IndieWiki:About

 is the wiki for independent artists and bands who have released music independently (i.e. not through a major label). It is an ideal way to celebrate the achievements of such bands, constantly adding information about their rise through the industry.

What artists and bands qualify? If a band has self-produced an album, it qualifies. If an artist has released an EP through an independent label, he or she qualifies. If a band has only released MP3s through their personal website, they qualify. The only bands or artists that do not qualify are those who have only released music through major labels.

Also on IndieWiki, you can find articles on the individual albums released under indie labels, and articles on those labels. You can also find articles on venues that cater to independent artists, and articles on other related subjects.

Wikipedia.org, the world's most popular wiki, has strict standards for what bands qualify for inclusion there. The standards are very different on IndiaWiki. Instead of focusing on how "notable" or "encyclopedic" a band is, we focus on whether a band is a creator of independent music. We expect that many bands who are unable to create articles on Wikipedia will find a home here.

Whether you're a musician, a label representative, an enthusiastic listener, or someone else entirely, welcome. We hope you find great music on our wiki.
