The Skunk Radio Live Independent Music Awards recognises, promotes and supports the efforts of Independent Musicians and Bands around the world, and is a great way for fans to discover new music and shine the spotlight on their favorite new acts so others can discover them too.
2018 MUSIC AWARDS.
It's that time once again when we take time out to explore and celebrate the top independent (indie) music releases of the year. SRL's Independent Music Awards highlights top new records by fully independent, unsigned, upcoming, underground and emerging artists/bands/producers, including some old classics that are still gaining a lot of traction. The awards also explores the works of self-distributing, DIY and artist/band-owned indie record labels. The SRL Music Awards takes music fans back to music's roots genre by genre so they can hear and experience what their favorite genres of music sound like in their most intrinsic forms while also highlights top artists, bands, songwriters and producers to watch as they progress in their careers. All the focus is on the music and NOTHING ELSE - we don't take into account how good they look in skinny jeans, how much they've donated to charity, what they think about the slave trade, how many women/men they've had, how long/luxurious their hair is, what drugs they promote, how expensive their soundfonts, samples or musical instruments are, how much their studio equipment costs, or what cars they drive - this is not the X-Factor, MTV, BET, or mainstream music in general, you can just turn on the television or radio for that - This is music discovery aimed at discovering and re-discovering the very essence of music and genres.
Voting and nominations for the Skunk Radio Live Independent Music Awards, 2018 begins at 14:05 GMT (just after launch, to make sure everyone's head is in the right place) on Monday, 14th of May, 2018.

It's been emotional. So much amazing music discovered. New artists and bands, and other independent (indie) musicians around the world are surfacing daily at an all-time high. Great work Skunk Radio Live Hunters! You are making The Joint Masters very happy...

Deadline extended.
Alas, time went by so fast. So much new music is still being announced, so many new indie artists and bands are making their debuts or preparing to do so soon, and so many new singles/mixtapes/albums in the works are nearing completion. Being avid music discoverers we'd hate to miss out on any of that. Coupled with popular demand by The Skunk Radio Live Hunters (SRL fans around the world), The Skunk Radio Live Joint Masters (our in-house A&Rs/talent scouts) and new music fans just discovering the platform, we felt there were reasonable grounds to justify extending the deadline for voting and nominations until December 30 at 11:59 GMT.
We've had a lot of new music fans join us over the past few weeks. If you are a new fan, we'd like to officially welcome you as a new Skunk Radio Live Hunter and we look forward to exploring the world of independent music and entertainment with you.

2017 was another amazing year for indie music discovery. With the help of dedicated independent music fans and entertainment industry professionals, music critics, and even artists and bands around the world, we've had the privilege and pleasure of once again exploring, analysing, compiling and discovering some of the top new and classic indie songs, albums and music videos that were released recently or that recently gained popularity, and it's been an amazing experience.
