Independent Saudi musicians
Author: Yara15 Dec
We all heard about Saudi rock and metal bands emerging recently, and the latest one we’ve heard about was even a female rock band called the Accolade. It seems like metal/rock is the most genre of music we’ve seen Saudi musicians do thus far.
This shows us that the music scene is slowly growing in Saudi Arabia and the number of independent musicians and artists is also increasing. This is of course great and I think we should give them credit for what they’re trying to do and support them; especially the talented ones.
This is the reason behind this post actually. W’aleed is a young musician who creates music of a different kind of genre this time, which is electronica, minimalist and progressive. He’s quite new and has released 6 individual tracks so far alongside some compilations with other musicians.
You can listen to his tracks on MySpcace or download them here.

ya heard about accolade, never really gave a damn about it, that’s what the world needs another emofreak bands…getting quiet old, they need to establish something new, doesn’t matter if its saudi or not, people should stop taking things so lightly and keep thinking to them selves “just because we don’t have it, its good that we’re starting !” this kind of mentality is weak and getting outdated, sorry… should have a born creativity…10 years ago i would say kudos to accolades… but at these times i except something better should they keep on playing. not against them but i cheer them to do much better.
about waleed, not my field nor cup of tea, i would increase the tempo and add some more bass beat, and heavy alternatives… its hard to say for me since my ground is metal/rock and alternative rock…just need a good producer.
keep it up and remember, dont base your talent just for a country if you wanna be heard, base it on the world you live in and the planet you share with…in case we hitting mars anytime soon ! Ha!
Yeah, you’re definitely right! You need to look at it objectively, whether they’re Saudi or not.
however, what I mean is…when things like this keep happening more and more, it might encourage some more talented people to come out and show us what they got!
Accolade aren’t that great, we all know that…but hey, you gotta record such things. There’s always a beginning to something great! You never know, you just have to give your support and hope for better things to come.
I like W’aleed’s work.
I guess my taste in music is more diverse, I listen to lots of different genres, so I don’t mind the change sometimes.
yup, i absolutely agree with you, on your first comment.
