Real music is the sound fire makes as it sizzles sirloin.
Influence can be worn on a sleeve.
This was my surprise pop punk favorite of 2025

- ungooglable band name

- generic album title (alliteration and double entendres aside)
- sneak release at the end of the year, - Canadian.

I don't know what this sound is?

Post HxC with the treble sucked out, but also melodic shoegaze glazed with DC Emo?

You know what, nevermind, don't listen to me, listen to Koyo, pronounced Koi-Yo.

There might not be a single song on this album that doesn't mention;
grinding hard for money,
working hard with the boys,
getting paid,
& shrugging off trolls.

Every one of them

The early 10s were full of crunk core party rock & folk indie, Ho Heys

They didnt quite reach the stratospheric level of, The Lumineers, but these dudes definitely had their place in the sun.

Some kind of an insane irony that a 2001 album called, "Soundtrack for a Generation", from a band everyone forgot about, has a hit single, everyone knows as a Starting Line song... which, more or less, kind of embodies the soundtrack of the Napster generation.

You know this song by Student Rick

There hasn't been a single time in human history when an unnofficial mashup, unsupported by either artist, has even artistically worked.

Create rap music cause I never dug disco.

At one point, it sounds like someone is channelling an Eminem that wouldn't drop "Infinite", until later that year, on the s/t track Dr Octagon.

Thanks Kool Keith for SciFi rap.

Every early Thrice fan sleeping on "Wounded Touch"... is old.

That's just an unobjective fact.

You ever just zone out and make it to side C before you realize you forgot to turn off dust mode on the record player?

AKA 45 rpm

Still pleasant cranked up a notch 🤣
Call it the reverse chopped and screwed.

Most famous for his single, "Fuck the Police"

"We have dreams of being dust"

Dissolving, the track that drops the album title, is pretty epic. Whole thing is pretty shoegazey, and at other times I hear Castlevania music.

These peeps never make 2 albums that sound the same. Not bad.

The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die.

You should never admit defeat in the name of your band, but I'm fairly certain every album from this outfit has been a different band.

"Josh Cyr and friends"

I like their broken Stargate album

Like TayTay, every era of Marshall has haters

LPII hate was silly & in further hindsight, it's hands down my favorite cohesive Em unit, behind Bad Meets Evil II

The best samples of his discography can be found here & Rubin magic is sprinkled around.
