New Rock Roundup
Rock
YUNGBLUD – Zombie.
A beautiful slow number from the artist that is certainly moving away from being just a fleabag… Honestly this gets even more catchy the more you listen to it!
Special Mention: Rise Against – I Want It All .
Metal
Avatar – Captain Goat.
A band that I have never really enjoyed live… But that doesn’t stop this being a really cool metal sea shanty! Well done to Cozzer for mentioning it in last weeks tunes!
Special Mention:Woe, Is Me – Devil In My Mind .
Metalcore
After Hour Animals – Bad Dream.
A cracking clean vocalist , and really solid breakdown section too. It is the first time I’ve ever heard the Wisconsin band but it wont be the last!
Special Mention: The Amity Affliction – All That I Remember.
Punk
Special Features – Che Guevara T-Shirt.
Yeah this was a special mention last week… It’s my feature i’m going to do what I want! I love how defiant this song is, the Aussie band a one to watch I think.
Special Mention: Pig Pen – Rabid Beach.
Pop Punk
Free Friends – Toxic Trait.
Somehow feeling fresh in a genre that usually has its sound confined to the usual same old same old. Not to mention its really fun!
Special Mention: Youth Fountain – Tarnish.
Alternative
The Gravedigger’s Son – Self Inflicted Wounds.
When I saw only 400 monthly listeners on Spotify I thought it was a joke. A cruel joke. The dark broody vibes of this song , with the fuzz of the guitar… This isn’t just getting added to the playlist its going into my liked songs!
Special Mention: Errands – Smile.
Indie
Foxwarren – Deadhead.
I really like the playful nature of the guitar as well as the harmonization of the singing in various points. The song doesn’t remain confined to its lane and that’s what I enjoy the most about it.
Special Mention: Artesan – Bloodstain.
