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...

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...

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...
