“The Sound of Lancashire Indie” pulls together a wide selection of tracks that highlight the distinct character of the region’s indie scene. From the quirky punk charm of The Lovely Eggs’ “Don't Look at Me (I Don't Like It)” to the raw anthemic tones of The Illicits’ “Canvas,” this playlist blends modern indie rock grit with touches of psychedelic pop, alt-folk, Britpop, and acoustic introspection. Acts like The Empire Police, BINES, and Rock Music Of Canada keep things driving and guitar-heavy, while artists like Jay Stansfield, James Walsh, and Lauren Jean bring a softer, more melodic side to the mix.
There’s also space here for genre-bending and offbeat tracks—from electro-tinged pop and lo-fi experimentation to traditional folk instrumentals from groups like Drop the Floor and Harp and a Monkey. Whether it’s the shoegaze haze of Leopard Stripes or the playful eccentricity of the Pound Shop Boys, the playlist offers a broad look at what’s been brewing across Lancashire’s varied music communities.
