I thought I'd like these guys and even thought they'd previously released decent tunes, but I didn't like this one at all.

Solid album, but not a keeper, imo.

Checking out Wilmette asap, an older album from Landless (hoping that new song is released on an album asap, though!). Last one is pretty solid too. 

[Geoff]

Really not sure what happened here as I keep tabs on these guys, but I feel like I missed their last album - 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood.' I am , of course, speaking of Ice Nine Kills. A band, like I say, I've kept tabs on, but never been overly into. So maybe I did skip the last album. Not entirely sure.

But that won't last long. By pure accident I came across a reaction video to this song the other day and this album (if only for just this song) is now on my urgent hit list. This is huge - absolutely love this thing-

Some very nice tunes i have been listening to. Some new, some from previous years. 

Taking Back Sunday - 152

 

The Young Hearts - Hit The Ground Running (EP) 

 

 

Between You & Me - Armageddon(2021) 

 

Gold Steps - That Ain't It (2022) 

 

 

Broadside - Hotel Bleu

What a beautiful song! 

 

The Plot In You - Left Behind(single) 

One of the best songs I have heard this year. Killer! 

 

Rain City Drive - Frozen (Single) 

Another killer... 

 

[Geoff]

Yeah, that'd be my favourite tune on the new TBS record. Nice tune... wish there were a few more killer cuts on the new album, though, to be honest. 

Man, I love that The Young Hearts stuff. Where'd you find that one? Seems way obscure. Will be checking it out asap. 

Between You & Me and Gold Steps both very nice albums / EP. 

Yeah, 'Bleu' is my favourite song on that new Broadside album. Album was a bit of a surprise - was expecting a more "rocking" affair, but they're a class band and it's another class album. 

That The Plot in You song is immense. Hope there's an album with that on it coming out soon. I'm not sure of my history with that band, but I must check up on it. Didn't realise that was the dude from Before Their Eyes. 

Rain City Drive = all class. 

[Geoff]

Oh, and another pretty decent recent release;

Nowhere Left     -    Places We Couldn't Belong

1    .    Hurt The Same
2    .    Substance
3    .    These Bones (feat. Lø Spirit)
4    .    My Mistake
5    .    Broken Story
6    .    Disguise
7    .    You Don't Even Think About Me (feat. Boys Of Fall)
8    .    I Know Better
9    .    Breathe Underwater
10    .    Phantoms (feat. COLE)

 

 

Dude thinks he's busting hip hop rhymes, lol;

I was listening to a band on Spotify and was just randomly going through the band's playlist and there was the song Famous Last words. Had never heard of them before. Loved it from first listen. So did a little research work and found out that their debut album came out in 2021. Haven't checked that out yet.

Nice find. Their new album is due out on 1st of December - 'Somewhere through the night.' Definitely one to bookmark.
