Before sold-out arenas and platinum records, every musical revolution begins in local communities. In "We Are the Streets," we look at how underground scenes and regional sounds shape the music industry from the ground up. From the rainy garages of Seattle grunge to the block parties that birthed hip-hop in the Bronx, discover how specific places and communities create distinctive musical identities.
This episode dives into the essential infrastructure that nurtures emerging talent – the sacred spaces of independent venues, the amplifying power of community radio and zines, and the foundational role of local labels. Through insights from artists like Jack White, David Byrne, and pioneering scene-builders, we examine how musicians navigate the delicate transition from local hero to global recognition while maintaining what made them special in the first place. For anyone curious about where musical innovation really comes from, this is an unmissable exploration of why place and community continue to matter in today's music landscape.
