April Round Up


Well, you know what they say. "A day late a dollar short", or something to that effect. April has been a busy month but it's over with, so lets hop into the monthly round up!







Nova Charisma is a post-hardcore band from Baltimore consisting of members from Hail the Sun and Royal Coda. For fans of DGD, Nova Charisma fits right in with similar bands such as Stolas, Sianvar etc. Donovan Melero has such a fresh voice that you can't help singing along with.




More Than A Thousand- Teenage Wastelands

MTAT was a Portuguese metalcore band that formed in 2001 and ended in 2016. I've been a listener of theirs for years and they have a unique sound compared to American metalcore bands. Teenage Wastelands is a more melodic and melancholic song compared to most of their other work. This song made it to the round up but I couldn't just not link I Am The Anchor.




Eleventyseven- Give It Up

Oh geez what a throwback. Eleventyseven are a Synth Pop band from South Carolina, and really this is the only song I've listened to by them. It's certainly good, albeit with a good amount of pop music the lyrics are rather corny. But who's to judge? I enjoy it enough to have it on my monthly round up and I probably listened to it like 20 times in April.




Nude Shoes- Couple's Jenga

Some absolutely fresh pop-punk/emo from Asbury Park, NJ, Nude Shoes has one EP and a few singles. Via their Facebook page, they have new material coming soon; It's worth checking out for sure. Once the 'rona pandemic is over, I'll have to catch a show as I'm within 2 hours of Asbury.




Mewithoutyou- We Know Who Our Enemies Are

Experimental Post Hardcore from Philly, Mewithoutyou is straight in your face hardcore. Their Album A--B Life is a masterpiece in my opinion. This EP is some demos of songs that would end up being on A to B.

Also worth mentioning

Near Mint- Dropout

Cursive- A Gentleman Caller

Jakub Zytecki- Letters

Slothrust- Crockpot



As always, I hope you enjoy the music! And perhaps even the posts themselves. Peace 8)

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...

January Roundup Vol. 2

  Here we are again. Another year, another month, another roundup. I've got high hopes for music in 2021 and hopefully we will see some return of live music and being able to see artists we like live in person. Anyways let's get into Volume 2 of my monthly playlists! Vilano- Greetings! Vilano is really cool and a new listen for me. They bring back that mid 2000's pop punk sound that's so addicting to me. Greetings starts off in a similar way to Veara's My B-Side Life then branches off into its own thing. There's some really good drumming in both songs as well which also made me correlate the two. Another song I've been digging is Who We Are (feat. Fronzilla). It's a completely different sound but it's pretty much just a Myka Relocate song with Fronz, which in all honestly is really good. Juneva- If You're Jezebel, Then I'm Bill Murray If you've read through enough of my posts, you know how I feel about post-hardcore. Juneva only had 2 EPs...
