After Shredtember came the months Rocktober and Showvember. The beginning of a new month means we landed at the beginning of Indiecember.

New monikers aside, it seems like a fresh month would be the perfect time to jump into one of our favorite genres of music. Today, let’s kick off the last month of 2024 by DIY-ing an ideal indie playlist!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what indie-rock songs would you like to hear?
