Top 10 Emerging Rock Artists of 2025
In older times, it was easy for listeners to lump different artists and albums under one genre. It’s funny how both a classical-inspired pomp band like Queen and a snarling, spitting punk band like Sex Pistols can both fall under the umbrella term of “rock”. Nowadays, artists have challenged these boundaries and pushed them further to give space for newer, different sounds. With these new subgenres in the rock scene comes a new era of emerging musicians ready to bring evolution to modern rock music. From bright indie strummers to darker hard rock thrashers and social media stars to masked mysteries – here is the Funktasy Top 10 list for 2025’s Emerging Rock Artists!
