STAFF EDIT: New thread for 'Best Indie 2016' here. Happy discovering.
- This thread is dedicated to the best of indie music 2015. We who love to discover and share great music from the indie scene will keep this going until the end of the year. Join us!
With your help I will keep two list continuously updated - Best New Indie 2015 and Top 100 Indie Songs 2015 (I'll share this list when 100 great indie songs have been released 2015). And I'd love to see your own indie lists of 2015 shared on this thread.
If you find or know of a song that you feel should be on these lists, please share it with me here.
- Maybe you have discovered a song that you feel noone else've done?
- Or maybe there's a song that you think we may have overlooked?
- Or maybe you just have found a song that you love and want to share!

Hello! Must say thay I'm really happy that you all have kept this thread alive while I've been away. Thank you for all the great music tips!
I have kept my lists Best New Indie 2015 and Top 100 Indie Songs 2015 up to date and I hope that you who follow them have enjoyed all the new music added. I have looked through the thread and will add all the great songs I missed out on. Thank you again! I'm back at last and it feels good 🙂
And now we're in november already. Time to get down on the Top 100 Indie Songs 2015!
Please let me know:
- If there's any song you really, really think I should add to this list.
- And if you can, which song you feel it should replace.
- If there's a song on the list you actually don't enjoy.
I will ponder and consider all suggestions. This will help me refine the list to make it the best it can be.
New Swedish band called Brödet (in English the bread). New Ep with big potential.

Brand new indie-rock/The Strokes-esque single with a haunting outro, "Punctuated Love" by Altadore: https://open.spotify.com/track/4SmeitMC39blSmh1nWfFdE
Any thread called Best of indie music 2015 should includ at least one song from each of the following two bands:
July Talk - the fastest rising fairly new Canadian indie rock band, who recently completed a major US tour.
Two of their songs were featured on the SiFi channel's show Killjoys, near the middle of the debut season (renewed for 2nd season)
Hinds Band (formerly Deer) - a new and all very young girl band based Madrid, Spain (they write/sing in English) who have a very amazing, fresh, raw, unique, time spannimg soumd that casts a spell which makes being alive seem very good, like when you stumble upon a patch of fluorescent glowing mushrooms while walking in a deep, dense, dark, and dreary midnight forest of musical boredom. Hinds also recently completed their first US tour and are touring Europe now.
-Armadillo
I love Hinds!
Last year one of their songs got in my top 100 🙂
Just compiled my Top 50 Indie Albums 2015 (two songs per album), enjoy!
Wanted to share in my opinion best songs of 2015. Cheers!

Great list! Thank you! 😄
I'll take a stab at this. here is a playlist i have been accumulating over the year of some of my favorite indie rock tunes of 2015. I spend most of my time on my Synthpop playlists so I'm sure i have missed out on plenty of great indie tracks. I'll be sure to comb through all of the suggestions/songs in this thread to learn some new tunes!

New indie music that's great:
Totonto, CA band: July Talk new album → Touch
I like Lola + Joseph and several other songs, but the title song became a totally MORPHED studio version of a song that they had only played live for over two years →"**bleep** Song" and this now recorded in studio version isn't the same anymore, or as good. You tell me? Here is the live version at (15:00 min.) of "**bleep** Song" → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnqNTedD9VQ
