"Modern" Music to Check Out

[Geoff]

 

 

 

 

Surprised I haven't made a thread for these guys in the past, but the ever-reliable A Day To Remember have released another fine album. It's called 'Bad Vibrations.'

 

1 - Bad Vibrations

2 - Paranoia

3 - Naivety

4 - Exposed

5 - Bullfight

6 - Reassemble

7 - Justified

8 - We Got This

9 - Same About You

10 - Turn Off The Radio

11 - Forgive And Forget

12 - Negative Space

13 - In Florida

A couple of my favourite tunes;

I was also pretty impressed with the new Crown The Empire album, 'Retrograde.' Gone are the post-hardcore screams, and what's left is actually a pretty good, catchy modern hard rock/metal disc;

1 - Sk-68

2 - Are You Coming With Me?

3 - Zero

4 - Aftermath

5 - Hologram

6 - The Fear Is Real

7 - Lucky Us

8 - Weight Of The World

9 - Signs Of Life

10 - Oxygen

11 - Kaleidoscope

 

I am liking the new ADTR album but it's nowhere near as good as 'Homesick'

 

 

Nah, to be honest it's one of their weaker recent albums, but I do find them very reliable even when they're not at their absolute best. I'd put it behind 'Homesick,' 'Common Courtesy' and 'What Separates me from you.'

 

But, considering they're all 80%+ albums in my eyes, it's hardly a bad thing.

 

Agreed

 

Good band although I think they would be even better if they toned down a lot of the screaming , their best songs are the ones with no screams IMO

 

That Crown the empire looks interesting , will check that one out

 

 

To be honest, I didn't expect a single scream on the ADTR disc, considering the direction they seemed to be heading in on recent albums. I agree they're better without them.

Not sure if this band is covered on this thread. Anyway here s a good song...

[Mr.AOR]

Really like this,seems this lot released an album last year which this track isn't on so might have to check this lot out further.

this song is hard to miss constantly on the radio, but I love it, and I've been checking out remixes of it too, they're great!

 

The Weeknd & Daft Punk - Starboy (Kygo remix)

 

 

 

Starboy (Amateon Remix)

I think this thread is dedicated to "Modern" Rock.

 

Anyway, I love Daft Punk, and I love The Weeknd, but when I first heard "Starboy" I thought, what part of this is Daft Punk? It doesn't really sound like Daft Punk. However, when I heard "I Feel It Coming" I was like, this is Daft Punk! Sure enough I was right. Now that song I absolutely adore!!

I have thought about this idea but figured most people just don't care and the ones that do already take notice. I'll add the best to this thread if it stays alive, but to begin with a few essentials I couldn't live without, and that I think everyone should hear are:

 

Cauterize

http://www.myspace.com/cauterized

 

Change of Pace

http://www.myspace.com/achangeofpace

 

Just Surrender

http://www.myspace.com/justsurrenderrock

 

Hedley

http://www.myspace.com/hedley

 

Funeral for a Friend (especially 'Tales don't tell themselves'):

http://www.myspace.com/funeralforafriend

 

Yellowcard (especially 'Paper Walls')

http://www.myspace.com/yellowcard

 

Story of the Year

http://www.myspace.com/storyoftheyear

This made me laugh. Not because of the bands listed, but because of all those MySpace links. ;}

 

Remember when that was​ a thing?

Brand New is an American rock band. They have released 4 albums till date. I checked their songs on YouTube but didn't really like most of them. I would say the song I have posted on this thread is their best and the only one I like.

Oh lol, sorry, I missed that it was Brand New. Yeah, I think I've heard most of their album but I agree, they're not very good. I still have 'Your favourite weapon' somewhere, but I can't even think of a song from it.

[Geoff]

This isn't superb, but I think it's pretty cool.

 

 

01. Three Years

02. Sam and Dean

03. Stage Dives & Pick Slides

04. Do You Even Hear Yourself? (feat. Maggie Schneider)

05. Worse for Wear

06. Always Been You

07. Atlanta

08. Just Another Stranger

09. Awake

10. Take Two

11. Wish You Well

I particularly like this very catchy but sentimental little ditty;

But the rest is more like this;

[Geoff]

Decent EP released this year:

 

 

1 - Old Flame

2 - Anatomy of Defeat

3 - We Hardly Exist (feat. Casey Smith)

4 - Getting Close

5 - Tongue Tied (feat. Amber Peroni-Muse)

6 - Visions

Or this, for the whole thing;

[Geoff]

I wasn't going to post this one, but there's some pretty good songs on this one, alongside some average ones. Make up your own mind, I guess. I think there's bits to like here;

 

 

1 - Grey Goose

2 - Glory Daze

3 - Here, Now, Forever

4 - Bad Habit

5 - Something Isn't Right

6 - Hate Me, Love Me

7 - Charm City

8 - Dynamite

9 - Unconditionally

10 - Fractals

11 - Punch Drunk

12 - Fool's Gold

13 - You Never Will

[Geoff]

I'm surprised I haven't mentioned these guys before. They've been releasing good albums for quite a while now. Their latest is called 'All These Countless Nights' and whilst it's not amazing, it'll appeal to people who like what's become of Young Guns.

 

 

1 - Ashes, Ashes

2 - Trigger

3 - L.O.V.E

4 - Happiness

5 - Fever

6 - Like a Ghost

7 - Pretty Low

8 - England

9 - Seattle

10 - St. Paul's

11 - Sing

12 - Pensacola, 2013

13 - Cassiopeia (Bonus Track)

Some really fine songwriting on display on this album;

The album;

I've actually not heard their debut myself, but if you like this check out their other stuff. My introduction to the band was 'Fools & Worthless Liars,' which I think is a very nice album.

2009 - Meet Me Halfway, at Least

2011 - Fools and Worthless Liars

2013 - Old Souls

2017 - All These Countless Nights

[Geoff]

And I personally like this one.

 

 

1 - Feel

2 - 2000 Miles (feat. Will Pugh)

3 - Fall

4 - Vice Advice

5 - Sounds Like You

6 - Down Low

[Geoff]

These guys have been around for a while too, and the new album isn't perfect, but it's got some good stuff on it.

 

 

1 - Giving It Up

2 - California

3 - Wired

4 - For You

5 - Midnight

6 - Better Off Without You

7 - Falling In Love

8 - Lucky Me

9 - Saviour

10 - Come Back Around

11 - Mother

This is one of the absolute best songs I have heard this year so far;

I love this one too;

There's fillers on this album, but it's not bad. Here's one of the singles from it;

Yep awesome song.

 

As I was listening it reminded me of another California song. This...

 

Atherton - California

 

[Geoff]

zomfg, I love 'Laguna Beach!' As for the songs, I think I prefer the Mallory Knox one.

[Gotthardline]

The Everyday anthem sound pretty cool , must definitely check that out and the Suburbia story ones sound nice too

 

I've tried to get into Mallory Knox but can't for some reason

Those two are good catchy releases.

 

I'm not overall a fan of Mallory Knox either, and don't like their previous albums. This one is still patchy as hell, but the good songs (there are only a handful of them) are much better than before. I love the good songs off it. But they're limited.

[Gotthardline]

I stumbled upon these guys recently and i am really liking what i hear , a bit of too close to touch in their sound although a bit heavier

Not bad, I think they'd be a lot better if they lost the alternate, screamo vocals and just left it with the primary vocalist

[Mr.AOR]

From the album 'Waves' due out June 3rd.....

Nice tune

[Geoff]

The both sound great - Secrets and Life Awaits. I'll check out both. Jeez that Secrets band sounds familiar. I thought it was the product of Namesake disbandoning but I don't believe it is.
