Indie Music for a Lockdown Life, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Indie Folk
"Pages" is an energetic indie-rock song about the complications of love, told through a clever book metaphor: someone flipping through you like pages, reading between the lines, leaving you "just a book on a shelf". Jangly electric guitars, a driving rhythm section and an epic, electric build carry a playful, witty vocal hook. Ideal for youth and college series, romantic comedy, fashion and lifestyle content, road trips and upbeat brand campaigns. An instrumental version is also available.
"Flaws" is the dynamic debut single from Dallas, Texas garage-pop duo Overshare. Fuzzy, catchy guitars, a bouncy rhythm section and quirky, hyper-energetic vocals tell a self-aware story of anxiety, misspoken words and half-designed flaws "leaking right out of my mouth". Carefree on the surface but introspective underneath, it is ideal for teen and college series, quirky comedy, skate and streetwear content, indie games and youth-oriented advertising.
"Wait for the Sun" is an anthemic, high-energy indie-rock track from Italian band Tunnel FX. Fast, driving drums, shimmering and crunchy guitars and airy, expansive textures build a hopeful sense of waiting for brighter days, rising to a big, singalong chorus. Ideal for sports and action montages, travel and adventure content, trailers, youth series and uplifting brand campaigns.
"Do You Wonder" is a warm, upbeat indie song by Gertie Fox about falling for a girl who seems to live in a better, more glamorous world. Breezy guitars, a relaxed groove and a wistful, slightly ironic male vocal paint a playful portrait of daydreaming, jealousy and hopeless crushes ("you jive turkey, don't let her walk through the door"). Ideal for romantic comedy, coming-of-age scenes, city-life montages, lifestyle and fashion content and feel-good advertising.
"Until Another Day" is a heartfelt, bluesy rock'n'roll anthem written as a tribute to a close friend from the songwriter's Regimental skydiving team, killed in Afghanistan in January 2008. Heavy 90s-style guitars and a driving band capture the unpredictable nature of life and the things we take for granted, turning grief into a hopeful promise to meet again in Valhalla. Ideal for military and remembrance documentaries, sports and extreme-sports films, emotional tributes, road movies and brand stories about friendship and courage. An instrumental version is also available.
"In My Soul" is an intense, Muse-inspired alternative indie-rock track by Blurred Colours. Fast, driving drums, bright, airy guitars and a soaring male vocal tell a passionate story of desire and hidden darkness – a "dark side that spits fire and hides in a cave" – while hoping the stars align. Energetic yet emotional, it suits road trips and summer adventures, sports and action montages, youth drama, fashion films and alternative brand campaigns.
"Modern Love" is a catchy, driving indie-rock song by Gertie Fox that philosophises about love in today's world: a strange, made-up word for a feeling that seems absurd, yet means everything. Jangly, sun-kissed guitars, a bouncy rhythm section and a bittersweet, singalong "Oh, modern love" chorus give it an adventurous summer feel. Ideal for romantic comedy, coming-of-age and city-life scenes, road trips, lifestyle and fashion content and feel-good advertising.
"Bug You" is a warm, summery pop-rock love song by Matt Michael about life, love and pushing persistently for what you dream of, no matter what is happening around you. Bright guitars, a bouncy groove and a playful, heartfelt male vocal capture that dizzy, head-in-the-clouds feeling of being "sick with your bug" and happy to keep bugging the one you love. Encouraging and feel-good, it is ideal for romantic comedy, summer and travel content, wedding films, lifestyle advertising and social media clips. An instrumental version is also available.
"Seven Years" is a tender, chilled indie-pop love song by Dancy about finding the one person you know will never leave your side, even after seven years. Soft guitars, warm keys and a relaxed groove frame an intimate, heartfelt male vocal and a hopeful chorus that asks to dance together "till we're seventy". Ideal for romantic scenes, weddings and anniversaries, couple-focused advertising, lifestyle vlogs and emotional social media edits.
"You Are My Sunshine" is a bittersweet indie-rock song by Italian singer-songwriter Edoardo Destro about the difficult end of a relationship and the personal fight to find your own way. Bright acoustic and electric guitars, a steady driving rhythm and a passionate, introspective male vocal balance melancholy with hope ("you are my sunshine, you are my sunset"). Ideal for emotional storytelling, break-up and coming-of-age scenes, road trips, documentaries and authentic lifestyle content. An instrumental version is also available.
