A few requests for genre or RIYL tags last week, so I’m gonna give it a shot here. I don’t know what to do with bands that are not quite heavy enough for hardcore and not quite screamy enough to be metalcore so I’m slapping a post hardcore label on ‘em and running away.

All singles for me, but good ones:

Charlie Simpson
Foxing
Silverstein
Royal Blood (these guys have released 4 BANGER tracks so far - can't wait for this album)

 

Eric Church
Greta Van Fleet
Holding Absence
London Grammer
The Offspring

 

Trash Boats new single - absolutely huge
The Armed - Ultrapop - also huge noise/pop/metalcore

 

Greta Van Fleet
Royal Blood

 

Holding Absence, Wild Pink and Hail the Sun. I’ll probably also give the August Burns Red B-Sides a quick gander.

 

London Grammar’s singer has one of the best voices in the indie pop space and so far this is as good as would be expected

also will check out:
Greta Van Fleet
Saint Raymond
The Brother Brothers
Young Rising Sons

 

Portugal. The Man's Oregon City Sessions is up on Spotify.

 

Recommend the new Eric Church album and also Calla Lily by The Brother Brothers, which sounds like what might happen if Good Old War made a country album.

 

Julia Stone isn't out til the end of the month. Born Ruffians, Frances, Caroline Kingsbury (has a The Killers vibe), London Grammar for me today.

 

Listening to the new Foxing single on repeat and repeat and repeat

 

COLONIAL WOUND
CANNIBAL CORPSE
FULL OF HELL
Suffocate for Fuck Sake
The Armed
Bushido Code
Intonate
Not Greta Van Fleet
Spectral Wound
Bewitcher
Endseeker
There Were Wires
Legions of War

 

Same.

 

Loved London Grammar’s early stuff but lost track. Excited to check that out!
MxPx and Wolves At The Gate singles are great!

 

New single from Brighten is solid.

 

Did you forget your caps key was on?

 

This intrigues me.

 

The vocals are quite similar. A track from it came up on my Release Radar playlist a few years ago and I thought it was a new Good Old War track for a minute or two.
