I think you may have posted that song during the transition to this new site, and it appears to have gotten lost in the transition. I tried using the search function, and . . . . . . oh, nevermind. Solid and fun song.

Apparently, I hate KnightShift's music.. and I misread a message thinking he also posted something I liked.. but it was you who posted it. It looked like a schizo posting actual music alongside what I call "noise sold as music".

Edit: then KnightShift destroys this idea by posing The Hives.. which sound great.

Beauty, particularly when judging music, literature, theater, movies, art, music, etc is in the eye of the beholder. It's OK that you "hate" my music.
I have had people close to me ask why I like such "angry" or "aggressive" or "loud" music. The answer is: "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast," from William Congreve's play "The Mourning Bride," written in 1697. I like the music I like because it brings me calm.

Was listening to Jocko Podcast 501, and his guest was a former Army medic who saw heavy combat in Ramadi, Iraqui dealt with medically treating mortally wounded soldiers under fire, a couple of guys from his troop commit suicide due to PTSD, and he was suffering from PTSD. What worked in calming him down? Native American flute music. Imagine that.

You enjoy your art/music. I will enjoy mine. Hate is a strong word. I don't hate music that does not resonate with me. I just don't listen to it.
In the words of the great band Pantera-- "Be yourself, by yourself. . . . ."

Back to new music. . . . . New Nine Inch Nails.

This is another band I just became aware out of The UK called The Heavy Heavy (not to be confused with The Heavy- another U.K. band). They released a new album in 2024 and they have a live album out. A really good sound, many hear Fleetwood Mac, I hear that but more of Delaney & Bonnie (Bramlett) that some of you old timers should remember:

Second single from Biohazard. NYC Hardcore legends. You don't need to like it. Love the aggression.

i come to this thread late so I’m not sure if this has been posted. Lawrence, a NYC brother and sister band with musicians from their neighborhood, school, and college. Gracie, the lead singer, was nominated for a Tony for playing Connie Francis on Broadway.

New music from Robert Plant from upcoming album. Not quite Led Zep.

Has a little Led Zeppelin lll vibe to it. This is actually a cover of an old blues song from the 1930s by Lonnie Young (below). I learned about it about 15 years ago when The Derek Trucks Band did a cover of it on their “Songlines” album (below):





I’ll get back to some new stuff, I couldn’t help myself.😀

Cool, from Nova Scotia. A bit reminiscent of old Pixies.

New Sublime with Brad's son Jakob on vocals. Hard to believe it has been nearly 30 years since Brad Nowell died from a heroin overdose. His son sounds a lot like Brad.

I read an amusing comment about the Boojums today:

“All their videos look like they were filmed at Dunder Mifflin.”

True.
😀

Sublime is a band that I missed in the 1990s and only became familiar with them much later. I’ve mentioned this before, I had kind of checked out of the music scene by the late ‘70s and most of the ‘80s. With some exceptions, I thought the rock music scene had become mundane and shallow. The 1990s represented a rebirth of sorts for me. Somehow I missed Sublime who I think is an interesting and good band.

Yeah, Sublime is not my cup of tea, but there is something intriguing and infectious about their music. I have their greatest hits in my library, and play that fairly regularly. I don't really care for reggae (even though the mighty Bad Brains have some reggae songs), but Sublime has a very groovy sound and some interesting guitar work.
Plus they have a way of telling a story. Date Rape and April 29, 1992 are very well done lyrically.

Spoon, a band that always grabs my attention when I listen to Altrock (Brookdale's HD2 station.

Groovy new song, playing in Asbury Park as part of Sea Hear Now.

Not sure if this is in the spirit of this thread since their most recent album came out more than a year ago, but Vampire Weekend is concluding a 4-show run at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair tonight - their first shows in NJ since 2009.

I caught their show last night, a VERY NJ-coded show overall, which I was hoping for - despite them being largely associated with NYC/preppy Columbia Ivy League culture, both their lead singer (Ezra Koenig) and drummer (Chris Tomson, CT) are NJ natives. Koenig grew up right by Montclair in Glen Ridge (and even re-formed his HS band as the opening act), and CT did a wardrobe change into a vintage NJ Nets jersey for the encore.

There were shoutouts to specific NJ towns, a Rutgers mention, and I even heard the faint beginnings of an R-U chant when New Brunswick got a mention. I'm crediting whoever did that if we beat Iowa tomorrow.



Editing to add, you can hear the R-U chant in the video below. Actually was a little more robust than I realized at the time.

New COC, with a a cover of the 1970 song Fire and Water by Free. A kind of heavy Lynyrd Skynyrd



And as Monty Python would say- now for something completely different, a banger from a new band, Die Spitz. These girls bring it.

It’s interesting that you make the musical connection with Free and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The U.K. rock band Free was a major influence for Skynyrd. Free had a great singer in Paul Rodgers . Their guitarist Paul Kossoff was a personal favorite of mine and another of the many musicians from that era who succumbed to addiction related causes at a very young age.

COC are from New Orleans and North Carolina. You can hear the Southern influences in many of their songs, but rheir most popular songs are bangers. They get lumped into Stoner rock, which is a puzzling genre since I have never been stoned.

The song Rise River Rise is another example of their softer Southern side
