Weekly Mix Tape
A collection of Grade-A musical goodness for the week. Check back frequently to chow down on streaming sonic nibbles that are sure to get you through your post-lunch food coma.

Love These Labels
Labels who have started – and remained – fiercely independent, tirelessly innovative, and completely dedicated to delivering the goods on great new music.
By Request
If you hear a song you like on Indie Portal – share it with the rest of the world. Call, email, harass if need be – whatever you do: REQUEST, REQUEST, REQUEST!! We’ve supplied a list of the best independent, publicly-owned, university-affiliated, and occasionally – yes – pirate radio stations that play the best music you’ll never hear on mainstream radio. And hey – if you know of a great station that we haven’t listed on the site, shoot us an email, and we’ll make the addition. Support your favorite bands!
Unsigned But Awesome & Bands that Rock
Reviews of the best signed and unsigned independent acts, updated weekly. If you have tips on any great unsigned bands that you think we should profile, send us a message!
Fan Forum
Inevitably, in any given group, there are three types of people: the music geek who knows about ALL the shows and must attend absolutely EVERY one, the tag- along who drags his feet and doesn’t know the band but comes anyway, and the total douche who comes to meet chicks, refuses to move to the beat, and gets completely hammered and pukes on your shoes. We at Indie Portal understand that there are far too many tag-alongs and shoe-pukers in this cold, harsh world. We embrace the music geeks, and think that every sonic savant has the right to converse with, befriend, and perhaps even mate with others of their kind. As such, we have created “Fan Forum,” a place where like-minded indie-rockers can chat and form concert-going groups. Go to shows with kids who actually care!! (Under Construction)

My Interests

MUSIC, geek trivia

I'd like to meet:

We're here to connect independent labels, artists, and unsigned musicians with a fan-base of dedicated followers. If there is an indie label on the cutting edge…we’ll let you know. If there is an unsigned musician out there who should have the opportunity to share their art with the rest of the world… we will find him.We’re here to introduce you to the rockers who continually blow our minds despite small budgets and lack of bling. We focus on the newest of the newbies as well as those artists who have been creating innovative music behind-the-scenes for years.
