Y'all should really check out Beachheads!
https://beachheads.bandcamp.com/
Project with former Kvelertak band members. But totally not metal. More in the lines of indierock/powerpop. Anyways, it's pretty great.

I am loving the new Cloud Nothings album.
I love the indie type of Pop-rock/pop-rock so maybe that have something to do with that, but I am enjoying this album massively. So catchy and devoid of fillers.
Wavves album later this year so it should be a good year for that kind of music.

New Cloud Nothings is safe and pretty boring. New Japandroids is good. New Menzingers is solid.
Yeah his past three records have been great might see them as well.

This young Dutch band called Mich is really exciting. Though young might not be the best description, they're a couple of guys from different bands that found each other during some jam sessions. Tapping into a bit of shoegaze but also more 80's kind of sound.

pristine morning snow
King Gizzard releasing five interconnected albums this year 😨
The one from last year was fun but exhausting to listen to more than a couple times. These dudes might need to reign in the excess soon.

Thats their shtick really. and I don't see them stopping anytime soon. At least their fans know what they are into.

Yeah Menace Beach one is fantastic.
I am enjoying Cloud Nothings' new record. Its not their best work, but it feels lighter and more twee than their previous ones, and which I enjoy on the surface. Its not gonna win any awards thats for sure.
The Japandroids one is rubbish IMO. Just the same old songs played 10 times.

Never listened to Xiu Xiu or Dirty Projectors before but both have new albums out soon and their singles caught my ear. What's a good place to start with them?

My favourite Xiu Xiu album is probably Knife Play but they have great stuff all across their 15 year or so output so I'd recommend checking out everything

more new mount eerie...
"What was you is now burnt bones
and I cannot be at home.
Im running. Grief flailing."
Damn.

Bitte Orca for Dirty Projectors.
Xiu Xiu, fabulous muscles is probably a good starting point.
Finally got the Priests album this week and damn does it rock. Real stylistic leap forward from their shorter releases which ultimately brings it to the sound of classic punk. Some X-Ray Spex, some Clash, some James Chance-y no wave funk. "JJ" and "No Big Bang" and "Suck" are highlights. Love it.
That and Julie Byrne's record are all that've really stuck with me so far this year, I've mostly been listening to older stuff lately. Anyone listen to Half Japanese? I've liked 1/2 Gentlemen for years but only just started going through those reissues of their catalog. Such a great band, ton of fun. I think my favorite so far is their second album, Loud. Great cover of the Doors' "Spy" and noise rock sketches like "Loud/Louder/Loudest". best entry point of the early stuff is probably #3 though, Our Solar System. Classic lo-fi garage punk songs like "Knocked Down on the Dance Floor, covers of the velvets and 13th floor elevators. Wish I'd started with those instead of the triple LP (basically quadruple LP in the reissue) debut album, lol

I kinda forgot that the new Orwells record is dropping tomorrow. Anyone hear any of the new tracks?
Seen them twice, Fantastic live band indeed!
Not planning on skipping them, as a matter of fact just put on last years record 10 minutes ago
Farid, get your ticket son.
I am doing my best, bro.

Well, they are kinda solid. Like all of the Orwells stuff, I guess. Nothing to mindblowing but if you like garage rock you will have fun with them. Buddy is really good the rest is a bit bland.
Wow. They are GOOD.
The EP is really nice imo.
I actually would say they're still a very good band, it's just that Sung Tongs, Feels, Strawberry Jam, Merriweather Post Pavillion was such an insane run that a let down was inevitable. Centipede was still really good I thought. Painting With was the first mediocre one.

Loving the new Strand of Oaks album. Showalter continues to put out great albums. I love that he's not afraid to step outside the box a little bit.
Wasn't feeling it at all

Spotify's discover playlist introduced me to Pumarosa last month. Even though most of the playlists are garbage, they keep me hooked for the occasional gem. Looks like Pumarosa released a new single "Dragonfly" today too.
Molly Burch just put out her first album and I love it.
Quite good if you want something to chill with: https://mollyburch.bandcamp.com/

Also the new The Courtneys is out speaking of really good records.
You can download Helath new remix album for free by them. and its good. The Purity Ringsvare OK, but the rest are all great!
