Through the New Music Guide, reviews, Presents features, playlists and videos, it’s been another twelve months when Live4ever has showcased hundreds of breaking bands, artists and brand new songs on our pages.
Here, Live4ever editor Dave Smith has been back through the extensive 2015 archives to pick out some of the very best Indie music tracks which have registered on our radar during that period, focusing on the standout New Music Guide highlights that you’ll perhaps be sampling for the first time, as well as one or two more established anthems which have been dominating our Spotify Stereo and which you can enjoy again before the festive celebrations really get into swing!
