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...

A Youthful Summer

A Youthful Summer There's something about certain songs or artists that give feelings of nostalgia or just plain bliss. A Youthful Summer is a playlist built around those long summer days throughout the 2010's. I suppose the aesthetic and nostalgia aspects would be geared towards folks that grew up on some of the music on this playlist. Regardless I feel there are a lot of good musicians being represented here, I hope you enjoy! I like to touch on all of the genres that I enjoy, but this playlist is narrowed down to a few main genres. Pop-punk is easily the most prevalent but realistically the genre appeals to a lot of younger folks. Not a bad aspect by any means but I like the nostalgia the genre evokes.  In terms of overall influence I think the cake goes to A Day To Remember. Their music made "heavier" sounds more accessible to a wide audience. That's where the bit of easycore comes in. Belmont and Lonely Avenue are 2 slightly newer arti...

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...
