The Sound of Cincinnati Indie

Cincinnati's indie music scene is full of variety, and this playlist brings together some of the city's standout artists. From the catchy alternative rock of HARBOUR's "Float" to the dreamy synth-pop of Moonbeau's "Like the Night," there's a mix of sounds that showcase the city's diverse talent. Bands like Sylmar and The Harlequins bring in a more offbeat, experimental edge, while acts like Motherfolk and Young Heirlooms add folk-inspired elements to the blend.

There’s garage rock energy from Automagik, introspective indie from Soften, and even some heavier moments from bands like Friday Giants. Foxy Shazam’s "Killin’ It" adds theatrical flair, while Wussy’s "Teenage Wasteland" keeps things grounded in raw storytelling. With everything from mathy instrumentals (Us, Today) to funk-infused jams (Ernie Johnson From Detroit), this collection gives a well-rounded taste of Cincinnati’s indie music identity.
