Slum Sociable's debut album was released today, pretty good stuff. Described as "jazz-hop".

 

Sincerely, Grizzly debut 'Halves' from 2014. Great angsty post-hardcore/mathy stuff.

 

Unrelated to your post but I love your avatar! And I'll listen to this during the week

Describing "Boys Will Be Boys": "Boys Will Be Boys is my attempt at making sense of society's tendency to blame the victims of sexual assault and rape and make excuses for the perpetrators. It was also my way of dealing with certain events that were occurring in my life at the time. The video itself was intended to express the burden of victim blaming and sexual assault on the victims themselves as the mundane aspects of life go on. A song is just a song but at the very least I hope it will open up difficult yet important conversations between family members, friends, government bodies, organisations and most importantly, boys and men."

Need to check out some of the stuff in this thread. Those I have heard (Gang of Youths, Alex Lahey, Courtney Barnett) I've really enjoyed.

I haven't seen them mentioned here yet, but really hoping for a new Youth Group album this year.

 

Trophy Eyes!!!
Parkway Drive
The Amity Affliction
Thy Art is Murder

 

New Ruby Boots album is great

 

Purplene just recently repressed their 2004 S/T and I strongly think they’re essential listening.

 

Slowly Slowly
Dear Seattle
Waax
Clowns
Lincoln Le Fevre

 

Young Lions. Absolutely amazing band.

 

Wow, this is really good! Remind me a lot of Emarosa.

 

I have been so obsessed with this

Are we allowed to include New Zealand? Great folk/americana band from there called Great North

 

Of course, I'll change the thread title! Great song!

 

City Calm Down
RIYL: The National

 

Stonefield - psychedelic rock band formed by four sisters

New album is out now and it's excellent

 

I just came here to say fuck Sticky Fingers.

 

The last two days have been alarming and disgraceful, that's for sure. First the interview where they were supposed to hold themselves accountable ended up being a joke, with the toxic "shit happens", "boys will be boys" mantra, and then seeing them announce tour dates today! Absolute garbage. Where's the justice here

 

Woooow. This song is stunning

 

I’ve been really into this entire album. Good stuff.
