Sounds of Dissent: Austria’s Contemporary Protest Music

11.10.2023

In this special edition of IndieRE, we’re not just here to play you some fantastic local tunes – we have also come up with a theme that resonates deeply with the current discussions in Austria.
Whether it’s about women’s rights, the rights of queer individuals, combating various forms of discrimination, the widespread disdain for Nazis, dissatisfaction with our government, or a general discontent with the system – these are not just topcis of conversation, they find their expression in music, through both lyrics and rhythm.

So in this episode, we’re centering our focus on these issues, translating them into musical experiences.

We will listen to:
