New discoveries, new music, keep your ears open

[biscuithead]

I have had far too many conversations with many a person that claims that there just isn’t any new music worth listening to....

Let’s prove them wrong by helping us all promote new music. This thread can serve as a friendly “hey have you heard xxxx yet?”

Any genre, any media, but let’s put a ten year rule on it. Post any new discoveries of yours here, as long as the song/album isn’t over ten years old.


I’ll kick it off with :

There is more good music today than ever. And more variety available today than ever, since distribution isn't controlled by just a few entities. One just has to know where to find it.

Completely agree! What was the last album you bought or song you downloaded?

Just this morning:

Check out "Purple Rain" by Winterplay on Amazon Music. https://music.amazon.com/albums/B07...07KG9JS2X&ref=dm_sh_hlMThJHHlQO4SEdsrdEm6MpYw


I think covers by new bands should count also. Covers have always existed.

Lydia Loveless. Marvelous hard country singer and songwriter from Columbus, Ohio. I am a big fan of Bloodshot Records.

And I caught this guy by accident last summer, opening for someone else.

Well since this is about new music that doesn't exclude old artist putting new stuff out.

I love this album, Telephone not as much.

A good way to find new and different music is to listen to college radio stations streaming on the web, plus non-commercial (not necessarily NPR) stations that play new and indie music, like WYEP in Pittsburgh or WXPN in Philadelphia. Those two certainly aren't the only ones.

Exactly my opinion!

And the old school way of going to a record store...

And the old school way of going to a record store... . . .

Good ones are hard to find outside large metro areas.

I'm a guitarist, but actually like listening to certain electronic music. Electronic music has matured into some excellent trends. One of my favorites is Ulrich Schnauss. He also releases on Vinyl and "Synthwaves" was one of the first LPs I purchased since the 1990s (I posted about it in the Turntable section).
Here is one example:

Just checked her out! Good stuff! I never heard of her before.
This is exactly what I hoped for in this thread, new music getting greater exposure.
