The heat of summer is finally settling in, and what’s summer without a punchy beach bop to coast down the Boulevard to?

Fortunately, there are three independent artists who have been hard at work churning out upbeat tunes for this season’s playlist.

When following an independent artist, it’s important to realize every small gesture makes the world of difference to them.

If streaming on Spotify, be sure to click “follow” on favorite artists, to “like” their songs (yes, actually click the tiny heart icon) and to manually add their songs to playlists.

Most importantly, add their songs to shared playlists and/or forward them to friends.
