As ever, all of the above singles are shoved onto my #NewMusicFriday playlist which I update every Friday. You can find it below and subscribe/follow it if you'd like.

As a side note, with releases winding down and the festive period in full swing, if anyone wants alt/emo/pop-punk etc xmas tunes I've got a massive playlist for that too. Enjoy!

 

Its list season so not much of anything at all. I've been catching up on stuff I've missed.

Worst Party Ever record is a short commitment and worth checking out

And I liked the new Higher Power single

 

@helloiamzach good looks on the holiday playlist.

Tierra Whack released a few songs that are good!

 

This! I just finished my review of it today, so keep your eyes peeled...

 

On my radar today:

The Amity Affliction: Somewhere Beyond The Blue EP
Ember Falls: Ruins
Nathan Gray: Rebel Songs
The Veer Union: Quarantine Collaborations (collection of work they did the last couple years with other artists)

 

My band dropped a sad song

 

Nathan Gray
Worst Party Ever

And, of course, the new Tricot album that dropped a few days ago:

I listened to that Tricot album yesterday. Thought it came out sooner and I missed it. Btw. I played it in my office and people were a bit weirded out hahah. It's good of course!

That new And So I Watch You From Afar double single is awesome as hell too!

 

Modern Life Is War
Big Boy
Charnel Altar
Wound
Slow Burning Rage

 

Im jamming the One for the Kids remaster from Yellowcard that released today.

 

I love him and BSF but his solo releases have been lackluster. His strength is definitely not in instrumentation so when he's just playing acoustic power chords it gets a little repetitive. Is this a full band release or another acoustic album?

 

I really don't know how you do it. So much new music every week - I feel like you consume more in a week than I in a year anymore.

 

TRICOT

 

Thanks! Hope you find them useful.

I don't get to listen to ALL of the albums and EPs, though I listen to a good chunk. The singles though I listen to them all as I just listen to the playlist I make after making it to check them all out.

 

It's a curious thing. Sounds like they took the raw studio tracks before they pitch corrected and did other little tweaks and then just turned up the rhythm guitars.

 

The Jukebox Romantics- Fires Forming (ep)

Catchy melodic punk rock!!!!

 

This is under a band called "Nathan Gray and the Iron Roses" even though the cover art just credits Nathan Gray. It's got a nice collaboration with Tim McIlrath of Rise Against on the title track. Definitely worth a listen!

 

Been listening to Greyed Out's (members of This Time Next Year) new EP
