Color Palette + 12 Indie Rock GLORIOUS artists to follow in 2025

I’m going to confess something. Whenever I write posts with playlists, it’s very easy to choose one or two artists out of 10 or so to illustrate the cover.

Color Palette

Color Palette, led by principal songwriter/vocalist Jay Nemeyer, is an indie dream pop band from Washington, DC. Color Palette creates lush auditory landscapes that feature shimmering, pop-sensible vocal and guitar melodies, and the band has shared the stage with world-renowned acts such as Charli XCX. Color Palette’s music has garnered placements with NBC Universal, ESPN, MTV, Vimeo, Volvo, Aeropostale, and Monster Energy. In July 2020, they received a Wammie Award (Washington Area Music Award) for Best Pop Song (“Marrakech to Bombay”). Color Palette released a new EP via Enroute Records on April 14, 2023.
