Body Thief is just fucking fire.

I like dirty vocals, break downs, throwing windmills, but something about Body Thief is so hype to me.

Kurt Travis song.

Hey i'm looking for a song that used to come up on my Spotify. I'm sure Kurt Travis was on vocals but i looked through all of his songs and couldn't find it. In the chorus he was singing about the Metropolitan subway.

I thought it might be a Catbamboo song because they sounded similar but it wasn't.

Any help would be appreciated

Royal Coda’s Self Titled Debut

I’ve always loved this album and just got it on vinyl, which feels special to me.

I feel that this album is so underrated in their catalog and in this sub genre as a whole. This album from the first second to last is absolutely drenched in atmosphere that I can’t quite find in any other album. In other words: IT’S A VIBE. It flies so much closer to a 2000’s/2010’s alternative sound but with that classic Swancore twist that just hits so wonderfully.

A huge plus in my books that I can blast this album at my toolbox when I’m at my shop and my coworkers NEVER complain about this album compared to other post-hardcore / Swancore offerings. I think that its “approachable” sound is impressive for how niche it is.

If you’ve never listened to it as a whole or have only given it a listen or two, give it a shot or another shot.

Edit: fixed a typo

What even 😂

I’ve always been a fan of DGD, Emarosa, Wolf & Bear, and other various PHC/Swancore bands; but I have recently stumbled upon a ton of other bands that I thoroughly enjoy. Needless to say, November was that month I guess.
