User Guide
Discovery
Discovery is how you find new music, artists, and venues on Underground Platform. No algorithms — just honest filters and real profiles.
Browsing bands
The main Discover page shows all bands with published profiles. Browse freely or use filters to narrow results by genre, country, or status. Every band you see chose to be visible — there's no paid placement.
Browsing artists
The Artists section shows individual musicians with public profiles. You can see their availability status (looking for a band or not) and what instruments they play.
Browsing venues
The Venues section lists registered venues with published profiles. Filter by city or genres they typically host to find relevant places.
Filtering and searching
Use the filter bar at the top of any discovery page to narrow results. Available filters vary by section but typically include genre, country/city, and text search. Filters update results immediately.
Saving searches
If you frequently search with the same filters, save the search for quick access. Saved searches appear on your account and can be revisited with one click.
Live events discovery
The Live section shows upcoming concerts and events. Browse by date, location, or participating bands. Events are created by bands and venues — you'll only see real shows from active community members.
