Independent Rock
Independent Rock features modern rock, alternative rock, and hard rock from artists with songs worth hearing. We welcome independent musicians, including artists who use AI to create or perform their music. Every submission is judged on how well the song fits the playlist.
Submission Guidelines
Submit one Spotify track link, not an album or artist profile link.
Rock, alternative rock, and hard rock are the focus.
Human-made and AI-generated music are both welcome. Artists should accurately describe their creative process if asked.
Submissions and playlist consideration are free.
Every track is reviewed by the curator. Submission does not guarantee placement, feedback, a review date, streams, or a minimum time on the playlist.
Artists must have the rights to submit their tracks.
