The Sound of Milwaukee Indie

"The Sound of Milwaukee Indie" brings together a collection of tracks that showcase the city's diverse and evolving independent music scene. From the dreamy synth-pop of GGOOLLDD’s "Undercovers" to the raw energy of Whips' "Goldmine" and the folk-inflected storytelling of Trapper Schoepp’s "Settlin' or Sleepin' Around," this playlist highlights the depth of Milwaukee’s musical landscape. There’s a mix of garage-rock grit, atmospheric indie, and electronic-tinged pop, with artists like Abby Jeanne, Immortal Girlfriend, and Telethon adding their unique voices to the mix.

Whether it’s the jangly nostalgia of The Promise Ring’s "Red & Blue Jeans," the anthemic rock of Tigernite’s "Empire," or the moody folk of Dead Horses’ "Turntable," each track offers a snapshot of the city’s thriving underground scene. From long-established acts to fresh voices, the playlist captures the spirit of Milwaukee’s indie sound—eclectic, energetic, and always evolving.
