If you're into indie music, you probably know how hard it is to find great new indie songs to listen to by simply searching through what's available on popular music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music.

These platforms are great if you want to easily discover music from artists signed to major labels, but you'll probably have better luck looking elsewhere for new music from less popular signed artists or independent artists known for their very obscure pop, rock, folk, hip-hop or electronic sounds (today's "indie" genre).

To solve this problem: indie artists want to share their music and indie music fans want to discover new music. Therefore, a number of sites have been created to bring artists and listeners together.

If you're ready to see what's out there in the world of indie music, check out some of the sites below and listen to their suggested indie tracks. Best of all, they're all free to use for casual listening.
