June Round Up


Oh wait it's July. This year itself has been going mad fast amidst this pandemic. The weeks come and go and time seems altered. I'm almost more uncomfortable with how time has felt this year than the reason why. Regardless June is done so it's time to wrap up what I've been jamming this month.







Philly based Kaonashi is a banger! If you like hardcore with a unique voice like Knocked Loose you'll enjoy them for sure. I have to say though, they really bring some interesting stuff in Coffee & Conversation. That intro is reminiscent of melodic bits in ERRA's music. I love 'em both for sure.







Abandoned By Bears is a nice summery band to jam to. Heavy hitting melodic pop-punk that always just seems to fit with warm weather.





This Day Forward- Writing In Cursive


This Day Forward was a post hardcore band from the early 2000's that brings pure energy to the table. I get a heavy nu-metal vibe from this album but it fits like the child of early Underoath and Avenged Sevenfold's Sounding The Seventh Trumpet.





Coletta- Handbook For The Recently Deceased


Oh boy, another DGD-esque band. Coletta definitely has a nice flowing vibe to them though. Flower Child exemplifies that really well but if you're into the heavier bit there's no lack of that either.





Judgement- Terra Firma


This one's a tasty one imo. I haven't delved much into Judgement themselves, but this song was posted on Reddit and I fell in love with it. It's highly reminiscent of that mid 2000's post-hardcore/emo. If you've read through my other posts you already know how much I appreciate that kind of sound.


Honorable Mentions:

sports.- I Am The Boy

Seeb- Sad in Scandinavia

Troubled Minds- Chronophobia

Stress Fractures- Totally Kyle

Chapel- Mushy Gushy



I gotta say, June was good but I was late to post my roundup, so apologies if I don't do any of the music any justice. Peep 'em and enjoy, or not. That's all for now. I have content coming down the pipe but as said before, I don't want to push articles just to post them. Roundups are structured to be posted at the end of the month but anything else should be more articulated and informative. We shall see folks, peace!


June Playlist


Also post edit: I realized I used reminiscent twice in this article, lmao.

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...

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...

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...
