I would not call myself a music nerd. I do not have a deep understanding of the technical art or the complex theory behind the tracks I love.
But let’s be real:
I cannot live without music.
For a long time, I was the kind of person who stayed in a comfort zone, keeping the same few albums on repeat. Lately, I have realized that I want more. I am looking for something new that actually hits. This shift toward constant music discovery is part of growing up, and I am ready to turn this search into a real project.
Finding the Best New Bands
If I had to pick one genre to live in, it would definitely be Metalcore. I know the experts love to argue about the exact definitions and sub-genres, but for me, it is simple. If there is a „Blegh“ in the track, I am probably going to like it.
However, I am not a gatekeeper. I just like good music, period. My rotation is a mix of everything: Taylor Swift, Jelly Roll, Bring Me the Horizon, Rise Against, and Knocked Loose etc. If the music is solid, it gets a spot in my ears. I have made it a personal quest to find cool, fresh sounds, and I want to show people what I have found. That is why I am launching a dedicated category here on the site.
Moving Beyond the Second Brain
I spend a lot of time researching the people behind the songs I enjoy. Usually, that information just sits in my Second Brain for my own reference.
I realized that is a waste. I want to share that deep dive with you. By writing about the bands and artists I discover, I give myself a reason to keep looking. I do not want to be the guy who finds one new song a year and calls it a day. I want to stay curious.
My goal is to be the person you text when you need something fresh for your rotation. I want to provide those little nuggets of new music that you probably never would have found on your own.
A Curated Spotify Playlist That Actually Hits
Music is always playing in my world. But honestly, I am getting a bit bored with my old, predictable background noise. I still like the songs, but I need variety. Since the Spotify Smart Shuffle is still pretty terrible, I am taking matters into my own hands.
I am building a curated Spotify playlist that will grow over time. I am putting in the work to ensure every single track is a banger. You can follow along with my posts to find new individual tracks, or you can just follow the playlist if you want to give me full control over the vibe.
Join the Mayhem
If you are ready to find new music that actually moves the needle, keep an eye on this new category. I am putting the work in so you don’t have to.
If you have stumbled across an artist lately that I absolutely need to hear, reach out and let me know.
