Grimy Goods’ monthly picks for the best new song releases of the month is the Spotify playlist you need if you love exploring new music. We’re all about supporting indie, underground, and lesser-known artists from around the globe, while throwing in a few heavy hitters into the rotation.
Our monthly Best New Songs of the Month playlist features all genres including punk, goth, garage rock, hip hop, psych rock, electronic, indie pop, chill wave, folk, instrumental, shoegaze — you name it.
Fun Fact: This playlist is not only used by Grimy Goods. We have several friends in music supervision, film & network tv licensing, and booking that follow and stream this playlist to discover new talent. Even other media outlets poach off our playlists to discover new talent! They also follow our submission playlist! So if you don’t make it on our Best New Songs of the Month playlist, don’t worry, you might next time — or someone else might decide to place your music.
