July Roundup


Hey y'all! It's that time once again. Another month down and it's time to post my monthly playlist for July. This month has been chaotic as well as a starting point for other playlists such as my last post on EDM. Anywho lets dive in now!






I know it's quite surprising to have another Swancore artist at the top of my roundup, but Properties of Nature are smooth and I've been stuck singing along to Sorry Excuse as well as Giraffulo. Their sound and vibes they give off could be heavily associated with A Lot Like Birds although ALLB are more technical instrumentally. 






Oh yeah, another one. While Happy Hour would also be considered Swancore, they sound much more similar to DGD than Properties of Nature. On a side note I absolutely love that quick drum intro. If you're a fan of Jon Mess the song Dreamcast Trash will give you some sweet vibes as well. 






Downswing is pure excellence and their execution slaps. Head bopping hardcore from NY. One thing I think is unique for Downswing is their potential to appeal to a slightly wider audience than just the hardcore or post hardcore etc. scenes. I feel like they could be played on the radio.






I can't really give much info about this band because I can't find really anything other than their content. There was a popular band in the 80's called The City so Google refuses to acknowledge that there's another band with such a broad generic name. I'll just say peep Wanderlust since they're actually pretty damn good and the fact that I can't find info on them makes it intriguing.






Glass Tides has some pretty good material, but my favorite is a cover of a Michelle Branch song. The bands main material is similar to Citizen and Can't Swim in vibe. Freedom was the song I was going to originally put but that cover is phenomenal.





Eidyia is a band that I found randomly when they dropped their first and only album back in 2016. I'm surprised they were so shortly lived as their music is heavy and so well composed. I highly recommend checking out the whole album as it's quite a ride.


Honorable Mentions:





Thanks for peepin' as always! I hope you enjoyed. I'm having fun wrapping things up at the end of each month and building playlists, so expect more!

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...
