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, but there's some really good content that has old school influences and I love it. The Magnificent Sycophant is another really nice song and it's much more groovy and even alternative sounding which is a nice switch up.

Cut Both Ways- The Road

Oooh this is some nice heavy stuff that was a catalyst for a playlist I'm working on. Cold is another absolute banger and expect both songs to be on the aforementioned playlist!

Honorable Mentions:

Dude Japan- Horseshoe Crab

Variant- Qualia

Void Of Vision- Kill All Of My Friends

I'm quite disappointed in the lack of posts so far this year, but I've got plenty of ideas for posts. A lot of my music related activities has been playlist building lately. I've been working on a couple as well as beefing up some of the one's I've posted previously. Anywho, keep an eye out here or on the Facebook Page for more content! FB page gets random songs and shared posts a few times a week!

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...
