Independent Music Weekly Vol. 30 – A Landmark Issue Celebrating Global Independent Music
The latest issue of Independent Music Weekly arrives with the electricity of a scene in motion — a curated, global cross-section of independent music that cuts across genres, cultures, and creative identities. As the world’s first weekly editorial press platform dedicated solely to independent music, this issue continues the mission: to amplify unfiltered voices, tell true stories, and spotlight artists shaping tomorrow’s sound.
A Cinematic Return: Steel & Velvet – People Just Float
This week’s cover story follows French folk-rock ensemble Steel & Velvet, whose dual project People Just Float merges a six-track acoustic EP with a narrative short film. Their work captures a rare intimacy — a project that sits at the intersection of folk tradition, visual storytelling, and emotional truth. Full feature on page 8.
Genre Drops: Where New Voices Redefine Their Fields
This issue brings three powerhouse genre sections:
Dance & Pop: Charlotte Clarke’s “Bound to You” and Kate Pending’s collaborative EP Two Words push the genre into cinematic and reflective territory.
Acoustic, Indie Rock & Guitar Riffs: Pentrilox return with the haunting “Wasteland Whispers,” while Kevin Driscoll delivers raw emotional clarity with “Last Ditch Effort.”
Hip-Hop, Rap & R&B: ALPY and JDro glide into mood-driven R&B with “What’s Up?”, while Al Sharp and Crusada resurrect ’90s boom-bap grit with “93 Wu.”
In-Depth Artist Features Across Borders
From Hanne Leland’s festive reinvention on The Christmas Songs to Plush Sanches’ raw Atlanta-born street-reality project Reporting Live Part. 1, this issue pulls together artistry without borders.
Pennan Brae brings back the swagger of classic rock with Paint.
Filip Dahl returns with “Learning to Breathe Again,” a meditative guitar-led release echoing Pink Floyd and Marillion.
Ronetik elevates melodic house with “Evergreen.”
Audren delivers a philosophical protest anthem with “When Freedom Dies.”
Why This Issue Matters
Every page carries the DNA of independent music — fearless experimentation, emotional honesty, risk-taking, and worldbuilding. From quiet acoustic confessions to cinematic folk, from R&B moodscapes to philosophical protest rock, this edition captures a global movement refusing to dilute its voice.
