🔥 Welcome back to B-Side Banter! 🔥
In this episode, I’m joined by Matt — better known as FuegoStein, one of the internet’s go-to voices for indie music discovery. We dive deep into the grind of touring for indie artists, why so many struggle to break through, and how merch and vinyl sales often keep them alive.
We also break down the cultural impact of Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, the debate over gatekeeping when indie artists go mainstream, and how social media bits, fake beefs, and hot takes can skyrocket a band’s career. From Wednesday, Samia, and Viagra Boys to the endless TikTok beefs shaking up music right now — this one’s packed.
If you love discovering new artists, hearing the real side of the music grind, and debating what makes or breaks success today, you’re in the right place. Hit that LIKE & SUBSCRIBE button and join the convo: Should fans stop gatekeeping indie artists? 👀
