Fantasy Sports and Indie Music are two categories without a lot of overlap… until now. Join host Sean Dekonty and a cast of DIY ruffians in our new podcast as they play test the first ever Fantasy Indie Label League. Not a Sound Presents: Fantasy Indie Label Super Smack-down Deluxe.

Episode 3: “The Schepisode”
WARNING: NSFW (LANGUAGE)

Players draft ten bands, each with less than 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and compete against each other every month to earn Clout. Bands on your active roster score points by touring, releasing records, and gaining critical acclaim through Metacritic. At the end of each month the label with the most points earns 3 Clout, the second most earns 2 Clout, and the third most earns 1 Clout. Bonus Clout will be awarded to any Label that releases a record in the Metacritic Top 50 at the end of the year. Whichever label has the most Clout when it’s all said and done wins!
