3 Bands/Artists You Should Be Following (#32)

July 22, 2022 — Leave a comment

It’s been ages, but I’ve decided to pick up where I left off and continue telling y’all about the bands/artists I come across on my various social medias that y’all should know! Yes, it used to be five bands/artists each post. However, I decided that was too much for the reader and didn’t offer enough focus to those featured. So…let’s dive right in, shall we?

1. Overthrone: Metalcore from the UK. For fans of Fit For a King, Wage War, etc. Overthrone released their sophomore album, The Path of Destruction, earlier this year and recently supported Dropout Kings at a show in Birmingham. Check out their latest single here and visit their socials for more!

2. South of Eden: Rock from Ohio. For fans of Greta Van Fleet, Dorothy – a mix of classic and current rock, or as I have heard it called, “vintage rock.” South of Eden has several shows coming up, and they have been teasing new music soon!

I have seen them live and I highly recommend getting to a show if you can. The band is very energetic, Ehab’s vocals are amazing, and Justin is one hell of a guitarist. (Plus, they’re super nice guys!)

3. Mac Saturn: A mix of rock, blues, funk, soul, and R&B from Detroit, Michigan. Another vintage rock band in the vein of Dirty Honey, there are definite elements of classic rock & roll such as Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers incorporated in their sound. Mac Saturn is currently touring and just did two shows opening for The Black Crowes! I recently shared their latest single, “Mr. Cadillac,” when I posted about the California Dreamin’ Tour, so I’m gonna give y’all a different track here. This is called “Diamonds.”

This Was Fun! Andre Antunes Does The Beatles in the Style of Muse

June 1, 2022 — Leave a comment

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked on this video, but y’all! This is so good! As my mom said, it’s very similar to the original during the verses, yet Andre nailed the prog element that Muse brings to the table – along with the Matt Bellamy-esque vocals. If you love The Beatles or Muse or both, definitely check this out!
