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...

"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...
