/r/SynthRock
A community for sharing electronic-rock music. A place for those who love synthesizers, sequencers and guitars.
This community is for sharing music. Make sure you are linking to some sort of music media rather than an article, image, band page or anything non-music (SoundCloud type collections are okay). Please keep self-posts to a minimum as well. Music videos are preferred (including fan made), but just audio is fine too. Please only share live performances if they are exceptionally good, studio recordings are preferred. If a band//arists has their own official posting of the video/song on YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, etc, please link to their version if available (although exceptions can be made if the media quality is low). Full Albums and EPs are welcome too. Any news or discussions that occur need to happen within a self post.
What kind of music belongs here? We view "synth rock" as a high level, meta genre that encompases many others. So, just about any sub-genre is welcome, as long as it both rocks and uses electronic instrumentation. Both guitars and synthesizers are preferred, but not required. Some good genre examples would be Electroclash, AlternativeRock, Chillwave, IndieElectronic, BigBeat, IndustrialRock, IndustrialMetal, AggroTech, FuturePop, DreamPop, DeathPop, DarkWave, IJPP, ElectroFunk, NewWave, NuGaze, DancePunk, Post-punk, TripHop or even ChipTunes... but please, keep the wubs to a minimum. We tend to focus on new releases and lesser known bands, but classic tracks and the well known are welcome too.
Please follow the naming convention <artist> - <song title>. If it's a (remix) or (live) version please mention so in the title. Also please self-mark potentially NSFW videos. It's also preferable to use post flair to denote the type of media you're sharing.
Musicians, please feel free to share your own tracks or albums with us!
