I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.

EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!

    Aviators, I like a lot of their game inspired music such as A Thousand Eyes, inspired by Bloobourne and some of their personal creations such as “Godhunter,” and “My Church”

    Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of “Kickstart my heart” by Motley Crue and “Get it on” by Turboneger.

    Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.

    “Stand up and shout” by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.

    Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!

        You have great taste! I saw him during a Subtle tour back in the day.

        If you haven’t heard his album with Alias, Less is Orchestra, it’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I could not recommend it more.

          Ah awesome, would have loved to have seen cLOUDDEAD at the time myself, enjoyed most of the stuff on Big Dada too.

          Gave All Portrait, No Chorus a listen and dug it (was that a Cannibal Ox ref in the first track?!), will add the Alias/Dose One collab to the list… thanks!

            Ooo pleeease check out Less is Orchestra, it’s seriously amazing. I’ve had multiple friends ask who it was when in my car, even friends who don’t like that kinda music. I think it’s in my top five albums of all time right now.

    British band “Jungle” has been in heavy rotation for me the past ~6 months. Specifically watch their music videos and the dance choreography. I suggest playing the entire album “Volcano” as one video.

    Free by Crush 40.

    Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.

    The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.

    The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)

        Never heard of him, just googled it and the description sounds similar. I’ll check it out tomorrow as I’m about to go to bed, but thanks for something new to check out!

          Synth metal is right up my alley and I’d call Carpenter Brut the king of it.

          Few tracks I’d recommend in particular:

          • Hairspray Hurricane

          • Turbo Killer

          • Le Perv

          There’s way more than that but that’s a good start. Of his albums, Trilogy is more synth, Leather Teeth is middle, and Leather Terror is more metal, but all of them go extremely hard

            Just checked a few of his videos on you tube and I’d say leather teeth is my favorite and the closest to in this moments style.

            In this moment leans heavier in the dark/nü metal stuff with a lot more lyrics. The singer has an absolutely angelic voice and then dives deep into a growl and switches back and forth often several times in one song. Her melodic voice is like a sirens call, hypnotizing you. Then she switches and you’re ankles are dragged to hell as she yells at you. It’s fucking amazing and I really hope she doesn’t kill her vocal cords doing that. It’s seriously hauntingly beautiful.

            But after checking out a few of those videos, I gotta say thanks for your recommendation, it’s dope AF and I just made a new Pandora station thanks to you. 👍

            Update: still listening to it. My kid is gonna fucking love listening to this in my mx-5. This is absolutely our jam. Thanks again.

              Glad you like it! I’m curious which singer you are referring to since as far as I know all the vocals in Carpenter Brut songs are via collaboration.

              Some other of my favourite songs from him:

              • The Good Old Call

              • Vances De 87 (Carpenter Brut Remix)

              • Lipstick Masquerade

              • MANIAC

              • Looking for Tracy Tzu

              Listen to the first song in Trilogy, “Escape from Midwich valley”. It starts out like of slow but the end perfectly sets up the rest of the album as very heavy synth

              Be careful driving while listening to CB, driving under the speed limit may be an effort in futility while you listen!

              Also, if you listen to Leather Terror, there’s 2 songs in there that have to be played back to back and its unbelievably hard. That would be Day Stalker and Night Prowler. Try listening to them back to back. Night Prowler starts extremely heavy

                The singer I was referring to was the singer from In This Moment, which I was comparing carpenter brut to, for reference. But yeah I’m definitely digging it as well as a few other artists I’ve never heard of on this playlist.
