Posted on December 7, 2015 by adammarx13

The first week of December is here, and the sun is shining (here in Atlanta at least, ha), so that means I’m killin it to some great feel-good ska-punk, Celtic rock, and alternative vibes. Artists this week abound from the U.S., U.K., Denmark, Austria, and Sweden among others! Some of these albums and EP’s have been on my playlists for a while now (a couple years), and others I found just this weekend, but all I’m digging majorly. As always, albums are in no particular order, so give all these artists some love as we near the end of 2015! \m/

Amazing new Hit List this week to go along with the dreary November weather outside. Like the clouds hanging low overhead, the indie-rock vibe is strong this time around, with a good mix of sub-genres and some adrenaline punches here and there. One of the thing I’m loving about this slew of artists is their experimentation with a variety of instruments (beyond the simple guitar/bass/drums setup), so listen for the instruments you don’t normally hear mixed in ;D As always, albums are in no particular order, so give all these people some love! \m/

The Hit List: 20 Demos, Albums and EP’s You Need to Hear Right Now — October 26, 2015

Posted on October 26, 2015 by adammarx13

I was in a decidedly metal mood while compiling this week’s list, and it definitely shows. From industrial to progressive to melodic and metalcore, the Hit List this week boasts a sick number of riff-masters absolutely slaying it! And yet, there’s more than metal here; as I was going through my industrial-metal groove this week, I found myself leaning even more into the industrial and darkwave vein, and it certainly shows. The list this week feels cold and metallic, and that’s just how it wins. It’s a dreary day here in Atlanta, and the cold, calculating feel is just right. Check these people out, they’re killin it in the best way. As always, albums are in no particular order, so make sure you get all the way down! \m/

I’m stoked for the list this week; there are some amazing new albums that dropped in just the past couple of weeks. This week it’s a healthy dose of alternative-rock spread over some more eclectic genres like jazz-pop, indie-folk, rockabilly punk, electro-rock. Some of these artists are so new they don’t even have more than a few hundred fans yet, but I expect that to change for sure ;D. Albums and EP’s like this are why I love living to the left of the dial, these people are sick! As always, albums are in no particular order so make it all the way through!
