Tamar Berk Rewinds the Clock with “indiesleaze 2005”
Tamar Berk’s new music video “indiesleaze 2005” is like a neon-lit time capsule that has been cracked open. It brings back memories of being young, hungry, and living for the next gig. The song was written when Tamar was living in Chicago and going from band to band, soaking up every rehearsal space, every crowded venue corner, and every last-minute lineup change that felt like fate.
In “indiesleaze 2005,” Tamar captures that intoxicating in-between stage, too young to slow down, too ambitious to breathe, and too in love with the idea of music to do anything but chase the next stage. The song has that restless energy common in a time when every show felt like a lifeline, and every band practice felt like a new start.
The music video has a raw, nostalgic look that matches this sense of urgency. It feels like going through an old digital camera full of blurry basement photos and night-time flashes, imperfect, electric, and alive. Tamar confidently leans into the aesthetic, giving viewers a ride through the unfiltered creative freedom of the indie scene in the mid-2000s. This is a memory brought back to life on purpose.
“Indiesleaze 2005” is made for people who like indie rock, DIY culture, and telling stories through alternative music. It reminds us of why artists start, why they keep going, and why those early, crazy years often have a big impact on everything that comes after. Tamar doesn’t just honor her past; she takes it back with heart, purpose, and undeniable truth.
