Genre: Math Rock/Jazz/Post-Rock (sort of)
Japanese Math Rock trio that completely tears it up. These guys are masters at their instruments. Being a big pianist and drummer, this music really speaks to me. Bleh! I just cannot get over how phenomenal and underrated these guys are. You seriously need to listen. Lightning fingers on the keys, and the incredible drumming, everything is on point. All killer, no filler, for sure. I am upset I’ve only just recently heard of them (by looking through math rock drumming on YouTube, haha), but at least I did! You all seriously need to listen to these guys. Much like the last band, there is not much I can say, the music will speak for itself. So yeah, quit reading here, and click the play button!
I really don’t have the words to describe how cool Vacationer is. Have you ever heard of Person L? If not then you suck and need to check them out. What about The Starting Line? You have to have! The lead singer from TSL sings and plays the guitar for Person L, and he also happens to be the frontman of Vacationer! When I first heard Vacationer, I recognized the voice, and as I suspected I discovered it was Kenny Vasoli! Anyway, this is the chillest music I’ve heard in awhile. Vacationer is a collaborative effort that makes music revolving around, well vacationing. Chillin’ out, having a good time with good people and good vibes. Really uplifting, awesome stuff. Can’t get enough it. So perfect for Summer that it isn’t even funny! If you go to their site, which I will link below, you can type in any state and then the site plays a collection of videos from that state with their track “Trip” in the background. Sweet, right? They remind of so many different bands that I can’t really pin any of them. I hear some American Royalty in there, that’s for sure! You just have to listen. Beautiful music here. I really can’t wait to jam this out this Summer.
I am so glad they were giving this to fans for free when they pre-ordered the upcoming album, “Port Of Morrow.” This song is sooooooo good! Apparently it is the flagship song of this album, but I am not sure on that. What I really love about The Shins is their unique indie rock sound. Most indie rock bands nowadays all sounds the same, but I have not heard many bands that sound quite the same as The Shins, and I really appreciate that in bands. I know that it is getting harder and harder to be original, but The Shins has kept it going for quite a long time. They always deliver! I don’t really have the words to do them justice, just give them a listen if you have not heard of them for some reason, and if you’re a fan that is out of the loop, well here is your chance! For fans of bands like Modest Mouse (if you understand why I’m really saying Modest Mouse, then high-five!) and Neutral Milk Hotel.

This band is crazy, probably not for everyone, but it is because many people have weak, and closed minds. My goodness, I really don’t have words to describe these guys. They’re wicked musicians making some absolutely crazy good music. Just check them out. Man these guys melted my face D:
I would say Experimental Chiptune Metalcore? I really hate metalcore though, so ah, I don’t even know, haha. Horse The Band has been one of my favorite bands since middle school way back when, they’re damn good, if you don’t like it then shut yo’ ears! If you have not heard of these guys for some odd reason, and have an open mind to strange music, then definitely check these guys out!
This band is AMAZING! Can’t even think of the right words to describe them, just do yourself a favor and give this track a listen. I love that toy piano they use in it. Ah! Such good stuff!
All things considered, this is MGMT with a female lead, haha. Don’t let that deter you though! The chorus in this song is so catchy it isn’t even funny.
I used to be a friend of this musician! Ah, those were the simpler days! Really good stuff here. Obviously influenced by chiptune with a twist of breakbeat in there. Subtle ambiance with plenty of distortion. Sounds messy right? It really isn’t. If anything this stuff could put you to sleep and give you splendid dreams, haha.
