indie rock cafe


This is the second installment of The Great Unknowns featuring awesome songs from relatively unknown independent, unsigned or largely obscured music artists and bands. Showcasing relatively unknown but talented artists and bands lies at the core of the mission for Indie Rock Cafe.

The songs in this playlist mix series come from all types of sources - music sent by email and post, suggestions from regular readers and discoveries from other blogs and an enormously gigantic hard drive. Over the past year or so, I have been creating a massive playlist called The Great Unknowns. The first set of relatively unknown great indie songs featured Eric Bachman, Bill Ricchini, Aqueduct, Slowdive and American Analog Set.

For those of you who are well informed on indie and alternative music, some of the bands and songs featured in these playlists will not be unknown, but hopefully you'll agree they are great tunes.

"Stanley vs. Hannah" - Alamo Race Track from Black Cat John Brown (2007)

"Night After Night" - The Sounds from Dying To Say This To You (2006)

"Imaginary Girl" - Silver Seas from High Society (2006)

"Sisters at the Sound of Dawn" - Virgins of the Birds from Mixed Choir (2007)

"Crooked Legs" - The Acorn from Glory Hope Mountain (2007)

Stay tuned. More from this series, plus music from the Coachella line-up and much more great new music to tell you about in the pipeline. See a previous installment of The Great Unknowns.
