Music services/resources/applications for independent (indie) music fans.
General independent music discovery.
If you like independent music or have thought about giving it a chance but find it difficult to discover independent artists and bands on overpopulated music services like
iTunes,
Spotify, Tidal, Google Play Music,
Amazon,
CD Baby,
Bandcamp,
Apple Music,
Soundcloud,
YouTube and other popular
music discovery applications, Skunk Radio Live will change all that.
With the vast number of new and upcoming artists, bands and producers out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed and sometimes even frustrated when it comes to
discovering new music and new musical acts to follow. We know this, and that's why we've created Skunk Radio Live.
Skunk Radio Live is a music discovery initiative dedicated to the world of indie music. Whereas most top indie music discovery channels, blogs and apps dish out massive amounts of a mixture of mainstream and independent music, good, bad and everything in-between daily and without any strategy in place to guide avid music discoverers of their exploratory musical adventures and escapades, Skunk Radio Live is focused on delivering the very best of selected new independent music and artists curated by its listeners and fans themselves (see the Skunk Radio Live Auditions).
We don't want discovering new music to be a hassle. We don't want you breaking a sweat just to find something good to drown your ears in, and we most certainly don't want to bombard you with Ads (unless we don't have a say in the matter).
Skunk Radio Live is all about finding good music and discovering what music fans really want. Being a combination of avid music discoverers and fans, production and music geeks, critics and analysts, music journalists, music producers, artists, creative professionals and independent music industry professionals, SRL's global independent music network is all about the music and only the music - there are no business men here deciding what music fans want to hear or bossy record label CEOs dictating what music artists release to fans.
For a generic music discovery experience where you'll get a potent mixture of top new music releases, music videos, music events and tour announcements, news, reviews and other interesting independent music related content, simply navigate to the homepage and follow your heart where ever it takes you. We promise it will be good every single time.

Promoted independent music.
We hate Ads very much and we know you hate them too, that's why our Ads sections are completely separate from our organic sections. Unlike most free music websites and subscription based music sites offering free trials, we know annoying Ads and good music don't go together. We also hate to disrupt the balance in people's lives by showing them things they aren't looking for, whether or not they may have expressed interest in them in the past and we don't like that to happen to us either, that's why we'll never try to show you the new Jordans, the new Playstation or even iPads or beats headphones when all you were trying to do was
discover new songs to listen to free. Our advertisement sections also only
promote independent music and new artists, and we have several dedicated promoted music sections which by themselves also make a very useful set of standalone independent music discovery tools - The Indie Music Board, The Indie Music Video Board, The Indie Artist Directory, The Indie Music YouTube Directory and The Indie Music Box Office are some of out
top promoted music sections. Check them out to
discover even more independent artists and explore the world of undiscovered music even further.
