About

 

Postcards From The Underground is a weekly new music programme exploring the independent and alternative music landscape.

Since launching in 2018, the show has championed emerging artists, independent releases and the sounds developing beyond the mainstream. Each episode brings together a restless mix of post-punk, indie, art-pop, dream-pop, shoegaze, electronic music, psych, experimental sounds, folk, noise and everything in between.

Alongside established independent voices, the programme continually seeks out new and emerging artists, offering a platform for music that is inventive, distinctive and willing to take risks. From fractured guitars and restless rhythms to hazy electronics, warped pop, atmospheric songwriting and experimental territory, every episode reflects the diversity of contemporary independent music.

Broadcast weekly from the UK and available to listen back online, Postcards From The Underground is a space for curious listeners, music obsessives and anyone looking beyond the obvious.
