PLAYLIST: Top 10 Indie Songs, March 2022

Posted on by Kate Stevens

The March Top 10 Songs playlist was crazy difficult to determine because of the flood of new tracks from already dropped and upcoming anticipated album releases, including artists and bands like Kurt Vile; Yard Act; Eades; Arcade Fire; Yak; Bodega; Andrew Bird; The Smile and Gruff Rhys.

Because it’s such a challenge to pick only ten songs a month, we’re also sharing our Top 50 Indie Songs for March 2022. Check that one out too and you’ll see what we mean. Simply too much exciting and kick-ass tunes coming at us these days from all directions.

But, still, we managed to squeek out our top 10 picks from all of the songs that dropped in March. ENjoy and please share to spread some love and give us a bit of inspiration juice for further playlists.

Finally: if you really love specially-curated playlists that hit on themes from world countries and VIP names to popular holiday playlists and other themes ranging from Best Roots Rock Revival; Top 2022 Post-Punk Songs (So Far); Cover Songs playlists and many more. We’d love to have you follow and share. If just great music is all you care about, let us feed you the works we’ve labored so many years to perfect.

Without further delay, let’s dive in:

Looking to stream more kick-ass tracks dropped in March from popular indie/alt artists and bands as well as small-label, lesser-known and DIY artists/bands, fire up Best 2022 Indie/Alt Rock, Vol. III.

Hot Heat Summer Songs – Annuals, Woodsman, Vampire Hands, SSLYBY, Women, ARMS, Blizten Trapper, Beck, Whalers

Heat records have been broken all across the U.S. in recent weeks.

Much of the nation, most especially the mid-west and the south, have been trapped under a dome of extreme heat for the past month or so, while the Northeast has been dipping in and out of excessive temperatures for weeks. Therefore, we set out to put together a playlist mix with songs containing words like heat, hot, burn, humid, and so on, in the titles. Yeah, kind of corny, but we’re always looking for an excuse to tap into our private collections of rated music dating back to the beginning of rock to make specialized, thematic playlists.

Note: Not all of the songs are meant to be literal, but included because they’re just great songs. For example, there are songs with “hot” in the title, but the literal use of the word has more to do with desire and attraction than temperature.
