Bartees strange - enjoying this album more than anything since live forever.

raccoon city new single. Song blew me away. So heavy and melodic. Reminds me of touché or early PBTT or even heavy Thursday. So good

 

Winona Fighter is a really fun album. Earworms for days!

I see there are new Immerse and Hillhaven singles which I am excited to dig into

 

Gonna get a few others out but Winona Fighter all the way right now

 

Had never heard of Winona Fighter before five minutes ago, but one song into the record and I am enjoying!

 

assuming the front-woman chloe is lurking this thread for haters. be forewarned.

 

Excited to check out Winona Fighter and Bartees! And new Amber Pacific caught me way off guard, what a nice surprise!

The audacity of Drake releasing something right now...that's certainly a choice.

 

Discovered them a couple years ago and the RIYL is spot on. Like a time capsule of those bands older material. Definitely scratches an itch.

 

My band re-recorded some songs from our full-length that came out 10 years ago!
