A good Saturday listening route begins with Brennan Wedl and Westside Cowboy, moves into Wild Pink and Time Spent Driving, then takes a left turn through GB's art rock, Cloud Canyons' psychedelic sprawl and Siavash Amini's experimental composition.
Follow those with Heather The Jerk for power pop, Kalte Steine for darkwave, ATRIP for electronic music and Korpse if something genuinely brutal is required.
That range is a much better representation of contemporary independent music than treating indie as a single guitar-based genre.
