The Mostly Music 2023 Playlist, Pt. 3 (Updated 10/22/23)

The Mostly Music 2023 Playlist, Pt. 3 (Updated 9/10/23)

So I have been remiss and have not posted all of the singles that have been added to parts one and two of my 2023 playlist, but from this post onward, I plan to stay on top of the third installment for the rest of the year. (This is quite the massive undertaking; as previously stated, in 2024, I will be dividing the playlists into more digestible segments – perhaps grouping only three months of singles into each rather than four.)

If you are interested, I will link the other two playlists at the end of this post. For now, here is the first group of singles I added to part three. I usually do two weeks’ worth at a time, as some weeks there are very few releases to share.

Also, this list is far from comprehensive. I tend to focus on independent bands/artists who are not backed by major labels. I’m sure I miss an entire world of tracks by other indie artists/bands. You can feel free to comment with a few, if you’d like!

More fun links!

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.”
