Favourite Person by Reveal Party
https://forlagetkornmod.bandcamp.com/album/favourite-person Genre: Indie Pop Rating: Highest Recommendations released March 10, 2023 I feel like I’ve been looking for something to review for too long. I’m really trying to be a bit stingier with my ratings but I simply can’t deny that this is a flawless pop record top to bottom no skips.

Glossover by Afternoon Bike Ride
https://afternoonbikeride.bandcamp.com/album/glossover Genre: Soft Rock Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 4/5 Stars released February 10, 2023 Glossover sets out to be an intelligent but easy listen and ABR achieves that artistic goal. They borrow heavily from a lot of what’s best in recent musical trends and put together an album that’s sort of like if LanaContinue reading “Glossover by Afternoon Bike Ride”
Wilds by The Soundcarriers
https://the-soundcarriers.bandcamp.com/album/wilds Genre: Indie Pop Rating: Recommended 2022 If you’ve never heard this band before I recommend starting with their earlier material. They took quite a while since their previous release and while the song writing and vocals are both extremely strong I like the way the older stuff is recorded better. This album has aContinue reading “Wilds by The Soundcarriers”

https://revengefrommars.bandcamp.com/album/rfm-ep Genre: Alternative Rock Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 8, 2022 One track on this, Bongo, has a release date of 2014, so based on that and the way this thing sounds I’m figuring they’ve been curating these six songs for the last eight years. Usually, with bands like this, that have a smallContinue reading “RFM EP by Revenge from Mars”
we might be dead, we might be flowers by They Drove Us From the Garden
https://theydroveusfromthegarden.bandcamp.com/album/we-might-be-dead-we-might-be-flowers Genre: Post Rock Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 1, 2022 I love the name of the band and the album. I love the album cover. What can we make out of a band that sounds exactly like Explosions in the Sky? Explosions in the Sky, along with Napalm Death, are the two mostContinue reading “we might be dead, we might be flowers by They Drove Us From the Garden”
Sly Bay by Lilac Welles
https://lilacwelles.bandcamp.com/album/sly-bay Genre: Indie Rating: 5/5 released on bandcamp October 22, 2021 Yesterday, I went through a surreal rabbit hole of listening to fragment after fragment of every new wave band ever looking for a song that I think I may have only heard in my dreams and might not exist at all. It’s VERY unusualContinue reading “Sly Bay by Lilac Welles”
