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

Covers I Love: “Never Tear Us Apart” (Smith & Myers)
When I saw Smith & Myers back in December 2021, I wasn’t sure how I felt about this INXS cover, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. It is now one of my favorite covers, a track I can never skip anytime it comes on.
