Music Discovery New Years Resolution Continues

So if I can embed Spotify urls into wordpress, then I can share things I’ve been listening to as part of my New Years Resolution to find new bands to listen to.

From Boston, MA we have Mean Creek whose Local Losers record is a current favorite.

The big winner so far is a Scottish band called The Twilight Sad. They are a little bit… what’s the word… gothier? Maybe? A little bit gothier than I usually go for, but the album Nobody Wants to be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave has wormed its way into my brain and it absolutely will not go away.

More to come later.

Music Discovery Update

My New Years resolution to find new bands to worship is well under way.  While I haven’t come across anything that is life alteringly amazing yet, I have found some really cool sounding bands.

I said I’d keep everyone updated, so here’s a couple of things to listen to.

This band is from Boston and I found them on the WMBR Pipeline! podcast.  Pretty cool, and just a little proggie.

Moniker

This band is from Scottland.  Pretty straight forward stuff, but really great melodies.

The Twilight Sad

I’m not sure what to make of this band.  I listened to most of this album (on spotify… I’m sorry) and it’s… weird.  In a completely chaotic crazy way.  This band apparently has been around for a while, or they date back to the 90’s but split up and reformed more recently.  Something like that.  The jury is still out on them, but they were the first thing I came across that I wanted to listen to a second time.

Swans

I will continue to keep the entire universe up to date on my search for new bands to get excited about.

Even though no one on Earth actually cares.
