PSR Picks: Women Of Local Indie Music

Mar 17, 2017

Forget those tiring-basic-high-belted-music. Turn your ears on to this different radar, different flavor, different genre, different women—your women of local indie music.

For sound gives people a pleasure, a satisfying feeling that really goes inside nerves and just turns you into beating, singing, feeling that vibe.

These women give us chill. They set the indie vibe and you can’t just deny the fact that they are into it, they are chilling, they are killing every word and every beat that comes from these mouths.

Let’s chill and hang, just like your younger sister playing her ukulele, feeling that young and fun vibe.
