Indie interdependence
This article examines how small to medium-sized craft breweries build connections with local independent musicians through multiple forms of collaboration. Such connections are forged through symbolic practices that coproduce meanings of music and beer, and through the creation of spaces where they can be authenticated experientially. The collaboration counts as marketing activity, but also shows how small cultural-sector enterprises engage in di…
We are disposable”
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified inequities for contingent scholars in the neoliberal gig academy. In this article, we document the struggles of three early career scholars, all contingent instructors, researchers, or both, working at multiple institutions in higher education (HE).

Based on qualitative strategies of inquiry including semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals over the age of 18 who are involved with the scene, and participant observation at live gigs recording detailed field notes, I argue that members of the Central Sydney independent music scene can afford to be their own …
Approaching the Underground
This article aims to shed light on how and why the underground urban metal scene in Bangladesh came into existence, and why it takes the forms it takes in this post-colonial country. Consistent with much recent work about alternative rock, it is argued that the concept of scene is helpful in this task because it allows a framework through which to understand how multiple elements come together but never fully cohere into a unified subcultural who…
