After the sad death of John Peel, the BBC’s legendary DJ who broke new bands on his show for generations, I suddenly became aware I’ve got a little out of touch (to say the least) with current and new quality music.
I’ve been re-living the spirit of discovering new bands by first listening to old recordings of John Peels show https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/johnpeel/index.shtml and then following various fan links to great new music resources.
This Thread is devoted to new quaility unsigned, small label or underground acts.
If you don’t know any here are a few sites where you can listen/download new music. Many of the sites can be searched by genera so you can pick your flavour of music and choos an unknown face to listen to by random like I’ve been doing all day.
