This week's Underground Rundown travels from Bremen to Brooklyn to New Orleans. Three scenes, three completely different approaches, one shared DIY philosophy: make something real before asking whether it fits.

Every scene has its lore. Sometimes it's a forgotten cassette buried in a basement for fifty years. Occasionally, it's two musicians speaking entirely different musical languages and finding common ground somewhere between the notes. Perhaps it's a Portland band nurturing an art-rock chaos odyssey. This week's Underground Rundown wanders through all three.
