The gear-share moment that made me rethink indie rivalry

I've always hated how cutthroat the scene can get, with bands hoarding opportunities. But when the PA blew at a warehouse gig, seeing everyone lend equipment without hesitation was a genuine win. It's that kind of solidarity we need more of.

Spotted a move in my local indie scene: artists are prioritizing playlist features in cafes over club gigs for early buzz.
