VH1 Dedicates 7Hours To The Evolution Of Indie Music This Independance Day

It's no surprise to be celebrating Independent music over Indian Independence Day. While Loudest.in has been on it so have many other across the music industry. One of the striking ones include 7 hours of Independent Music on VH1 on the 15th of August. 72 years of struggling greatness is what we have achieved as a nation. The fight for indie music isn't that long but has been equally strong.

There is a lot of truth in the fact that Indian Indie Music Industry has come a long way. The Indian Independent scene has reached a crescendo and this is its journey! The Indian Alternative Music since its inception in the early ’80s is reaching every corner of the country as well as some parts of the world.
