The Noise Pop Podcast
The Noise Pop Podcast is a monthly series showcasing new music discoveries and a diverse slate of guest artists from the independent music scene and beyond. Produced by Noise Pop, San Francisco’s go-to indie music, arts and film festival for over 25 years and hosted by music journalist Adrian Spinelli (Paste Magazine, SF Chronicle, etc..), we deliver engaging episodes that are always rooted in the music that we love and that we know you will too.

This is one of our favorite episodes of the year; the one where we get to announce the Treasure Island Music Festival Lineup. Treasure Island is a two-day festival that takes place in the middle of San Francisco Bay on October 15th and 16th. It brings together the best touring indie acts for one of the most unique experiences of the year. It’s also one of the only festivals to divide up the days between dance acts and rock acts.
