[Indie/Alternative] Recommend a band with <500 followers

Spotify has a lot of great, undiscovered indie and alternative artists. Some of them just need a push into the spotlight. 

 

In this thread you can recommend your favorite indie artists with less than 500 Spotify followers. 

 

Adult Mom has just 398 followers, but they're a promising all-female indie band from New York. I'd recommend for fans of Rilo KileyFrankie Cosmos. 

 

Label: Tiny Engines

Here is one under 500 artist that I love, called FFANGS.  It's great 80's inspired synth music and they even have a down-tempo cover of the Tears For Fears classic, Women In Chains.  I'm a big fan of this up and coming artist.

What's a Spotify Rock Star, and how do I become one?

My Oh My! is a group coming to you from Kansas City. They are a very unique group with two outstanding albums and amazing live shows here in Kansas City. Gotta Get A Wife (If You Want To Get To Heaven) is one of my personal favorite songs. They are a true gem. They are an Indie group that does have a southern twang. They are worth a listen!

So a few weeks ago while listening to the new releases, I was at my school's coffee shop waiting for my order when suddenly this really happy sounding song comes on that honestly made me want to dance. I looked at my phone and quickly added "No Matter What" to my playlist. This LA based band only has 134 followers on Spotify and 27 on Twitter. Surprisingly. I think they will become more successful over time because they give off really good summer vibes and are nice to listen to with the windows down.

Billion Dollar Pill is the debut release from Chip Gibbons.  His songs cut pretty close to the bone.  Worth a listen.  Don't really know who he sounds like.  Thoughts?

I don't know if this band has been shared before in this thread. It's an Australian band called Temper Trap. Their music sounds like U2 and Coldplay.

Hey everyone!

I play in a band called Whale Bones. We're an Indie/Alternative band from Indiana that released an EP a few years ago. I'm currently recording our new record, but I'd love to see some growth in our listeners before I release it! I hope you enjoy 🙂

Tiny Engies was my thing back then, I have a band that graduated from my school 5 or so years ago, they made band together called Good Times or 'The Hand Me Downs', they're pretty indie-ish. The thing is spotify has it confused with a European band, but the first album from Good Times would be pretty nice, really really underground. Try em' out if you wanted!

May we recommend a Los Angeles band called "Red Red Lips." They're hip and edgy! Give their single "What You Do" a listen... For fans of The Highfields, and Kyko.

Loving this thread!
Can we post single artists under 50p followers, or is it bands only?
