and Pink Pantheress? we should be friends.
Just grabbed tickets this morning for their DC show in February
been dying for them to do a US tour for the album and stop doing Europe + festivals
You should give Ninajirachi a look if you like JVB and PinkPantheress
You and I run in the same music circles I see.
Iāve been a Blue Stones fan since Hows That Sound in 2012 and I think Metro is their worst output by far. I wish I liked it so much but I just dont.
The Mo Lowda album is amazing.
Wonder Years - No Closer to Heaven (10th Anniversary Remaster)
Yellowcard - Better Days
The Midnight - Syndicate
The Starting Line - Eternal Youth
Whiskey Myers - Whomp Whack Thunder
Motion City Soundtrack - Same Old Wasted Wonderful World
Mo Lowda and the Humble - Tailing the Ghost
Turnpike Troubadours - Price of Admission
Muscadine Bloodline - And What Was Left Behind
These are not in order. All of these are somewhere between very good and excellent.
Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party is so, so good
Damn we are in the same music scene! Thereās another guy on the Refuge whoās also a Mo Lowda fan, I canāt remember his name right now.
Metro was a concept that worked for me, and after their last two albums had underwhelmed me I was really glad it did. Wonāt knock a fellow knower for seeing it differently.
Interesting. I think Black holes and hidden gems (and howās that sound ) are as good as they get. Thought pretty monster was a step down. And metro was a further step down.
They rip live as well.
