About This Blog

 

There's a pretty good chance that you stumbled upon this blog accidentally. If that's the case then I welcome you to read a bit about what's going on here.


I began this blog back in February 2020 as a way to physically (virtually) post playlists that I make via Youtube Music. I've always been really into compiling playlists and lining music up that can flow into one another nicely. As well as making playlists, I'm always looking out for new music to discover and share with people. I'd like to say that I like a bit of everything mostly although I can easily get caught up in 2 or 3 genres for months on end. I try to not reflect that on my posts by coming up with random ways to put music together. Album grab bins, appreciation posts, bands of the month etc.

One of the main issues I come across is my ability to write about the music I'm trying to share. It's difficult to describe music beyond its sound, and to stuff a description with too many adjectives seems elementary. I think this is something that'll come with time and I've already set the rule that I won't post something to just post it. I'm not the type to advertise something that I do if I'm not trying to do it professionally. Everything here is genuine and music I post is music I've listened to and enjoy.


About Myself


Just a dude mostly. I make electronics and love cats, especially my cat. I spend my nights attempting to play my massive backlog of video games but usually end up on YouTube. When it comes to music I'm mostly in love with Post Hardcore (90's, early-mid 00's, 2015-current). A lot of artists tend to have more than one genre to them, or switch styles during their career. It's something I don't try to overthink as I see a lot of gatekeeping when it comes to defending which band is in what genre. I grew up starting out with bands like Nsync and the like, but got into rock around the age of 8. Bands like Switchfoot and Rise Against were some of the earliest introductions for me. Contemporary yes, but still great. Around this time I got into heavier artists like Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot. This as well as growing up with an older cousin sparked a big dive into metal throughout my teens. Big loves to this day are sub genres like Thrash, Death/Deathcore, and Metalcore. I enjoy the more old school artists like Dream Theater, Megadeth, and Metallica etc but I don't listen to them frequently anymore. I'd say over the last 5 years of my life I've mostly listened to Post Hardcore, Indie/Emo, and Pop Punk the most. 


I'm not sure what else to say but I hope that you enjoy going through my content!

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...
