Smells Like Alt Rock

I know I'm behind again, but I really struggled this week. I listened to my Release Radar on Friday and then started working through the All New Rock list, maybe I was just off this week but I was really not feeling it. (Maybe because I was rocking out with Diamante and Fuel on Friday night in Iowa - just puts a damper on headphone and Spotify, ya know?) So this week's list is a little shorter than some other weeks, but all good additions to the May playlist.   Papa Roach w/ Humankind - See U in Hell The Last Dinner Party - Big Dog Black Veil Brides w/ Lilith Czar - Cut Movements - Dissolve Me Glass Tides - Skin Like Suits As It Is - Do You Remember? Comastatic - Heavy Glow Eleventwelth - Last Here All Alone Act III The Return The Flatliners - And They're Off Black Stone Cherry - Deep Like Roses - Wrist Social Distortion - No Way Out

  The May list is getting ridiculous! We're at 45 songs on the list so far and it's only May 3rd! 2025 is shaping up to be a great year of music - bands we've loved since the 90's are dropping new tunes, bands we are started following over the past couple of years are dropping new tunes, and there's good stuff coming out each week that we've never heard before.  Let's jump into this week's selections: Mayday Parade - Blame It On The Youth Citizen Soldier - Only One Sawyer Hill - Jimmy's Gone Numb Sevendust - Construct Bush - Swallowed 30th Anniversary Version The Beaches - Should've Known Better Bilmuri - Honest L0L0 - whiskey & coke Broadside - What Are You Leaving Behind Teen Jesus and Jean Teasers - Daylight Tigercub - Stuck In The Melancholy Metric, BYNX - Help I'm Alive BYNX Rework Atreyu - Wait My Love, I'll Be Home Soon The Cab - ih8yourgutz Young The Giant - Everygreen Halsey - Carry the Weight Saint Clair - Too Young to Noti...

 Okay, okay - I'm behind an entire week. Like many other month's the last week of the month actually starts the next month. So here's me getting caught up because I know more new music is dropping tonight at midnight.  So here's last week's start to the May list : Foo Fighters - Window Theory of a Deadman - Barricade As December Falls - Teeth The Haunt - Favorite Way To Die Muse - Cryogen VOILA - Tightrope Walking Cowboy Mouth - Patty (With The Rose Tattoo) Metric - Tremolo Des Rocs - Fall Together Bilmuri - Worth Part of You The Cab - Sweet Kerosene Sly Withers - Clearly L0L0 - boy who doesn't want to Tigers Jaw - It's ok Fastball - Let Me Love You Sleeping with Sirens - Forever/Always Beck - Ride Lonesome Oliver Tree - Fuck the Whole World Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers - Go Waste My Time untitled - Say It Again Tooth - Restless in Bloom CQ Wrestling - Finish Line Out In Front - The Sound

That's it! April is a wrap! The April playlist peaked at 71 songs - with great new songs by long time favorites like the Foo Fighters, Evanescence, and U2 and some of our newer favorites like Lansdowne, Tigers Jaw, and Yonaka dropping great tunes - April was a tough one to cut back. We end up with a top 20 list and 7 honorable mentions. Lansdowne take April's #1 spot and #6.  Without further delay - here they are: Lansdowne - I Can You Coming Evanescence - Who Will You Follow Des Rocs - The Riders of Red Hook The Maine - Half A Spark Black Stone Cherry - I'm Fine Tigers Jaw - Lost On You Lansdowne - Can't Wish You Well Yonaka - At The Beach Good Boy Daisy - Where Did You Go?
