I manage them and I have no shame!
But I wouldn't manage them if they weren't really, really good.

you know, that one indie band from like 2010-ish that p4k indie types really liked
i haven't even listened to them in over a decade, i just have mad respect for them for putting out two albums over the string of like three years and then just taking to social media to write a short note that they'd finished as a band forever because they felt like they'd accomplished everything they'd set out to. which is something countless other artists will just never realize... well past the point at which they should
(i'm sure girls ~not the band~ are pretty cool too though

A few hours of scrolling on here today has done more for my taste in music than years and years of Sp*tify algorithms. Highly recommend turning to the PI.FYI community for something fresh.
That in mind here's a couple of bands I really like that I have had to introduce to like 90% of people, I've tried to make sure all of these artists have under 100k monthly listeners on Spoofy:
- Blue Deputy: indie dream rock who will absolutely become my favourite band the moment they release their first EP (they keep promising it's in the works!!!!) favourite tracks: Cypress, New Jersey, Lucky Star (that one's not on streaming yet!)
- Lesbian Bed Death: Gothic Hard Rock/Metal that packs a hell of a punch, they're so much fun. Favourite tracks: Maria, Your Love Makes Everything Worse, She Loves Lilith
- Sean Solomon: He has that one song on tiktok where he plays along to VCR recording of the music video (that I believe he drew and animated himself)/backing track. That one song is Car Crash and it's just quite lovely, really
- The Man the Myth the Meatslab: more acoustic midwest emo I found on TikTok lmao. effortlessly, i feel everything is eerily similar to Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl but imo not in a way that feels like a ripoff, it actually elevates the song for me. It's like a spin on a similar theme from a different perspective
- Chloe Slater: working class, indie, feminist indie rock anthems for disenfranchised people who just wanna dance. favourite songs: Fig Tree, Sucker, Thomas Street
- Life to Experience: this is kind of a memey one bc their album The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads appears on a tonne of people's cringe/bad album covers lists, but guys. Please. I promise you it is genuinely one of the best Prog Rock albums of all time it rules so hard. Please try it. this is not an original take but it IS a correct take.
- Wax Fang: this band had one song appear in an episode of American Dad of all places, and whoever put it there should have immediately been given a raise and creative control of the entire show. The song they used is called Majestic, and the album it's from, La La Land, is an incredible rock album.

An artist I always like to recommend is Molly Drake (Nick Drake's mom) who wrote some incredibly unique music, all home recorded in the 60s. I like to say it sounds like Mary Poppins on anti-depressants.
Then maybe Tucker Zimmerman? Singersongeriter active since the 60s who just released a new album made in collaboration with Big Thief.
If you wanna try recent things, I find Allegra Krieger and Naima Bock two awesome singer songwriters

Ugh, a little ~good vibes only~ , I know, and I realize this is, like, the vegetables of gossip, but I'm so into gushing about how much I love someone to someone else when they aren't there. That's positive energy, baby! RIDE THAT WAVE.
