We all know the Universals and the Warners and Sonys of the world. But what about the Ban Bangs and the Cosmicas and the Mamushka Dogs? These Latin indie labels are turning out some of the brightest gems in the scene, repping the artists of tomorrow, not necessarily today’s. But we’re all about looking ahead here at Remezcla and finding what our grandkids will be listening to, so when they do listen to it, we can be super snobby and look down on our passe grandchildren’s interests. Luckily, some of the premier indie disqueras of now are willing to partake in the future gang up of our children. -PCG
Remember the FREE indie music compilation we promised you? Behold Mushroom Pillow, home of Spain’s most gifted and celebrated indie rockers. This label features a new generation of alternative rock, and some of their rising players are We Are Stranded, La Familia del Árbol, Trángulo de Amor Bizarro, and many more!
It was no surprise that Mushroom Pillow was nominated for Spain’s Best Indie Label of the year, and several bands on this label did get the grand prize like Polock, Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, and Delorean (read about it here).
