It’s been another week, and dozens of new songs have hit the internet. The sheer volume of these new tracks has made it hard for you to wade through them without feeling totally overwhelmed and throwing your phone into a river. Because we understand how stressful this is for you, we’ve compiled a few of our favorite new songs. Go ahead and put your phone in rice or whatever you’re supposed to do, and dig in.
Drug Church ‘Slide 2 Me’
Drug Church’s new album ‘Prude’ comes out in just a couple of weeks and the anticipation is almost unfathomable. The latest and likely final single leading up to the event, ‘Slide 2 Me,’ is an absolute ripper that is sure to elevate their already mega-intense live shows. Needless to say, this record will likely be the album of the decade. We don’t want to alarm you, but the band said if we don’t sell out of our limited edition pre-order, they might not release the album at all. You don’t want to live with that guilt, do you?
A Place To Bury Strangers ‘Bad Idea’
When Oliver Ackermann isn’t crafting the most insane boutique guitar pedals you’ve ever seen via Death By Audio, he’s using those pedals to craft the most insane music you’ve ever heard via A Place To Bury Strangers. The noise-rock trio is set to release their seventh album ‘Synthesizer’ next month. Their latest single ‘Bad Idea’ is filled to the brim with their patented blend of psych, shoegaze, post-punk, and a shit ton of sounds you didn’t know guitars could make.
High Vis ‘Drop Me Out’
Next month, High Vis will release their third album ‘Guided Tour’ the follow-up to their breakthrough LP ‘Blending.’ While the band is known for blending elements of hip-hop and synth rock into their punk-infused catalog, their latest single ‘Drop Me Out’ ditches this penchant to deliver a no frills fist pumper. Despite dialing things back, the track still manages to sound fresh and inventive while also making you want to throw your friend or coworker into a wall. Maybe skip this one if you’re reading this at the office. You’ve already seen HR too much this month.
The Kills ‘Happier Than Ever (Billie Eilish cover)’
Look, everyone knows you put on Billie Eilish as soon as you’re out of ear’s reach. If you’re hiding this adoration to avoid the appearance of being soft, you’ll be pleased to know The Kills released their own edgy version of ‘Happier Than Ever.’ Allison Mosshart’s growl and Jamie Hince’s biting guitar are sure to make it easier than ever to hide the fact that you have feelings from your concerned friends.
All American Rejects ‘Flagpole Sitta (Harvey Danger cover)’
AAR’s Tyson Ritter recently said in an interview that no one cares about listening to new music anymore. Honestly, we kind of think he’s stealing our bit here and have been exploring our legal options ever since. To help procure a better settlement, we’ve been advised to share their new and nearly pitch-perfect cover of Harvey Danger’s classic ‘Flagpole Sitta.’ It’s not reinventing the wheel or anything, which is kind of Ritter’s point, but it does make for an enjoyable listen.
L.S Dunes ‘Fatal Deluxe’
If you’ve noticed your stock in Hot Topic and L’Oréal Infallible Grip eyeliner soaring lately, it’s because L.S Dunes has released another excellent single. The band features members of My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Circa Survive, Coheed and Cambria, and probably ten other early aughts darlings that we’re failing to mention here. ‘Fatal Deluxe’ marks a glorious shift in sound for the band. They’ve yet to announce an accompanying album, and we’re sure that’s to prevent causing total chaos in the world market.
Look, we get it. You’re probably ‘too busy’ to click the play button on any of these songs. That’s why we’ve hand-crafted a playlist for you. It doesn’t just have these songs on it, either. It has every song we’ve ever written about this year, and will continue to grow until it becomes so long and disorienting that we get banned from Spotify.
