Frontier Ruckus is a band that I grew up alongside. I shamelessly plug them whenever I get a chance. They make music about the places I grew up and sing about it in a way that makes me feel so close to it. Their new album just came out, but their first 2 albums are their standout. The Orion Songbook and Deadmalls and Nightfalls.

MODERATORS
-
Anderson .Paak: I know he's pretty popular but I feel like it's mostly because of his Silk Sonic stuff. His solo albums are great, especially Malibu. He's an incredibly talented musician and entertainer. I would strongly recommend anyone watch his Tiny Desk if you haven't already.
-
Atlus: Pumps out a lot of music, not all of them are bangers. But he has a lot of good songs.
-
Josh A / iamjakehill: I grouped them because they do a lot of music together but they are each fantastic on their own. Save Our Souls is such a great album.
-
Brothers of Metal: Fun power metal band that makes music about Norse mythology. Makes you want to ride out into battle. I've shown this band to multiple people who are not metal/power metal fans and they love it.
-
Lorna Shore: I know Through the Hellfire went viral and they are pretty popular for a Deathcore band. But they definitely deserve more recognition. I used to listen to a lot of Deathcore in high school 15 years ago and Lorna Shore single handedly got me back into it. I must've listened to all of Pain Remains at least 50 times. I can't get enough of Ramos's vocals and Archey's drumming.

Light the Torch: If you loved Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones vocals then you will love this.

Donny Benét has the potential to be massive. Guy is a legend
Jason Molina, particularly his last act, "Songs: Ohia". Singer, songwriter, sad bastard indie rock artist who died in his early thirties from complications of alcoholism. Like Will Oldham with more bluesy pop influences instead of bluegrass and folk.

Shilpa ray.
Here’s her audiotree live session, but if no one is going to invest 30 minutes into a new artist, at least check out this part, two of her best songs done in a sort of medley format.
I’ve seen her play a few times, once she was playing for free on a sidewalk, which seemed criminal to me, honestly. She’s way too good to be setting up her own shit and waiting while some bar owner’s nephew futzes with a shitty PA system. Second time she had her full band and it was hands down the best show I saw last year. And I saw a lot of great shows, KNOWER being one of them, mononeon, Sleafors Mods, Dry Cleaning…

Dead Posey I think needs more awareness.
