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...

"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...
