"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 really loved is Adventurer; they just released an album that's definitely worth checking out. Solstice brings some old school The Used sounding vocals with that sweet symphonic progressive sound that a lot of these bands nail. Animal Jam is another great one, check them out as well!


I neglected to post a roundup for April, and there was a lot of music worth sharing. Origami Angel released a new album; if you go back to last year you'll see I did an album review on their last release (they're that good, I've only done a couple actual reviews on here). Kaonashi is some sick ass Philly Hardcore (self described as Emo Mathcore); and their newest album brings so much heat and makes me hyped for live shows again. 


Needless to say there's a shit load of music always releasing, and so many artists that deserve to have their works listened to. I think I'll post here sporadically in the future but for now the move is to keep making playlists (may post on here), reviews if I ever feel the ambition on certain albums, and continuing to post on the FB page. Thanks for checking the blog and reading this wall of text. This obviously isn't the last post here but like I prefaced this post with, I'll only post when I have something worth posting here.


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...

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...
