track of the year

 

[Tenshi]

Stream Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift both dropping on October 21st

(Seriously carly my gal what are you doing, thats market suicide dropping on the day of a tswift album)

 

[Morkal]

Really underrated melodeath band; this song especially still slaps over a decade later (the album came out in 2008, ignore the 2018 Youtube upload date)

 

[Buckert]

My all time favourite band is about to release their 7th album, the song below the latest released single. If you know bands like this one, feel free to share!

 

[Morkal]

Russian Hardstyle Trap Metal
This rules so hard, and I cannot explain why

 

[KaylaPops]

I'm really into listening to Gorillaz, Guns N' Roses, Slash, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Linkin Park and Blink-182 right now.

 

[Morkal]

My favorite band Black Veil Brides dropped their new EP and it rules
I absolutely love when they dip into their melodic metalcore roots

 

[Choice Specs Heracross]

I'm really into listening to Gorillaz, Guns N' Roses, Slash, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Linkin Park and Blink-182 right now.

Those are some pretty good bands right there (sans Aerosmith)

Me and my sister have this tradition where we play Pokémon games together and we like to SR to get decent IV Pokémon to play through the game with. Anyway, we’ve been playing Colo/XD respectively and listening to tunes in the background coz of Pokemonotony. So over the past couple of days it’s been a mix of Nirvana, Radiohead, Coldplay, the Killers, the Arctic Monkeys, Linkin Park, MCR and A7X.

[Mr. Uncompetitive]

Been hopping around Punk subgenres lately, trying out and really digging Twee Pop. Tiger Trap's Self-Titled album is currently living rent free in my head

If any of yall got Twee Pop recs lemme know !_! (or Post-Punk, Noise Pop, Dream Pop / Shoegaze stuff as per usual)

 

[Ooba Dooba]

 

[antemortem]

Bronze Avery just dropped an immensely fire debut album, first 7 songs are incredible in sequence, visuals are also stunning

 

[Astra]

1. Kilo Kish — AMERICAN GURL

you're so fucking real for this, i'm appalled that this album is barely talked about online

 

[MrE]

This came out at the start of the year and I've still yet to hear something that tops this song and album.

 

[Aurella]

 

[Buckert]

After Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), this guy has the best voice in the world. I'll be seeing Volbeat this evening, live

 

[antemortem]

what’s y’all’s favs from the new SZA? i created a separate playlist because I just can’t with 23 tracks lol it’s so unwieldy

first and last quarters of the album are absolute fire, “Kill Bill” is giving Eminem’s “Stan” energy, except it’s not a white dude killing his wife

nobody gets me is stunning, im a sucker for like a mid-tempo, early 2000s “coming of age”-esque song and it just hits the spot for me, I’ll need to sit with the album a little longer to digest but that was my biggest standout

 

[Morkal]

This wasn't one of my favorites from their new album at first, but it grew on me

 

[Morkal]

Some fun melodic metalcore -

 

[bruno]

my favs of the year

1- I Didn't Mean To Haunt You
2- Actual Life 3 - actually the album sucks but the boiler room (boiler room: london) is just the album but 10x better
3 - The Forever Story
4- Caprisongs - honda may be my most listened song tbh just most of the songs lost their touch after a lot of relistening, but this is just one of those albums you can go back to after a while and itll feel fresh and fun again
5- Ants From Up There

s/o to the beyoncé, the denzel and dvrst

 

[Morkal]

My favorite band for the last 10+ years; one of my favorite newer songs of theirs
