Underdog Stories
Utilizing a variety of genres that feed a hungry mentality for determined dreamers, we’ve assembled a squad of music that mirrors overcoming obstacles and the emotional growth found in Underdog Stories.
Win or lose, they give us something to root for.
But they all need a soundtrack, and why not use the UNDERscore track formula to bring these stories to life with a singular focus and rise.
Under the Lights (UND-16)
inspire, triumph, spirit, rally, awaken
Underdog Qualities: Uplifting, Building, Dramatic, Emotive
Our Summary: Soundtracks for come-from-behind victories, unlikely friendships, and transformative experiences.
This is an emotionally charged, cross-genre, coming of age grab bag for high school and teen dramas.
Under the Surface (UND-30)
indie electro, chillwave, lush, shoegaze, dream pop
Underdog Qualities: Emotive, Melancholy, Expansive, Pulsing
Our Summary: There are characters who color outside the lines of the usual social hierarchies. Whether they play D&D, keep to the darkroom to develop camera film, or live for the theater, they remind us that we can be ourselves no matter how weird or quirky.
Genres like shoegaze and indie electro bring the eccentricities to life with unexpected sounds and crescendos.
Under the Rim v3 (UND-55)
hiphop, bump, hype, vibe, swagger
Underdog Qualities: Measured, Steady, Resilient, Sweaty
Our Summary: Who said that underdogs can’t relish the challenge? This album uses hip-hop to bring the hunger for greatness with a little swagger.
For teen dramas with high aspirations for sports championships, academics scholarships, and ways to prove themselves to the world. These obstacles are merely fuel for this underdog.
Under My Bed (UND-58)
moody, dark, angst, dramatic, pop
Underdog Qualities: Haunting, Nocturnal, Mischievous
Our Summary: You can’t sneeze without seeing a new drama about supernatural teens figuring out their place in the world. Adaptations of young adult books yield fantastic Netflix fodder.
Dark Pop is perfect for modern, moody vampires (with or without sparkle), goth groups of friends, and darker shows that keep one foot in reality.
