We’re trying something new. I’m not giving you the back story on these bands anymore, because frankly, who gives a shit. If their sound is awesome, that’s all that fucking matters.

The algorithm’s a liar. Good bands aren’t hiding, they’re just busy making the kind of music you don’t stumble into on autopilot. So we went digging again.

Five bands. All under 5,000 monthly listeners. No algorithms. No press rollouts. Just the kind of music you find when you’re actually looking.
