285 Kent was just one of many underground spaces building a thriving community of indie bands, artists and fans. Here are 18 more venues keeping the DIY spirit alive.

These guys are booking so many shows it's crazy. Almost all of them are at The Forge, so check them out.

Not philosophy. Not religion. True self expressed in sound.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT LAST NIGHT! Forge Mini-Fest II was awesome and we were so happy to see some new faces in The Forge. Every band was excellent and everyone was super respectful of the space. We are so happy to be a part of Birmingham's ever growing DIY community. Special thank you to the DIY Birmingham staff for all of their help.
