PIONEARS

Here at PIONEARS we filter the world of music so you don’t have to. We curate an online playlist of underappreciated music that deserves a wider audience. This is a blog about music we love. We are three friends (M.A., Jules & D.) who believe in good quality music and enjoy discovering different sounds. We aim to promote music that doesn't always receive the attention it deserves, and use PIONEARS as a curated playlist of the songs we are currently into and believe more people need to hear. We are no longer taking submissions or updating the tumblr blog, but our archive can be found on Spotify and the Hype Machine. Or you can always get in touch on Facebook or Instagram to let us know what we should be listening to.
