beard music recommendations!
here's what i've been listening to a lot over the past month or two!
Cheerleader by Porter Robinson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzJbz9qSsd0
Very catchy song with a story I can relate to. Porter Robinson's melody and synths are as unique as ever with a pop-punk veneer on top of it all and his voice works really well for this style too. It's chaotic and moe, but still leaves room for Parker's voice to shine whenever there are vocals introduced into the mix.
Roc Sh!t by UnityTX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cDP_iOEIoI
This is heavy metal as hell and gets me motivated. Nu-metal has never sounded this close to metal while still sounding so close to hip-hop and it's an insanely good blend of both genres. I can imagine a concert for these guys being absolutely insane. The vocalist is super talented, doing everything from the rapping to the screams.
Hard To Say Goodbye by Johnny Stimson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CvD7ggjozQ
Best way to describe this is SUPER SMOOTH! The flow of the lyrics, the content of them, and the instrumental are all going to make you want to groove. It's definitely a feel-good song that I like listening to when I'm riding or walking just to peace out for a bit.
Landmines by Sum 41: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQEY1gPeZgk
A surprising amount of Sum 41's latest album is top notch, but this is my pick from it. Classic pop-punk in the best kind of way. Catchy lyrics and hooks plus Sum 41's signature refrains with explosive choruses are all here. If you told me this was recorded 20 years ago, I'd believe you, and that's a good thing.
