Hell yeah baby, thanks! Planning on July 12 for the whole thing if everything goes according to plan!
• Illyria — post-black metal with some really nice melodies (I love this band) • Mountainscape — epic, sweeping, instrumental post-metal. Similar to a heavier Russian Circles • Hippotraktor — prog-y post-metal that is very good, and very huge. Huntsmen — Doom with some gorgeous three-part harmonies. • The Omnific — prog that is built around the bass guitar. • Dysrhythmia — instrumental prog with some Cynic influences. • Umbra Vitae — a supergroup that isn’t disappointing. Death metal from members of Converge, Twitching Tongues, & The Red Chord. I was disappointed by the new Rarity & Evergrey albums. Will try spinning them again later.
Okay I’m not the only one! Band is incredible, been super in to them lately so seeing something new today was a nice surprise. Every time they would come up on my shuffle I’d be like damn this is epic. Finally dove in all the way. Black metal is not my forte but however these guys are doing it has my attention.

Heck yeah! I like them so much because they have kind of an inspiring, uplifting, happy bent to their music. I've only heard of one other band (whose name I can't remember right now) that does happy-sounding black metal. This album seems fairly dark for them, but there's still some clean, uplifting sections. I dig the dude's clean singing -- I can really feel the emotion.
This is great Drinking a million beers + fast and furious + chinese food + Pkew + Souls is probably the best way to sell me on anything
For sure! Jonah is good people. I booked a show for him way back in the day w/ Onelinedrawing, Murder By Death, and Bear vs Shark
Going to check out the LOLO album. EDIT: Finished the album and really enjoyed it. It had a lot more depth than I thought it would bc when I thought of LOLO I thought "quirky catchy somewhat silly fun alternative tiktok one-liners pop rock". This album changed that for me. Its impressive! Of the previously unreleased tracks I think my favorite is "2 of us".
Sometimes I try to add genres to my list but overthink, get overwhelmed, and abandon the idea. I'm really digging the Bloomsday album. It's, like, laid back indie folk. They were recently on tour with Rosie Tucker. Jesse Daniel's album is a fun lil jaunt of classic country -- nothing groundbreaking, but some fun instrumentation! There’s a track featuring Merle Haggard’s son (Ben Haggard). Saint Levant is a trilingual Palestinian R&B/hip hop artist. Love the middle eastern beats! He flows seamlessly between english, french, and arabic. Tiny Stills - We Really Felt Something Bloomsday - Heart of the Artichoke Rat Palace - Dust Free Home Liz Lawrence - Peanuts Saint Levant - DEIRA Tradie - But If I Try Margaux - Inside the Marble Rose Hotel - A Pawn Surrender Marina Allen - Eight Pointed Star Jesse Daniel - Countin' The Miles Kerosene Heights - LEAVING EP tbh i’m still pretty stuck on Super American. such high replay value!
reminds me of the bottom line and wstr! thanks for sharing, this Ep rips!! i finally got around to checking it out
I cannot stop playing this Endswell EP. It’s a collection of members from other bands out of Madison, Wisconsin (Excuse Me Who Are You?, Tiny Voices, and Kule). Emo/melodic hardcore, so it’s very yelly but then there’s some punk rock style especially on track 1. Some of the twinkly riffs are just delicious. Plus, those Zelda samples are the best. Hopefully Nintendo isn’t listening, lol.
