8 Indie Blogs For Finding The Best New Music First

If Lupe Fiasco and HAIM had a baby, it would probably read the Pigeons & Planes daily newsletter as if it were the Bible. This Hip Hop and Indie Rock hybrid blog is definitely one of our go-tos for keeping up to date with both mainstream and under-the-radar music. They do an awesome job at balancing the content in a way where lesser known artists are given equal recognition to more major artists. Fun fact: that's how they got the name Pigeons & Planes - pigeons (up and coming artists) and planes (well known artists) are complete opposites, but they can both fly... we'll leave the rest of this poetic comparison to your imagination. On that note, we HIGHLY suggest you check out their website. [Photo via @jimdeucenyc]
