New Project: Indie, Keep Scrolling

Yes I know. It's been a while since my last post. Not because I had the best night ever and then I abandoned my blog (read my previous post!). It's because the workload that I have. The workload is pretty the same as IB, however now I get to do the things I love! If you guys are wondering, I'm taking Animation and Interactive Media for uni and I'm in the first year.

Anyways, another reason to the lack of posting is that I'm doing a new project with a friend. It's called Indie, Keep Scrolling. Click here to check out what it is!


The aim of this blog is basically to promote inspiring indie artists from all over the world. It could be small artists or big artists. Doesn't matter, as long as they have inspiring, good-quality music. Well, most of the time we chose artists based on our tastes though.

I wasn't a fan of indie music before. I am a fan of mainstream-pop and some UK boybands (Yes, One Direction is one of them. Now, shut up). I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift. I love Maroon 5, The Script, Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz and more. And how come I suddenly like indie?

Well, the story starts from when I went to Foster The People gig back in January. The opening act was Last Dinosaurs (read my previous post). I fell in love with this band. From then on, I started googling Australian indie bands. I found out that there are heaps of great indie artists in Australia! I discovered pretty big Australian bands like San Cisco, Tim & Jean, Bluejuice, etc. I also discovered fresh, new bands which are really good too, like Slow Down Honey, Cub Scouts, Project Puzzles, etc.

Then my friend suddenly came up with the idea of creating a blog that interviews indie artists from all over the world! How brilliant is that? At first, she told me to do it by myself. However, I felt like, it was her idea, I feel bad if I'm doing it by my own. It's like as if I stole her idea. So we're doing it together now.

We currently only do basic interviews and reviews. Our blog is pretty simple too. But personally, I wanna build up this blog even more. Mostly, we feature bands that aren't that big (As in Foster The People/Phoenix/Two Door Cinema Club-big) at the moment. It's hard to get to big bands, because they almost always busy. Plus, who are we anyways. But yeah, I hope this project can be massive.

Please do check out the blog. If you like to discover new, fresh music, I bet you'd like our blog (hopefully)! :) And if you do like it, please 'Like' our FB page too. Thanks for the love! <3
