This edition of Indie Rock BOPS leans into songs that feel built from persistence, personality, and real graft. These are tracks that sit comfortably between classic influences and modern indie instincts, driven by songwriting first and polish second. Honest, melodic, and quietly confident.
Adam Wedd – Figure It Out
Adam Wedd turns everyday uncertainty into something uplifting and immediate, Figure It Out feels open-hearted, melodic, and full of forward motion
London-based artist Adam Wedd writes indie rock that wears its influences lightly but confidently. Figure It Out leans into clean guitars, bright melodies, and a sense of restless optimism that feels rooted in the genre’s best traditions without sounding nostalgic.
This is real indie banger territory with a chorus to match. It definitely feels lived-in rather than overworked, driven by Wedd’s multi-instrumental touch and an instinct for hooks that land without forcing the moment. The song captures that familiar space between doubt and momentum, where things are not solved yet, but movement matters more than certainty.
Direct, engaging, and quietly reassuring, Figure It Out feels like a step forward rather than a statement piece, and that is exactly its strength.
Ker – Wondering on Giants
Ker captures scale and intimacy at the same time, Wondering on Giants feels thoughtful, grounded, and quietly expansive
Ker’s Wondering on Giants approaches indie rock from a more reflective angle, shaped by landscape, memory, and patience. Inspired by hill walking in Scotland and time spent absorbing older songwriting traditions, the track resists grand gestures in favour of steady emotional weight.
Built around carefully considered guitars and a sense of space, the song allows its ideas to unfold slowly. We love the unique vocal delivery, and there’s a rhodes solo midway through the track which we love. It feels measured, letting melody and lyric do the heavy lifting without rushing the listener toward a conclusion.
Rooted in a semi-nostalgic sensibility while still feeling present, Wondering on Giants works as both an introduction and a statement of intent. It is indie rock that values texture, reflection, and the long view.
