Unknown Band

Unknown Band is a free app where you discover music blindly. You won’t see artists’ names, album covers, or popularity stats. You listen first - and only then decide whether you want to find out who created the song.

If you’re tired of mainstream music and algorithms, Unknown Band is where you’ll discover something niche, fresh, and different.

How does it work?

Passionate about hip-hop with powerful lyrics and a message? Try Engaged Hip-Hop. Discover songs on your own terms. When a track really moves you, a high rating will reveal the artist, their story, and links to streaming platforms. Go to concerts! In the Live tab, you’ll find upcoming shows by artists you follow in cities you’re interested in. While discovering music blindly, you’ll also get a notification if the artist you’re listening to is playing a concert near you soon.
