NO BOYS ALLOWED PLAYLIST

Music communities can be tough to move up in, especially if they are male-dominated. The Triangle music scene has plenty of variety regarding genre as well as gender, and it’s important to give these hardworking non-cis-male artists the credit they deserve. Help encourage inclusivity in Triangle music by checking out these artists and their work; you won’t be disappointed.

(After our conversation I looked up Swim in the Wild and the first result was their ReverbNation page.)

At the end of the day, maybe we’re not so different. He likes Fetty Wap… I like Fetty Wap… I like Wolf Alice… someone mentioned them to him once.
