as usual with us and our synced minds, I've already recommended most of these more than once 😉 specifically liquid Mike, oceanator, no joy (just gave tickets away to her Philly gig earlier this month!)
i spend a lot of time talking about how some really fantastic bands that imo should be HUGE just don't seem to get the listeners. apart from the ones i've just mentioend there, i'm thinking BODEGA (under 70K listeners on spotify) and the bug club (131K). ofc there are lots more. why is this? i don't get it.
I am currently addicted to the Miynt song Blu-Ray Land. Hey Gabbie, the album title is Rain Money Dogs. Haven't figured out what the connection is. Rest of the album is pleasant enough but nothing has hooked me like that track.
But also, I like Slomo Sapiens. Saw them in DC with Acid Dad and Psychedelic Porn Cumpets. They have a rabbit hole song so that earns them extra esteem and spins.
I was in the middle of listening to a Chinese compilation called Kind of Shoegaze Vols 1 & 2, so I'm going every other song with the Known Unknowns playlist. Surprise! It's working really well.
A few that fit the bill.
● Splitsville - power pop goodness.
● Liquid Mike - even better power pop goodness, on the heavier side.
● Oceanator - ok, more heavy power pop, but so good! Great harmonies.
● Jobber - they call themselves sludge-pop.
● Soot Sprite - indie/alt/grungy thing with lovely vocals and great melodies.
● No Joy - a little jazzy, kind of like the Weather Station goes grungy
Also saw you have Dancer on there, that new album is real good!

I love Oceanator - Elise is such an absolute boss on stage. She came into the studio last time she was in town and played a few songs (on my guitar!) You can hear it here if you like: https://www.mixcloud.com/rockrabbithole/rock-roll-rabbit-hole-may-13-2025/
Oh and she took one of our t-shirts. I haven't seen her wear it in any of her social media as yet, but oh man have I looked!
this is amazing
Really like Soot Sprite, so happy to see them on your submissions!

i mean i do this all the time, right? i’ve been hyping both bodega and bug club for ages! i feel like all the bands i hype should be huge!

yessss we have been talking about that one in the discord! it's so good, I absolutely love
dammit do I have to join another platform? do I need another distraction?
I'm gonna say yes but I'm biased
I’ll Show You Magic, Forty Winks, Slow Fiction, Daiistar, Kassie Krut, retail drugs, purr, robber robber
love slow fiction and robber robber!
Obsessed with brother
Ok so Philly. Talk to me about Empath. They were so so great the two times I've seen them. (I'm new here so pardon me if this has been covered)
But also, I like Slomo Sapiens. Saw them in DC with Acid Dad and Psychedelic Porn Cumpets. They have a rabbit hole song so that earns them extra esteem and spins.
Oh, the new Katy Alice Greer track is cool I understand she's not for everyone, but I've enjoyed her solo stuff.
Hmm… Apple one is not available in my country or region?
how about now
