I've been subscribed to Google Play Music for years now, mainly because I'm still on the intro $8.99/month rate. Finding new music on Play is pretty difficult, occasionally, some of the playlists do surface artists I've never heard of before.

So been resorting to a few different ways to find new music.

When I use to live in Boston, I would check the gig calendars of the places I loved going to. They tended to be smaller venues where more unknown artists played. I remember once seeing Imagine Dragons as a support at the Brighton Music Hall. Boston is full of wonderful small gig venues.

Now, when I visit different cities and places, I'll follow the venues on FB so I can easily see the gig calendars. I pretty much use FB as a bookmarker for venues and bands now.

Also, I recommend a cool site called Indishuffle, it's curated by a bunch of humans around the world (I believe).
