These dudes are repping Atlanta this year at SXSW! Met them at the Afropunk Battle of the Bands, great dudes. Speaking of, Battle of the Bands winners:
is there a way to embed Bandcamp links? throwing a link inside [ MEDIA = bandcamp ] tags brings back "Sorry, this track or album is not available" so something is getting through but i'm not sure how to embed a track or album without using HTML or Wordpress, neither of which work with the site's editor afaik. either way GLOSS is fucking spitfire
Handheld are a bunch of rad kids from the Nazareth area. At least two of them are still in high school Demo, by Handheld
Getting increasingly annoyed about Babeo getting erased from the conversation about the "leaked Drake song" when it's their release. Love that black nb erasure (:
I'd always like to add to the diversity of the artists I listen to, but you guys should mention what genres/styles some of these acts are when you recommend them so people can start with what they'll most likely be most interested in.
Here are some more solid ones! Dazeases - lofi bedroom pop The Weak Days - anti sadboy ala Tiger's Jaw My Darling Fury - indie-pop ala 1975 Samurai Tiger - twinkly emo ala Tiny Moving Parts Atta Girl - pop shredfest ala Sundials
guilty as charged. all of these artists are from the Richmond/DC area and have POC or LGBTQ+ (or both!) members.
Kaytranada just kinda reveiled that he's gay, or at least trying to figure out. But really awesome for him regardless
