I've listened to Mutual Benefit's new album, Skip a Sinking Stone probably seven or eight times this week, it's perfect for this time of year and where I'm at this summer. Can't wait to see them tonight.
So I spent the second semester of college this year living with a guy who's a hardcore metalhead/biker. Now this lad is into some really heavy, demonic, evil sounding music, but as a result of my living with him for a few months I ended up looking into (much softer) rock music again. Which is refreshing. For the past few years it's been mostly house/dance music for me. "PUP" is a punk band I found online. Some of my favourite tracks include DVP and Dark Days. And I actually have no clue what genre this would be. They're called "Alarmist". Experimental Rock maybe? They're a couple of lads from Wicklow here in Ireland, and they're really great anyway. Whatever they are.
That PUP album is one of the best releases this year across any genre. 30 minutes of unrelenting angst.
Meet Me In St. Louis - Variations on Swing Intensely technical and chaotic punk from the UK. Honestly one of my favorite albums from the last 10 years.
And there's this as well : The Dr. Seuss version
I just realized this week that I really haven't been listening to music period, which really feels odd when I'm just sitting alone in my room doing menial tasks. I was thinking back to AshleyR suggesting Soilwork's (then) latest album "The Ride Majestic". I've been a huge Soilwork fan for a long time. Anyone have similar suggestions to them? Oddly enough, I think aside from Scar Symmetry, I don't have much of a background in melodic death metal. On the other side of the spectrum, Trevor Hall is always a good go-to for me. He's AMAZING in concert. Back to You has been stuck in my head for a bit now. I've read some article(s) that his latest album is nice for yoga sessions, perhaps it'd be worth the look, OftenBen? He's got some nice "feel good" music on the whole, but, hey, whatever works. Also, I got some backstory on a couple songs off his latest album from when he visited Orlando. :D
