The Sound From The Crowd (TSFTC) is an independent music site covering indie, alternative, post-punk and whatever else is worth talking about. Emerging artists are a big part of it, but I’m not limiting it to the underground. If it’s good, I’ll write about it, whether that’s a band playing to a handful of people in the back room of a pub or one that’s already selling out venues.

Here you’ll find live reviews and From The Crowd, a weekly single round-up. Features are on the way too, including deep dives into the labels and people behind the music. The aim is to share great music, back artists and get more people listening to something new.

Who’s Behind It?

I’m Alex. I’m a music production and sound engineering student, a musician and I’m at gigs most weeks. I also work on the production side of live music, so I tend to notice what’s happening behind the stage as well as on it.

TSFTC began as an Instagram page for the artists and releases I felt weren’t getting enough attention. The website lets me write properly about more of the music, people and stories that interest me.
