PFTU 31.8.25

This week’s playlist threads together the cutting edge of the underground — where sharp-edged punk and garage grit clash with shimmering indie pop, spectral folk, and boundary-pushing electronica. A snapshot of bending genres, rewriting rules, and keeping things raw.

Expect punk’s firebrand energy rubbing shoulders with woozy shoegaze textures, delicate singer-songwriter confessions giving way to widescreen synth landscapes, and indie rock that’s as restless as it is infectious. From politically charged anthems to nocturnal soundscapes.
