"Modern" music

Post by Beaker »

What post-2010 music do you recommend?

We've all got "The Classics" and "Dad Rock" down pat, but what new shit that your kids could playing in bands have you found and you like?

My current replay is "Bloom" by Sludge Mother...

This caught my ear mainly because of the saxophone in it. Since starting to learn to play it my ears prick up whenever I hear it in anything current.
A friend saw them in Manchester recently, after recommending them to him and he said they were incredible and the crowd energy took him back to his old punk days.

there's lots of great stuff since 2010 even as someone who has drifted away from music a little bit

let's start nice and obvious with imho the best accessible guitar album of the period

The Child (not the one who is on here, t'other one) dragged me along to see Black Country New Road, who were inoffensive enough but middling. Support act was this lot who I really liked.

I think I've heard that on Radio 6. I quite like it.

Yeah, it's a bit VU, bit Patti Smith, but with British Posh Lass vocals. The fact I like it probably means it's instantly cringe and will be forgotten within 6 months

I've been slowly coaxed back into k-pop (especially XLOV) the last few months but I get the feeling that's not the vibe here so instead I'll say that mum put me on Grace Petrie, Sally Pepper, and Carsie Blanton. And dad put me on Rob Heron and the Teapad Orchestra. I liked a couple student bands from my 2 years at newman too, like cadaver beach who performed at the ferret and were, quite charmingly, playing music about their friend group drama to the crowd consisting of the rest of their friend group

Do you like Black Pink? I'm a bit partial to them.

I've become pretty terrible at keeping up with modern music over the last decade, but this was my favourite song from last year
