Yet Another Music Blog? About, what, Taiwan Indie?

This tiny island is home to some of the best indie rock and pop you've never heard. Everything from emo, punk, ska, dream pop, shoe gaze and folk to post-rock. It's all here in one convenient little package. The coolest thing about the scene here is that the existence of independent/underground music is relatively brief in its lifespan compared to the rest of the civilized world (more on that in a later post). Only in about the past 15-20 years has the 'indie-rock' ethos been developing, so over this time period Taiwan has seen much evolution and experimentation in its homegrown music, along with the requisite growing pains. This blog will provide band bios, links, history lessons on indie music in Taiwan, and what we hope will be a weekly podcast featuring the best underground tunage that you need to hear, as well as gems from the past that will give you a clearer picture of what the scene here is all about.
