y'alls' taste in music

A few hours of scrolling on here today has done more for my taste in music than years and years of Sp*tify algorithms. Highly recommend turning to the PI.FYI community for something fresh. That in mind here's a couple of bands I really like that I have had to introduce to like 90% of people, I've tried to make sure all of these artists have under 100k monthly listeners on Spoofy: - Blue Deputy: indie dream rock who will absolutely become my favourite band the moment they release their first EP (they keep promising it's in the works!!!!) favourite tracks: Cypress, New Jersey, Lucky Star (that one's not on streaming yet!) - Lesbian Bed Death: Gothic Hard Rock/Metal that packs a hell of a punch, they're so much fun. Favourite tracks: Maria, Your Love Makes Everything Worse, She Loves Lilith - Sean Solomon: He has that one song on tiktok where he plays along to VCR recording of the music video (that I believe he drew and animated himself)/backing track. That one song is Car Crash and it's just quite lovely, really - The Man the Myth the Meatslab: more acoustic midwest emo I found on TikTok lmao. effortlessly, i feel everything is eerily similar to Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl but imo not in a way that feels like a ripoff, it actually elevates the song for me. It's like a spin on a similar theme from a different perspective - Chloe Slater: working class, indie, feminist indie rock anthems for disenfranchised people who just wanna dance. favourite songs: Fig Tree, Sucker, Thomas Street - Life to Experience: this is kind of a memey one bc their album The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads appears on a tonne of people's cringe/bad album covers lists, but guys. Please. I promise you it is genuinely one of the best Prog Rock albums of all time it rules so hard. Please try it. this is not an original take but it IS a correct take. - Wax Fang: this band had one song appear in an episode of American Dad of all places, and whoever put it there should have immediately been given a raise and creative control of the entire show. The song they used is called Majestic, and the album it's from, La La Land, is an incredible rock album.

Orchid pretentious post-hardcore screamo from amherst, mass. in the early 2000s. a lot of their songs are about critical theory. Maher Shalal Hash Baz Japanese nativist PSF records, not Really a band just this guy tori Kudo and whoever he has around him. kind of sounds like the velvet underground remixed by a kid playing an accordion. The Cannanes Melbourne Indy pop from that sweet spot between the late 80s early 90s. Best tracks use a drum machine, there are some great living room live recordings on YouTube.

Leicester music scene

90% of my friends are musicians so boy do I have recs for you!! All of these musicians are so talented and worth your curiosity. You're going to have the nichest recommendations when your friends ask you what you've been listening to recently. I tried to hyperlink each artist but it's not working so I made a playlist instead.

FFO: Mitski, PJ Harvey The People Assembly, krautrock/post-rock chaos, best live shows, FFO: Fugazi, Shellac Sister Bliss, a Transatlantic Leicester/New York collaboration, FFO: Mac Demarco, Beach Fossils Hex Poseur, garage rock/grunge/punk goodness, FFO: Bikini Kill, White Stripes Earls, Birmingham punk (no longer playing 💔 but the singer is now in Mouse Teeth's band, drummer is in Gudness and other two are in Fruit), FFO: Idles, Bob Vylan National Opera, indie electronica dance pop, FFO: LCD Soundsytem, Metronomy Dad Jokes, feel good indie, FFO: Alvvays, MJ Lenderman Heart Sauce, summery synthy guitar indie, FFO: Hard Life, Faye Webster CJ Pandit, indie singer/songwriter, FFO: Billie Martin, Willie J Healey Dum Language, guitar indie rock who's sharpied name you will see everywhere, FFO: Kagoule, Palma Violets Dusker, mathy post-punk, FFO: Protomartyr, Polvo Sun Dog, shouty garage, FFO: Tropical Fuck Storm, Gilla Band Chief Springs, harmonic indie folk rock, FFO: Big Thief, The National Courtney Askey, gothic folk/grunge singer songwriter, ME lol, FFO: Nick Cave, PJ Harvey

finding the right people

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it). I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way). I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me. Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now. It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with. Gratefully & Gratituously, I love my friends.

Fake pngs

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
