The Top Ten Indie Songs for May 2019 are in.

Congrats to U.K. indie rock band The Gallery for taking the No. 1 spot for their
riveting track, “Pesticide.” Vancouver multi-instrumentalist Alex Montenegro, aka
Aftermidnite, came in at a close No. 2 with “Isla,” a song he wrote about his newborn
daughter. There are so many solid tracks here.

The Top Ten is based on listeners streams, downloads, and shares from posts that
we published in May. These are almost all DIY artists that usually don’t get much
attention despite their talents. Others are brand new to the indie scene.

There were many other songs that came close to being in the top ten. Still, our 
Top 10 playlists are based on your streams, downloads, and shares.
