May Round Up


Another month down already? Sheesh. May has been expansive and will probably roll into June, so let's see what I can pick for now with the monthly round up!







Oh yeah, good ole DGD. Afterburner came out in late April but it wasn't until a week or so later that I gave the whole album a listen. It's phenomenal as anticipated, and Tilian continues to keep the standard high. Three Wishes is exemplary in sound and vibe and was my most played as well as Strawberry's Wake.






If you've been reading through some of my recent posts, you'll see that I've mentioned Nude Shoes before. This time around is their newest single, a cover of a song originally by The Wonder Years. I love TWY but I think this rendition is better than the original, it's excellent.






I'll start this one off with one thing. I bought this album on Amazon and it's coming in a few days. Worthwhile is some hype melodic hardcore, and this song alone has become an absolute favorite of mine. It hits perfectly.






Talk about a sad story, although I'm 10 years late. Scarlett O'Hara was a post hardcore band that was signed to Rise records and released this album in 2010. Afterwards they were released from Rise and decided to part ways. I'm only finding this now in 2020, but this is up there with 2010 A Day To Remember.


Also worth mentioning:

Heart to Gold- Tokyo

Picturesque- Swipe

Oranges- Cool Coconut Head

Fearless Leader- Old Math



A bit short, but I still think it's been a good month for music as always. Ever expanding and always intrigued. I hope you 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...
