New albums

Melvins are about as heavy as I get, and even then it's really just Houdini and Stoner Witch, which is pretty light compared to a lot of their other stuff (and just about everything you guys have been talking about).

Dang, now I need to put on Houdini.

@peccary always stoked to see someone mention Life Without Buildings. Huge record.

Yeah, they had been popping up on my Spotify playlists here and there and I was digging them big time. I wanted to do a deep dive and discovered that they had only one studio album. It's hard to complain, though, since it is so solid from start to finish.

@FrendanBraser I was re-reading this thread to get some recommendations and saw that you are in/from/near Glasgow. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Life Without Buildings, but I was turned on to them a few months ago and have really been enjoying them a lot. If you're familiar with them (or their style of music), is there a similar vein of artists I should be checking out from Glasgow?

Love that album. Don't know if I've got something that scratches that particular itch, always loved neatly in the middle of everything that album sits (a lil bit math, I lil bit indie, a lil bit punk, a lil bit emo etc.). Depending on what aspects of the record you enjoyed the most I'm sure I could come up with a few recommendations.

You can't go wrong with Karnivool. Check out the songs We Are and COTE.

If you like heavy stuff I've been digging Sylosis recently. It's like a modern take on thrash metal with some outstanding riffs.

Love karnivool, got tickets for September which will most likely get pushed back. Quite like sylosis though not listened to them in a while might give them a spin again

If you're into hardcore and that type of thing, you can check out my band Pressure Cracks. Your standard loud noisy metalcore FFO Every Time I Die, Botch, etc...

Here's our latest EP

No way haha, I was rinsing that EP the entirety of last year. Thought the first one was good but that was a massive step up like. Album on the horizon?

If I had to try to describe which aspects of it I really like, I'd probably say something like "90's indie/lo-fi/art rock" I guess. haha. Hopefully that makes sense.

Ah thanks man! Single soon… in the middle of recording that. Hopefully released in the next few months. Working on enough songs for a full length, but that’s probably a year out.
 
Dan, killer stuff there. Way above my listening grade but I can certainly appreciate the effort. I'm way too old for this thread but I try out everything I'm exposed to. I'm trying not to become my dad :)

I play a lot of current Praise Band stuff and most of it is same-old-same-old Nashville tracks, which is really disappointing but I guess commercially safe. If there's an industry that's locked into the ying and yang of purpose-vs-sales model, this is it.

I come from a Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Jan Akkermann, Kim Mitchell, Ritchie Blackmore era so that makes it an even further stretch.
 
Ya know, I'm a big fan of Gojira but the singles off their upcoming album sound pretty flaccid. Generic. "Stock" as Lars would say. It feels very radio-rock uninspired singalong bs. What we call "softcock" out here.

That's a shame man.
 
I think too much focus has been given to visuals [in general]. It 'feels' like a soft-sell to me. I realize it's an OLD argument that has long been left defeated by time and trends.

for me -the attraction is the artistry in the music
