Appreciation Post #4


My good internet folk! It's been a bit since I've posted. It's unnecessary to really push content as this is just for you internet travellers and myself which is all the more reason to make content "well". I hope that the music is better than how I describe music most of the time but that's why I try to keep things short(er). Anywho let's get into the content!





This is a saucy one actually, if you're into that sort of thing. The reason why is because my ex-girlfriend introduced me to them about 5 years ago. The Chase Scene was the first song I heard and K.C. Simonsen's clean vocals were like any other in the post-hardcore scene. Note "ex" girlfriend but about 2 years later my friend and I went to see them at a show and afterwards outside we had the chance to chill with them for like half an hour and they were the chillest dudes ever. Heavy vocalist Trevor Tatro as well as K.C. aren't in the band anymore, but OIC still puts out great music and have some new stuff going on right now! Worth the click.







I love Free Throw. Picking one song from them for an appreciation post is like asking a mother of newborn triplets which one she likes the most. Alright, maybe not quite that far of a reach, but it's pretty close. Free Throw states they're the "Drake of emo" and that's not a bad description honestly. First thoughts that come to mind when you hear emo is either sad or angry, and Free Throw brings both and pumps you up. PA Dutch is on this appreciation post for the feels and nostalgia. Every song by them could be on this post imo.






Some folks may know them from their most popular song "Don't Hold Back" and if you're like me, had the opportunity of discovering this great throwback of a band from guitar hero 3. Although an amazing song, Loud And Clear is my favorite off of the album and one of my favorites of all time. It's the best sung, has the craziest imagery, and is probably one of the top 10 post-hardcore songs of the mid-2000's. Right up there with Underoath but sheesh can't say the same now sadly. 


Monthly round up coming soon! Although a bit of this month may spill into next month's playlist; quite exciting isn't it? As always stranger, I hope you've enjoyed!

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...

"Da Hell, Man?"

  "Where am I? What's goin' on here?" Sheesh, what laziness on the blog front of things. I've stated in the past that I felt no need to rush any posts, and that since I do this for fun I would only post when I felt I had something worth posting. Not that I haven't had post worthy content, but I've been lacking in posts over here. I love to post on the FB page as I can quickly post a song or a music video, but still. I figured due to my absence here I might as well give general music updates (playlists), and new artists that I've been bopping frequently. One of the playlists that I've been updating the most frequently is the Swancore Inspired Bops Playlist. Tons of great artists take on the great Progressive Post-Hardcore sound that has been developed so well. Resilia is one that captures that sound nicely, and they've got some new content lately although they only have a few songs overall. Silver/Amnesty is an excellent one. One that I've r...

Swancore Inspired Bops

Ah yes, Swancore. I've touched upon it briefly in some of my previous entries but today's post is on a playlist I've had for several weeks now.  S.I.B Playlist Swancore is a self coined genre by musician Will Swan. Widely known for his work in Dance Gavin Dance over the years, he began his record label Blue Swan Records in 2013. Since then, there has been a plethora of bands that have put out really solid material in my opinion. Now, I could easily just copy/paste a bunch of artists that are or were under the Label, but that's too simplistic. This playlist is a mixture of some Swancore bands, as well as other bands that sound similar or take influence from Dance Gavin Dance in general. It's a weird sort of limbo in my head if I overthink it, but I see it like this: Essentially there are artists that sound like either DGD or bands on the Swan Records Label, but are neither. Now, like all of my playlists, this is still a work in progress. Some get added to infrequent...
