Best Indie Songs 2016

Hey folks, it's time to start a new thread for all the best indie music discoveries you make in 2016.

 

If you're wondering how we define indie around here, the answer is however you define indie. 

 

"Indie" can mean:

  • Bands that are on independent labels
  • Used to be on independent labels
  • Sound like bands that are on indepedendent labels 
  • The list goes on...
So we're asking you to submit your favorite Indie songs of 2016 by your own definition of indie. 

 

 

You can follow our playlist of all songs in this thread here:

Also we wanted to give a shout out to @TommyWesters own "Best New Indie 2016" playlist:
