The Sound of Gainesville Indie

Gainesville has long been a hub for indie music, and this playlist pulls together a solid mix of the city's diverse independent sounds. From the horn-infused soul of The Savants of Soul to the emo-tinged punk of Dikembe, there's a little bit of everything. Singer-songwriters like Matthew Fowler and Kyle Keller bring introspective acoustic storytelling, while bands like The Hails and Hundred Waters offer smooth, atmospheric indie rock.

The Gainesville scene is also known for its punk roots, represented here by Against Me!, Radon, and The Draft, alongside newer acts like You Vandal and Sunshine State. If you're into more experimental or genre-blending sounds, tracks from bands like Euglossine, Levek, and Pearl & The Oysters add a unique touch. Whether you're looking for something mellow, energetic, or somewhere in between, this playlist showcases a broad spectrum of the indie talent that has come out of Gainesville.
