Recommended Album: Pinkshift – ‘Love Me Forever’
Count the debut full-length from the Baltimore punk trio as an instant emo classic that’s going to stitch up the masses’ hearts in the years to come…

Recommended Album: MAVI – ‘Laughing so Hard, it Hurts’
The Carolina rapper is just figuring this life (and its “jokes”) out, and with that, we’re privy to be a part of that journey with him, cracks in the sidewalk and all.
-

Recommended Album: Knifeplay – ‘Animal Drowning’
On their debut album, the Philly experimental rockers bound light and darkness into their own singular prism of alternative in a way that breathes a new life into it, and ponders it all deeply.
-

Recommended Album: Taylor Swift – ‘Midnights’
One of Swift’s most cohesively-designed albums in mood and theme, further expanding her musical multi-universe by yet another layer.
-

Recommended Album: They Are Gutting a Body of Water – ‘lucky styles’
The third full-length effort from the Philly experimental band realizes their most wildest yet appeasing impulses in one sitting.
-

Recommended Album: Punitive Damage – ‘This Is the Blackout’
Personally confrontationally hardcore that puts an emphasis on life from the margins, smashing power structures, and devouring the rich with a bladesaw aggression.
-

Recommended Album: Palm – ‘Nicks and Grazes’
The third album from the Philadelphia band is pop extracted from every high and lull of emotion, but unlike one meant to imitate anything beyond the moment its consumed.
-

Recommended Album: The 1975 – ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’
It’s funny how a less tryhard form of sincerity works just as well in the alternative pop-rock band’s favor on their sixth studio effort.
-

Recommended Album: Enumclaw – ‘Save the Baby’
After breaking through obscurity and a hometown burnout scene last year with their ‘Jimbo Demo’ EP, the Tacoma four-piece are learning to reconcile where they come from with where they’re going on another impressive collection of saccharine indie rock.

Recommended Album: Alvvays – ‘Blue Rev’
The third LP from the Toronto indie-pop band is a refinement in harmony between melody and bursts in their vision’s hue.
