We cover the artists who’ve put in the work, built the following, and make some of the best music you’re probably not hearing enough of. That’s where we come in. Great music isn’t limited to big names, and it isn’t confined to one genre — great music is the kind that pulls you in and makes you want to come back and hear it again.
About Planet Mars Music
Most music coverage chases the same hundred artists. Planet Mars Music tries to go somewhere else. Great music isn’t limited to big names, and it isn’t confined to one genre — great music is the kind that pulls you in and makes you want to come back and hear it again.
We cover musicians who exist outside the mainstream spotlight — not because they lack credibility or an audience, but because the major platforms and publications rarely venture past the obvious names. Some of the artists we write about have won awards, had their songs recorded by household names, and earned the deep respect of the music industry. Others have built loyal followings city by city, album by album, entirely on their own terms. What they share is that the biggest music media outlets don’t tell their stories very often.
Planet Mars Music is for listeners who already know the mainstream isn’t the whole story — and for anyone who’s about to find that out for the first time. There’s a whole universe of music out here. We’ll help you find it.
That might mean a composer whose work has been performed by artists you’ve heard on the radio, but whose own catalog sits quietly waiting to be discovered. Or a touring songwriter with twenty years of records behind them and a room full of devoted fans in every city they play. Or a band whose live show is one of the best things you’ll see this year, if you know to look for them.
