Best of 2018 So Far – Part 5

The Republic of Wolves – Shrine

For fans of Brand New, this band comes in with fierce lyrics and a fresh sound starting off 2018 perfectly.

Andy Mineo –  I: The Arrow

Here Andy Mineo discusses depression and his identity crisis. This quick release is a refreshing listen for anyone looking for answers to anxiety.

Phryme  –  Phryme 2

DJ Premier and Royce da 5’9 are not afraid to show the new era of rap that boom-bap is not going anywhere anytime soon.

S. Carey – Hundred Acres

When not playing drums with Bon Iver, S.Carey is churning out soothing melodies that are sure to make any listener reminisce of warm sunsets by the beach.

Teenage Wrist  –  Chrome Neon Jesus

It may be easy to compare this to another Deftones, but it’s clear that for a first debut this band is only moving forward from here.

Tiny Moving Parts  –  Swell

Teenage angst and swelling guitars, what else do you need?

Kids See Ghosts  –  Kids See Ghosts

What was expected to be a disaster by many, Kanye West and Kid Cudi create the most unique production of 2018 so far.

Underoath  – Erase Me

Underoath redefines their sound and come back strong as ever.  Chris Dudley’s synth and programming are what sets this record apart.
