August Round Up


Eyyo folk, round and round we go. This year's been wacky as hell and music has been a nice vessle to some sense of normalcy amidst everything. There's a lot of different tastes in this month's round up but I'll be going over just a few of em. Let's go!




One of the reasons I love post hardcore so much is when bands have a powerful and moving clean vocalist that can carry melodies amongst the musical chaos. Shreddy Krueger has been big on my playlists lately and Heathen is a prime example of why I enjoy them so much. In Ruin is my most listened but I think Heathen is my favorite vocally. I get some nice Periphery vibes.




I'll be honest, I'm not a big listener of The Fall of Troy. I certainly appreciate their older work and F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X gained mass appeal so they're definitely something special. I randomly flipped through their newest release and stumbled upon this song and it's absolutely wonderful. The progression and rawness was enough for me to give the whole album a listen. 




Oooh this band feels like a warm summer breeze flowing through my hair. You know that slightly poppy 2010 pop punk/hardcore vibe? Lonely Avenue encompasses those nostalgic feelings so well but bring a nice freshness to the plate. Songs like All My Friends Are Lost At Sea and New Beginnings are excellent as well. I forgot to mention, I noticed something about the header song. Tilian from DGD has his own material and the drum intro to Hold On is nearly identical in this songs intro. 




Vein is right up there with Knocked Loose imo. They bring their own sound but give that sweet hardcore feel with some metalcore elements in the mix. In some aspects they even sound like a heavier Glassjaw, although I think I still prefer their style over Veins. 




I got this one from a youtube video I watched a few weeks ago. I've always enjoyed Craigs contributions to the scene but his ego and lifestyle definitely taints the music to a slight degree. Pre Dance Gavin Dance, Jonny Craig was a part of Ghost Runner On Third. It's quite a bop, and was ahead of its time and has the best mid 2000's feel to it.


Honorable Mentions:


Thousand Below- Sinking Me

Between The Buried & Me- Voice Of Trespass

Niiice.- My Floor

Dogleg- Kawasaki Backflip


August Playlist


As always, I hope you enjoyed! I'm continuously working on new playlists and listening to music in general, and I hope to continue to post here at least twice a month! Peace

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

November Round Up

Damn I'm late Hey y'all! It's roundup time. Apologies in advance as this'll be a fairly quick post but there's still been a nice rotation of songs this month. Let's jump right into things! Driveways- October Forever (album) Where do I start with this one? Driveways has found a way to blend multiple styles within their own style and make it sound superb. You have elements of pop punk, emo, R&B, and easycore. Songs like Contours and Fifteen Over Five sound like Neck Deep. October Forever sounds just like an A Day To Remember song. Contradictions & Perennials have some nice guitar work and lyrical punch like Tiny Moving Parts. It's hard to not really just love how well they've blended it all together. If you're into the R&B aspect more Sleep Paralysis is also really well put together. Fu Manchu- Evil Eye I'm usually not a big fan of the droning sounds of stoner rock, but Fu Manchu has just the right amount of ene
