Ive already got too much anxiety in my life to listen to a band call Anxious. Or any song call panick attack. Am i the only one?

 

new singles from Nate Smith, Russell Dickerson, Kameron Marlowe, Stale Azzwater, Tucker Wetmore, and Randy Houser.

 

cmonnnnn Sam!

 

I hope so, cuz Anxious fucking rules.

 

They’re so good. It’ll help you through that stuff!

 

Anxious, Sam Fender, and the Superheaven single from yesterday.

 

New Fontaines track/video rules.

 

Sam Fender
Patterson Hood
Anxious
the Pomps
Murder Capital
Killswitch Engage

 

Killer week:
Silverstein
Sam Fender
Softspoken
Killswitch Engage
Tate McRae
Krept & Konan

 

Not too much for me today. Anxious and Motorpsycho for sure, want to check out the Silverstein and Sam Fender albums despite never really getting into them, and will surely have the Tim Hecker album on when the time is right.

 

The progression of The Murder Capital, as a band, is fantastic. Blindness is their best album yet.

 

Sam Fender all day!

 

Seems like the first big release day of the year, for me at least: Silverstein, Sam Fender, Anxious, Baths, Spy, Youth Lagoon, Killswitch.

Also getting SUPER hyped for the new Superheaven, especially after the new track. AOTY contender.

 

haven't seen anyone mention this album by sunny war
