Ask Lemmy

I probably heard stuff on the radio (CBC-1) and even on Lemmy that I've taken a liking to the first time I've heard them, but have yet to search for them. But here are a few relatively recent stuff. I pretty sure I've listened to each of the first 3 at least 10x, maybe ≥20x.

​

Clarissa - Ela [might be "bedroom pop"/lo-fi/dream pop/techno-pop/soft] (2021)

(You can probably download this directly from Vimeo.)

Yeah, I know, 2 young attractive barefoot women who kiss in the end and the translation, IIUC, indicates that her parents wouldn't understand their relationship, but I've taken quite a liking to the music.

​

Ivana Máchová & Miriam Hrušková - Terezka [sounds a bit like ABBA] (1979)

​

Cold Showers - "Sliver" (Official Video) (they sound a bit like Depeche Mode)

[21st dekaday, 2787 YAE] Laura (music by Nick Gudgeon; Dancer Laura Beanland Stephens) [the music has a bit of a Tycho feel to it] (2018)

"Sally go round the roses

(Sally go round the pretty roses)

They won't tell your secret

(they won't tell your secret)"

Also, this sounds like great My Bloody Valentine: 😁🙂

More artists than bands, but:

Lubalin and Su Lee

Really got into? The Strokes three or four years ago.

I can’t stop listening to these two freaks from Belgium called La Jungle.

https://youtu.be/a-YEC8cjJGA

Super high intensity fun fast jams

I don’t understand why they aren’t huge

ANIMA! Moving Mountains is my favorite.

Fcukers have been putting out an astonishing amount of music in the last year.

Which is awesome, Nora wasn't going to be able to keep Vengaboys vibe alive alone forever.

Shits too depressing these days to not have mindless party music.

I need to check out if Ashnikko has anything other than Worms that is good. I found the song looking for songs specifically about BPD and the list I was using said most of her discography is about it.

Bloodywood - A Bollywood themed metal band. Great fun!

In the span of like 2 weeks I discovered a bunch of new music. I never get why people cling onto the stereotype that you stop listening to new music once you hit a certain age. I'm finding new shit all the time.

Die Spitz - Doom/Punk/Grunge band from Texas. They have really wild shows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB01l-V_vAE

Tropical Fuck Storm - Aussie Rock & Roll. Kind of a sad boy druggy aesthetic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t663s10WwPE

Earth Tongue - New Zealand classic Heavy Metal with Ozzy and Satan in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs

Spite - Deathcore. Kinda boring old school Myspace era stuff to be honest. Takes me back to 2007 when I was a wee lad though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs

Am I the crusty Deathmetal head now?

They kinda blew up recently because of their KEXP performance, but I discovered Angine de Poitrine like 2 weeks before that.

I also discovered 88Kasyo Junrei around the same time. Fantastic band.

Been digging the Wee Hairy Beasties:

https://youtu.be/59nn4Yepnzk

Peeling Flesh: They don't have high production values, thought provoking lyrics or a coherent style, But it is an interesting mix of genres that fucking slams.

I don’t know how new they are but band of horses and Lord Huron

Sleep Theory - not to be confused with Sleep Token

Apes of the State, which is now sending me on a folk punk deep dive

Definitely Kalandra

Another banger

Don't even know the genre (always a good sign in my book)...folky proggy post rock?

Mamaleek were a breath of fresh air when I discovered them around five years ago, after thinking I've heard basically all genres already. It was like hearing good music for the first time again.

King Kong

https://youtu.be/ijH-FS-8zIo

Royal Blood and Spoegwolf.

Johnny booth

Two that I just absolutely LOVE after I came across them:

Theocracy:

https://youtu.be/143Bj62fm-Y

Uplifting Christian power metal. They SHRED and bring me hope in this dark world.

Smash Into Pieces:

https://youtu.be/3NpjfRKOblg

I'm digging pretty much everything they do. "Trigger" is a favorite but I play the dopamine out of everything they make. That's a really rare and fantastic feeling to vibe so well with a group/artist. :D

Mamalarkey their song Big Trouble is such a goddamn banger

The newest artist I got into is Amélie Farren, who came out with some singles and a debut album last year.

But the artist I got into most recently is Chicago's own Beach Bunny, whose 2025 album Tunnel Vision I've been listening to on repeat for weeks now, along with the single "Year of the Optimist", which: if you're going to check out one song from them, that's the one IMO.

Many Eyes. Headed up be former Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley.
