Some songs grab you instantly, while others slowly pull you in and don't let go. Indie/shoegaze that gradually teases a hugely cathartic chorus 👇

Apparently I missed the music blog buzz around WU LYF when they put out their only other album 15 years ago. They described themselves as 'heavy pop'. I'd describe this as soulful, indie rock. Singer has a kinda gravelly Chuck Ragan quality.

Remember "Bohemian Like You"? Well, The Dandy Warhols covering The Damned sounds nothing like it. But I dig it anyway.

'Shrinking' has been one of my favorite current TV shows since its first season, but the newest episode had me full on DOUBLED OVER 🤣 👏👏👏 Ted McGinley 🫡 Well done, sir.

🎶 "WE BUILT THIS COUNTRY TOO SO WHY THE F--- WOULD WE GO BACK?" 🎸 Xenophobia sucks. UK rap-punk 👇

"JCMF" is highly cathartic and lyrically quite relatable right now

If the FCC thinks you shouldn't watch it, and CBS thinks you shouldn't watch it, but Stephen Colbert posts it anyway, you should probably watch it.

Their 'COLD 2 THE TOUCH' full-length is out today. Angel Du$t are NOT a pop-punk band, but as far as hardcore punk goes this album is super poppy. And to be clear, I mean that as a compliment.

One of the Say Anything dudes reminding me of old New Order, but a touch more rockin' @gaymeat.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAnw...

I feel like I mostly post heavy music, but here's some earwormy, mellow indie folk/pop I just found

IYL Turnstile...

Silversun Pickups has a song on their new album called "New Wave". It doesn't have anything in common with Against Me!'s song "New Wave", but it does remind me of when they toured together. 🖤

I hear the answer to 'What if the Mastodon songs sung by Brann Dailor sounded a bit more punk?' Also... since I have my fair share of Boston/MA friends... these guys are from Beantown. 💪

"It's our blood and bones and whistles and phones Against Miller and Noem's dirty lies."

LASHING OUT THE ACTION RETURNING A REACTION WEAK ARE RIPPED AND TORN A... oh wait this is a different song? I still like it though 😅 www.brooklynvegan.com/the-s-e-t-ex...

I finally bought a physical copy of BASK's 'The Turning' a few weeks ago. Can't stop listening to it. It's majestic and brilliant.

Did you catch that revised food pyramid from Secretary Brainworm? I just wanted to make sure you've eaten enough 🧀 today 🤣 angusmcsix.bandcamp.com/track/the-fi...

This new @weakenedfriends track is very solid. 90's alt-rock vibes, bit of emo... They're a co-ed power trio I saw open for @laurajanegrace a few years back weakenedfriends.bandcamp.com/track/smoke-...

One tragedy, two presidents. Every day is a new rock bottom.

I forget how I first discovered Creeper, but they delivered another great one with 'Sanguivore II'. Heavy rock/metal with touches of goth atmosphere (and a ton of goth subject matter) and a side of Broadway theatrics. Very fun. creeperband.bandcamp.com/album/sangui...

😍😍😍

The alt/indie band I know the least about relative to how much music news appears on my feed is Geese. So let's stream 'Getting Killed' and see what all the fuss is about.

I'm probably late to the party on this... but Coroner is back? And sounding pretty solid, too. coronerofficial.bandcamp.com/album/disson...

I'm a sucker for a great cover song Los Viejos doing The Cure losviejos.bandcamp.com/track/a-fore...

@rilokileyofficial.bsky.social 🙌

💔 💔💔 💿 At The Gates 'Slaughter of the Soul' p.s. 🖕cancer

Dissociating from reality through music today. The metal column in which I found this album described BASK as progressive/sludge, but I don't think that's accurate. Their bandcamp bio uses the phrase "Heavy Americana". Opeth or Katatonia meets My Morning Jacket? basknc.bandcamp.com/album/the-tu...

They definitely made it sound like an SOAD song! www.loudersound.com/news/system-...

I've been following Mastodon since the 'Lifesblood' EP arrived in the mail during my college radio days. Brent and Mastodon went their separate ways earlier this year, and there had been bad blood. But this should not have been the end of his story. 💔

Are you like me? Do you wish Wet Leg was more punk rock? Then Panic Shack might be for you. panicshack.bandcamp.com/album/panic-...

Amon Amarth opening for Pantera in Minneapolis tonight!

I'm getting late 90s Dimmu Borgir vibes from this. sepulchreband.bandcamp.com/album/psalms...

Somehow it snuck by me during my New Music Friday listening, but the new The Dirty Nil album 'The Lash' RIPS. thedirtynil.com

R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne 😭🦇🖤

Nice. I'm about halfway through season 1 and it's a fun show.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

It’s intolerable that Minnesota Democrats not only has to endure the brutal murder of political leaders, but the far-right faction that did it insists that we somehow did it to ourselves. Our society cannot operate inside the ocean of lies that Musk and his neo-Nazi cronies have created

These days, I'm having a hard time looking at any social media platform for more than 30 seconds without seeing news that makes my skin crawl. But there's a very important weekend ahead. Every American has a constitutional right to protest. Every ~person~ has a right to the due process of law.

Today's discovery. Gritty, clever, and badass punk from The Good The Bad And The Zugly www.youtube.com/watch?v=apvW...

Occasionally, I still wander the wilds of the web for new underground metal. If 'Hammerheart' by Bathory means anything to you... lampofmurmuur.bandcamp.com/album/in-the...

Saw ‘The Phoenician Scheme’ today. It was good-ish okay. But I feel like it was a 90-minute version of one of Margot Tenenbaum’s plays mixed with the fake Wes Anderson trailer that SNL did like 10 years ago.

I hope I get to see Turnstile on tour behind this new album. I have a feeling seeing and hearing the transition between "NEVER ENOUGH" and "SOLE" will be

Nice.

Happy Pride to all my LGBT+ friends and fellow allies 🌈

Dream DO come true. \m/ #music #metalsky #legends #mastodon #lambofgod youtu.be/zuSKaNByGPc?...

The Alarm had a ton of great songs. They should have been huge. RIP Mike Peters Do yourself a favor and listen to the 'Declaration' LP today.

KC friends... since my family moved I can't use these tickets. Good seats, too. Left balcony, 5th row, and cheaper than TM's standard admission. If you or someone you know is looking for Nick Cave tickets in KC, please spread the word. my.ticketmaster.com/ds/vQGAAjNSy...
