Looking for the perfect Indie music example? WINGTIPS just dropped their latest track, “The Break,” and it’s everything I love about independent artists doing their own thing. Their new music video for “The Break” was shot entirely on VHS tape in New York City, featuring Ronnie Stone, an emerging Electro-Pop virtuoso.
The clip below captures gritty urban graffiti, street scenes, and performance shots in what looks like an abandoned factory. Evoking old-school visuals and retro vibes with pure authenticity.
A Real Indie Music Example: Meet WINGTIPS
This Chicago duo (Vincent Segretario and Hannah Avalon) has been crafting their unique sound since 2015, and they’ve never sold out.
What makes them such a great Indie music example? They blend Electro-Pop with darker elements, creating this moody, cinematic vibe that you won’t find on mainstream radio.
Furthermore, they’re 100% independent, handling their own recording and mixing. That’s classic DIY energy right there, staying true to their vision instead of chasing what’s commercially safe.
What is Considered Indie Music?
So, what actually defines Indie music? It’s simple, I think it’s about mindset, not genre. Indie artists choose creative freedom over commercial success.
They write, record, and release music themselves or with small freelance teams, maintaining total creative control.
At the end of the day, it’s about that genuine essence you get from artists making music for the love of it, not because some corporate exec told them to.
I believe WINGTIPS embodies this aspect as they’ve been building their fanbase organically for nearly a decade without compromising their artistic integrity.
Why “The Break” Deserves Your Attention
“The Break” hits with dark, addictive intensity – one of those anthems you can blast on repeat without getting sick of it. The lyrics are a desperate plea to escape past mistakes and heartbreak while charging forward, even when everything’s crumbling.
With such a killer industrial sound, this tune deserves way more streams and YouTube love. It’s an electrifying collaboration that leaves you craving more.
For anyone wanting to understand what Indie music really means in 2025, these guys are the ideal blueprint.
