Rusted Root in tier list I’m kinda on the fence about this, to be honest. There’s a lot that I almost like, and a fair bit that I like pretty well, and a fair bit that I just don’t care for. I could see any of those three categories shifting in a number of directions.Continue reading “365: Rusted Root (B-)”

364: Philip Labes (A-)
Philip Labes in tier list This is low A- territory for me, and I can’t quite tell if it earned that solidly or if it kinda eked it out. A lot of the songs I don’t really love that much. They’re decent, but I think on their face I’d be inclined to put them inContinue reading “364: Philip Labes (A-)”
363: Sun Not Yellow (A-)
Sun Not Yellow in tier list I almost merged this into one entry with 362: The Mellowells (A-). They were recommended to me as basically the same band, where Sun Not Yellow is just The Mellowells after one band member left, and listening to all the music from both… yeah. It’s pretty much just the sameContinue reading “363: Sun Not Yellow (A-)”
362: The Mellowells (A-)
The Mellowells in tier list Very solid. Kinda reminds me of 196: Feed Me Jack (A→A+), if only for the extreme “college indie pop-rock band” vibes in how it’s recorded. And the music too, I guess, but it as generally pleasant and solid as I think this is, it is not nearly as tasty as FeedContinue reading “362: The Mellowells (A-)”
361: RAYE (A)
RAYE in tier list She’s got a ton of singles and shorter EPs, and I kinda didn’t really care for any of them. There were bits and pieces that I thought were cool and fun; enough to catch my ear and get my hopes up, but not enough to consistently like her. There was justContinue reading “361: RAYE (A)”
360: Jesse Welles (A-)
Jesse Welles in tier list This one took a while, dang. I had planned in my notes that Jesse would take me about a week, and instead he took me more than three. That is because I made that plan having only looked into the stuff the he put out under the Jesse Welles name.Continue reading “360: Jesse Welles (A-)”
359: Skegss (B-)
Skegss in tier list It’s alright. Enjoyable enough, pretty basic pop rock/pop punk with pretty good energy. They clean up and tighten up as they keep making more music, but it never really becomes more than it is, more than it was at the start. I have nothing against it, and I think I couldContinue reading “359: Skegss (B-)”
358: Folk Bitch Trio (C-)
Folk Bitch Trio in tier list They don’t have very much music released right now, but of what there is, most of it is too mellow for me by half. There are a couple that I really think are lovely—”God’s A Different Sword” and “Analogue”—and a few others that I like well enough and enjoy,Continue reading “358: Folk Bitch Trio (C-)”
357: Madison Cunningham (A-)
Madison Cunningham in tier list This is good stuff, super solid. Just, good songs. Nice arrangements, I like her voice, I like the lyrics and the style. Definitely up my alley. Her second album, Revealer, I particularly like. I was strongly leaning toward liking it already after Who Are You Now, and I think itContinue reading “357: Madison Cunningham (A-)”
356: Chumbawamba (C-)
Chumbawamba in tier list I can already feel that I didn’t give this one its due. I’m feeling pretty shitty right now, and I know that affects how I write these things. I’d say I was also feeling pretty shitty for many of the days I was listening to the band across the last coupleContinue reading “356: Chumbawamba (C-)”
