Listen to First: "the List"
This list is created by listening to all the releases listed on Consequence. If you have an upcoming release that you’d like to be considered for a future list, please fill out the "New Artist Submission" form on our site with the above information as well as a link to listen.
Please note: submission does not guarantee inclusion.
All band descriptions and genres come from their own words on either Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, social media, or their website. If our “Listen To First” song by an artist was unavailable on SoundCloud, we have tried (when possible) to replace it with another recent song. Other streaming services coming soon.
