#gang of youths
Not all songs are about love. Some are about finding out your dead father committed identity fraud.
Someone please recommend me songs with the same vibes as ‘Someone New’ by Hozier and 'Let Me Down Easy’ by Gang Of Youths
One of my favorite Spotify finds over the past couple years is Gang of Youths, a mangy Australia band who play guitars as if they’re still in fashion and sing with a ferocity associated with much older bands. Their new record, Go Farther in Lightness, has its quieter moments, but the band still burns bright. In this live clip, you see “The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows” roar into brilliant life. The band sounds impressively tight, and frontman David Le'aupepe is a mangy, unlikely heartthrob.
rb with your absolute NO skip albums i need recommendations or just wanna hear y’alls faves
“hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone”
“today of all days”
“there may not be meaning so find one and seize it”

Alternative Bands You Need To Listen To Part 4:
Pale Waves (takes me back to the good ole early 2000s punk era, super cute band and really catchy songs)
Wolf Alice (even though you SHOULD have heard their stuff by now, if you haven’t please do. my absolute favorite band who are underrated af with a mix of hard punk, alternative, rock, and slow songs)
DMA’s✖️(one of the greatest bands I’ve ever heard, big Oasis vibes, highly recommend)
The Struts (retro rock, super catchy)
Dante Elephante (<i love this emoji lol but this band is a few yrs old with bops that nobody knows about, indie-alternative stuff with good riffs and melodies)
Bloodboy (good punk/pop, not some emo screamy shit, amazing voice and cool songs)
SWMRS☀️(right in between the indie and punk genre - anyways it’s catchy and super good music)
Shame (an awesome band with songs that have a classic-rock sound to them with modern influences, some of my favorite new songs)
The Buttertones (think of The Cramps with a saxophone, really really unique alternative music that is really worth a listen)
Gang of Youths▪️(more indie-alternative but really catchy songs that are actually deep and not about cigarettes and sex and british shit)
Otherkin (garage-punk songs, basic riffs and melodies that are composed so well together, reminds me of early alternative/punk stuff)
Gallus (they only have one song and ik they’re gonna be huge, so please give a listen)
Mt. Eddy (their album is one of my favorites, reminiscent of early Strokes stuff, alternative/indie sounds with strong guitar and drums)
Alex Lahey ⚡️ ~ indie pop songs that will immediately make you fall in love
Catfish and the Bottlemen (just in case you haven’t listened to these fools, please do and thank you. indie-alternative godly music that will make you an expert in british slang {“lippy” is chapstick HA} while restoring your faith in decent music)

As a tragic classical literary character. (Inspired by a conversation with @theforgottenanomaly!)
“Throw yourself into the unknown, with pace and fury defiant”. ~ Achilles Come Down by Gang Of Youths
Thinking about the Achilles Come Down lyrics, “You crave the applause yet hate the attention then miss it, your act is a ruse.” And how that feels like when Donald Miller said, “Who trusts people to love who they really are? Who is willing to take the risk? Nobody steps onto a stage and gets a standing ovation for being human. You have to dance or something.” But he also said, “I act less than before and get less applause but feel slightly more loved.” And I don’t know what to do with that.
Too tired from saving money just to save myself.
