The Sound of Nottingham Indie

“The Sound of Nottingham Indie” is a deep dive into the diverse and ever-changing indie music scene of Nottingham. Stacked with sharp post-punk grooves from bands like Do Nothing and The Chase, the playlist leans into gritty realism while still leaving room for dreamy textures from acts like Eyre Llew and Wasting My Young Years-era London Grammar. It pulls together staple names like Jake Bugg and Sleaford Mods with newer voices like Kelsey and the Embers and 94 Gunships, giving a cross-section of the city’s past, present, and everything in between.

Whether it's the jangly grit of The Mocking Jays’ “Kiss My Neck” or the spaced-out calm of Re Teu’s “For The Soul,” this playlist showcases Nottingham’s knack for mixing energy with emotional edge. There’s punk confidence, synthy dreamscapes, and indie-pop swagger all sitting side by side. The result is a loose but intentional snapshot of a scene that’s as DIY as it is diverse—built from pub gigs, uni venues, and late-night studio sessions that fuel a truly local sound.
