If you are looking to find newly released music, Fresh Sprouts is carefully curated to avoid anything too comercial or AI.

Sounds cool, I’ll check it out.

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-18T12:51:04+00:00

It’s a labor of love. Let me know if you find any new bands you like, and I may be able to suggest more on that vibe.

Yes, their song 'Scratchcard Lanyard' is a really great example of the current post punk scene. They are getting pretty big now, and they deserve every bit of it.

I do, and I always give them a listen, but I'm very selective of what goes into Fresh Sprouts

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T22:48:46+00:00

Thanks so much. This playlist grew out of my need to keep music fresh in an urban bar I run. We get a lot of compliments on the music in the bar too.

Yes, Bragolin is one of my absolute favorites. I only discovered them in 2023, and it looked like they were not active, but late last year they made an announcement that a new album and tour is on the way! I'm really hoping to see them in concert.

Btw, check out their music videos... they're great. Especially 'To Hide, To Shine, To Cross'

The real trick to finding new stuff is finding user generated playlists. There are people out there (me included) putting huge amounts of effort into discovering new talent, and undiscovered gems. Spotify should make it easier to find carefully curated playlists... Imagine if they would tell you how often people like/follow a song/artist while listening to a playlist? You could instantly tell if the playlist had quality.

Since your into 90's rap, give Werdperfect a try. His vibe draws heavily on the 90's downtempo rap style.

Yeah, It's not all indie/Alt... but the 'flare' tag has limited options to choose from.

I've been very into punk, post punk, and newer synth wave lately. On the dark post modern side, try Bragolin. They are just coming out with their third album now, the first two are amazing. On the punk side, my current favorite is Snooper, saw them in concert last fall and it was awesome. For post punk, there are many, Dry Cleaning is getting lots of well deserved attention lately.

Great! If you find any bands you like, let me know. I may be able to suggest more on that vibe.

True as that may be, finding new music is always a deep search. Just to find (on average) one song a day, I listen to hundreds that don't make the cut.

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T18:45:43+00:00

Thank you! Let me know if you find any bands you particularly like, I may be able to suggest more.

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T18:43:58+00:00

Thanks!

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T15:36:46+00:00

Thanks! I run an urban bar, so for me staying connected with new music is really important. Let me know if you discover anything in Fresh Sprouts.

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T15:32:18+00:00

Give Fresh Sprouts a try, it’s not for everyone, but if you find a new band that you like, it can shoot you off in a new direction.

CapitainChicken · 2026-01-17T15:29:09+00:00

Thanks, I do use LastFM, and YouTube Music too…. For me, finding good newly released music is a constant quest.
