Also, I think you should clarify if you are looking for band with POC or if you are specifically looking to compile a list of Black artists rn
yeah, thats fair. both are important considering how white this scene is, but the focus should be on amplifying/supporting black voices/black artists rn imo
Also, I wanted to ask if anyone specifically has any recommendations for Indigenous/Inuit/First Nations artists? Even in conversations about marginalized peoples in music (this scene and the larger context) these groups often remain glossed over. I feel as though I hardly ever see conversations regarding Indigenous peoples in emo/indie/diy scenes unless it is surrounding specific issues (like Standing Rock or the Trans Mountain pipeline). Black Belt Eagle Scout is the obvious one, but if anyone has any other names to share, I would really appreciate it.
Cheem their bassist is fucking incredible and plays in a few different bands: https://instagram.com/dreadnought__x?igshid=1rgknd53cg47m
