Welcome to Obscure Music

Linked Communities

This is a community dedicated to sharing lesser-known music. Please try to submit and share lesser known music. I reserve the right to remove any music I feel is not obscure enough. Please don't take it personally if I do. It's just some people are sometimes not aware that a band or a project is bigger than they think.

Please try to format roughly like this:

Artist Name - Song Title [Genre] [Year]

Obscurity Guidelines:

Any artist with more than one song with over 2 million listens or views on Spotify or Youtube is not considered obscure.
Any sideproject of a popular band or musician or celebrity.
Covers and Remixes of popular songs that violate rule (1) on their own. Covers of popular songs tend to attract more attention than the band might.

Please do not post any artist more than once a week.

Forgive me if this isn't allowed, but where do people find their obscure music?

I use:

this instance
local small festivals
in Spotify they link similar artists. So, if I like the feel of one small artist I can find more like them
occasionally when I search for a specific song they will list not that song, but the title is interesting enough for me to try it

How do others find their obscure music?

I’ll browse venue’s email blasts for bands & check them out. In my area 250-500 capacity venues are the sweet spot imo for up & coming.

Another is if you dig a band, see who put out some of their records and check out some other bands in that catalog. Smaller ones tend to work with bands that share a vibe or whatnot
