#BOTD 2022 – Week 16
Monday, April 25th, 2022
If you’ve been following along…I missed another day this week. (If you haven’t been following along…I set out to listen to at least one new band every single day. I missed Friday. I made up for it by listening to 2 new bands on Sunday). The www is like a treasure hunt. Go find something new to listen to on repeat like I am.
Don’t forget to show these bands some love…follow the socials, buy the music/merch, etc.
Here’s the recap of new (to us) bands we listened to last week (4/18 – 4/24).

Week 16
04/18: The Middle Room
I listened to the 2020 release, Never Satisfied. I also listened to the new single. This was a good way to start the week. Posi-pop punk sing along songs (at least musically speaking – I haven’t gotten through a read of the words)! Definitely interested to hear what’s next. Favorite Track: Hold That Thought
04/19: Matchstick Ghost
I first heard Plum Summer, and then checked out the new singles. Sweet harmonies. I’m excited to hear the EP, which drops on 4/29. Favorite Track: My Therapist Knows All About You or Plum Summer
04/20: Concrete Surfers
I started with the 2021 EP, Calamities. I listened while I was trying not to get lost in Myrtle Beach after an 11 hour car ride. The first song is called, Driving, so it made perfect sense. I picked one of the 2019 singles as my favorite track because it sounded like grunge, if grunge was a genre in the 80s. Favorite Track: Shattered Thoughts
04/21: Sleep It Off
I checked out the latest single, Pedestal and then went backwards through the discog. Consistently catchy pop-punk jams with super high harmonies! What’s next? Favorite Track: Pedastal
04/22: Fail
04/23: Heart to Gold
New music Saturday? I started the new full length, Tom. I did a full listen through on Sunday. Starts huge, ends perfectly unexpectedly. Production wise, I feel like it captures the perfect amount of rawness that if you close your eyes, you feel like you’re at a live show (of course I’ve never seen this band live…). Favorite Track: Gimme A Call (Saturday’s listen); Moon River Rock or Miserable (Sunday’s listen)
04/24 part 1: Phantom Bay
New music Sunday? I checked out the new self-titled full length, Phantom Bay. Holy shit. This rips. The end. Favorite Track: the entire thing
04/24 part 2: Small Talk.
I listened to the 2020 EP, Drowning in Your Absence. Somber, rainy day emo vibes all the way through. Favorite Track: Numb or Fault Line
