  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...

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...

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...
