Every month we scour open mic nights, local radio airwaves and the deepest corners of the internet and publish a playlist of extraordinary talent. This is your portal to the best music from the independent scene and evergreen grassroots.

Replica: The February Collection is a playlist of the very finest song craft out there today. Amongst the six featured artists, we have the melodic indie pop of the Reds, Pinks and Purples from San Francisco, two songs from the prolific Cory Hanson, which channel a number of 1970s singer-songwriters, and four from the Golden Dregs’ sample-y alt-rock. We hope you enjoy the collection as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
