9 Indie Bands To Check Out If You're Sick Of Your Spotify Playlist

I'm sure we all know the first-world problems that come with having every song in the world at your fingertips. Even with the freedom of Apple Music and Spotify, like me, you probably find yourself listening to the same twenty songs on repeat. It can be difficult to listen with an open mind, and it can be frustrating and time-consuming to find new music you like. Well, you're in luck. Below I've compiled a list of several indie bands you've got to check out the next time you're in need of some new tunes ... I promise you won't want to sleep on these bands!

1. Hippo Campus

One of my all-time favorite bands, Hippo Campus is an indie rock band steadily growing more and more popular. I went to one of their concerts last October and was stunned at their talent. Check out "Anxious" and "Violet," two of my favs.

2. Summer Salt

The members of Summer Salt don't have the best reputation, but their music is pretty decent if you can separate the art from the artist. Personally I love their songs "Happy Camper" and "Speaking Sonar," but all of their music is pretty chill.

3. Beach Fossils

From Brooklyn, NY, Beach Fossils is an indie band with a bit of a surf music vibe. With over a million monthly listeners on Spotify, Beach Fossils is a moderately popular band you should totally look into.

4. SadGirl

Another band with a bit of a surf rock vibe, SadGirl is an up-and-coming group with several hits like the groovy "Little Queenie" and "Feel Like Shit."

5. boy pablo

With a hit like "Everytime," who couldn't fall in love with boy pablo? If you're wanting an indie-pop heartthrob, look no further.

6. Peach Pit

Peach Pit is one of my more recent discoveries; it was love at first listen. Apparently a part of the "chewed bubblegum pop" genre, Peach Pit has a fun, unique sound I'm confident you'll love as much as I do. Give their live Audiotree session a listen.

7. Arctic Monkeys

I sure hope you've heard of Arctic Monkeys, but if you haven't, here you go. Arctic Monkeys is an extremely popular alternative indie rock band that's been around for years. You'll either love them or you'll hate them.

8. Rainbow Kitten Surprise

One of the lesser-known bands on this list, Rainbow Kitten Surprise is an indie rock band formed at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Their band name is reason enough to give them a listen. My favorites are "When It Lands" and "Lady Lie."

9. Soccer Mommy

Although she's technically not a band, Soccer Mommy is a must-have in any discussion of indie music. A singer-songwriter from Nashville, Soccer Mommy is a super talented artist with strong indie vibes.

With these 9 indie artists, you'll have a brand-new playlist to blare on repeat until your heart's content. Happy listening!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
