The new Kings Kaleidoscope album is magical. Stoked to finally hear PUP! I'm looking forward to Sara Bareilles, too
I grew up in a small town in rural Ontario, nearish to cities, but never identifying them as my own. I was in high school/university when bands like Alexisonfire, Moneen, Boys Night Out, Silverstein, Protest the Hero, etc. were taking off in the scene here, but they weren't from my community. Skipping ahead now to adulthood and I've been lucky enough to live in Toronto for the past 7 years. PUP gives me that sense of pride I didn't get to experience in my younger years, to watch and follow as a local band blows up before my very eyes. Morbid Stuff is amazing, and their music continues to excite me differently than anyone else.
JAWS is really good. Love the B-Town scene. If you like them I recommend Swim Deep and on a completely different note Sharks. Birmingham Scene is mainly Grime these days with Jaykae, Lady Leshurr and Lotto Boyz releasing good catchy songs.
Weyes Blood Lady Lamb (thanks for recommending her, @Joe4th) Eluveitie Priests Ioanna Gika (thanks for the rec, @Henry!) Great release day
Oh, I sorta released an album today, too! (not really "released," but I'm giving it away) Dropbox - Chase Tremaine - AIAD7 Supertrack.mp3 Once or twice a year, I attempt to write and record an album in a day. The past six times, I've tried to make big and full productions, but I always capped out at 6 or fewer songs in 24 hours. This time, I restricted myself to just acoustic songs, and I finished the day with eleven songs! The file above has them all bounced in a single track, for ease's sake. (Both mine and yours.) Here's the breakdown: Album-in-a-Day Project, Volume 7 Written & Recorded on April 4, 2019 Song 1 - 0:00 - Work Together (pop/rock, 2:15am) Song 2 - 3:44 - Two Ghosts (indie folk/pop, 4:54am) Song 3 - 7:24 - Shock My Ears (pop/rock, 6:26am) Song 4 - 10:05 - Wings Not Made to Fly (narrative rock, 9:42am) Song 5 - 14:59 - Design Team Song (workplace comedy, 10:02am) Song 6 - 16:32 - Search for Myself (pop, 1:18pm) Song 7 - 19:52 - Settled in the Unsettled (folk/americana, 3:23pm) Song 8 - 23:16 - From Throne to Throne (alt metal/narrative rock, 5:44pm) Song 9 - 28:08 - Three/Four (experimental pop, 8:58pm) Song 10 - 32:14 - Four/Four (experimental pop, 10:18pm) Song 11 - 34:22 - Heart Reset (indie folk/pop, 11:59pm)
The Jai Wolf album is incredible. It reminds me of Washed Out and Neon Indian but better mixed with some synth pop
