Forgive me if this isn’t allowed, but where do people find their obscure music?

I use:

  • this instance
  • local small festivals
  • in Spotify they link similar artists. So, if I like the feel of one small artist I can find more like them
  • occasionally when I search for a specific song they will list not that song, but the title is interesting enough for me to try it

How do others find their obscure music?

    I’ll browse venue’s email blasts for bands & check them out. In my area 250-500 capacity venues are the sweet spot imo for up & coming.

    Another is if you dig a band, see who put out some of their records and check out some other bands in that catalog. Smaller ones tend to work with bands that share a vibe or whatnot
