February Round Up



February Round-up

Hey there, it's the first music post! I'm going to get right into things here because February has been a nice mix of different artists. 






Wolf & Bear's song "Sight" is my song of the month for February. For fans of Dance Gavin Dance and artists alike, W&B bring sweet beats and well blended vocals. A few sections have perfectly interlaced heavy and clean vocals. I wouldn't go as far as saying they're as 'groovy' as DGD, but with their own take they have some solid stuff and I plan to have them on my playlists for a long time.



Grayscale- Say Something A solid runner up, Grayscales 2016 album, "What We're Missing" is a gem for me. I slept on them for a while and only got into them in the past few months. Say Something and Catholic are both fresh pop-punk tracks with plenty to offer both lyrically and instrumentals.

 Pet Symmetry- Please Don't Tell My Father That I Used His 1996 Honda Accord To Destroy The Town Of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania in 2002 Do you like ridiculously long song titles? Do you like easy listening emo with trumpets? I said yes to all of them and that's how this smooth jam got onto this blog post. It's not your yell in the mic kinda emo, but it brings forth some good emo vibes.

Belmont- By My Side One of Belmont's 2020 singles, "By My Side" is a nice fit to this months round up. Starting off with a spooky electronic intro, the song quickly picks up with some sick drum beats and up front vocals that make you wanna windmill regardless of any immediate objects that may be in your way. 

 Sleep Talk- Sorry I'm a sucker for catchy intros, especially when they're melodic with quick and intricate drum fills. Sleep Talks "Sorry" is heavy but also calming in a sense. It's a great emo track with heavily felt shouted vocals. 


Notable Mentions

Knocked Loose- Laugh Tracks
Tiny Moving Parts- Amateur Night
Senses Fail- Calling All Cars
Ghost Atlas- Cry Wolf
Forecast- Vacant


Thanks for checking out my monthly round up! I'm hoping to roll out some reviews and playlists for March. For anyone who stumbles upon this blog feel free to drop some recommendations below! 


3/6 Edit: RIP to the font sizing. I tried tweaking it but it stays the same anyways

February Roundup Vol. 2

  Shame, shame, shame! I've been quite lazy on the blog front of things lately but I will always try to post my monthly playlists since I'm always looking for new music. FB posts are still at least a few times a week so there's that. Nevertheless, February had a lot of nice music for me, and it'd be a crime to not share some of em. Worst Party Ever- False Teeth This is that perfect sing along type of emo. I've definitely glanced over Worst Party Ever before and I'm glad I finally listened to them. False Teeth is really great but Road Trip is like, wow factor for me. It's vocally reminiscent of another band that I cannot remember but its right there, agh. Regardless WPE will be a frequent listen for me going forward. For The Win- Crash and Burn For The Win is not super unique per se, as you can draw a lot of influences but that's not to say the music is bad. Crash and Burn is a nice feelsy and vocally wholesome song but I cannot help but internally laugh...

The 2020 Roundup!

  Man I don't even know how to start this one. 2020 has been an absolutely wild ride from start to finish. I'm sure it's been that way for everyone and it's a year no one will forget. Perspective and growth have been some keys to move forward with and hopefully the world is a little better on the tail end of everything. I'm not here to go on about all of that though, it's 2020 roundup time! A duality of playlists from the beginning of this blog back in February wrapping up this insane year. Let's get into it and look back at a few key bands and songs that got me to this point writing this post! First though, I've got 2 playlists for everyone today. One of them is a full compilation of each monthly playlist that are viewable on this blog. An "exhaustive collection" I call it, although it's only 234 songs. It would be way too much for me to write about everything I listened to over the year, or even on a monthly basis. Most of my monthly roun...

November Round Up

Damn I'm late Hey y'all! It's roundup time. Apologies in advance as this'll be a fairly quick post but there's still been a nice rotation of songs this month. Let's jump right into things! Driveways- October Forever (album) Where do I start with this one? Driveways has found a way to blend multiple styles within their own style and make it sound superb. You have elements of pop punk, emo, R&B, and easycore. Songs like Contours and Fifteen Over Five sound like Neck Deep. October Forever sounds just like an A Day To Remember song. Contradictions & Perennials have some nice guitar work and lyrical punch like Tiny Moving Parts. It's hard to not really just love how well they've blended it all together. If you're into the R&B aspect more Sleep Paralysis is also really well put together. Fu Manchu- Evil Eye I'm usually not a big fan of the droning sounds of stoner rock, but Fu Manchu has just the right amount of ene...
