I'm back this week with a bunch of exciting new tracks after indulging in a week of musical flashbacks! As I explored the rich sounds of classic rock, I found myself tempted to dive into some legendary bands like RUSH, Van Halen, Boston, and Fleetwood Mac. I’m creating a playlist I’m calling "Vital Vinyl," which is shaping up to be a true “Megalist”—a thrilling collection encompassing several hundred expertly curated songs. You know the type: the kind that you hit play on and let it roll for days, immersing yourself in those feel-good vibes! If you're a fan of tunes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I promise this playlist is going to be one of my finest creations yet. I’ll be sure to share it here once it’s completed, but if you're already following me on Spotify, you have an early peek!
Now, shifting gears, I have five incredible new songs from some of my absolute favorite groups that I can’t wait to share. I recently stumbled upon MODERNS, a fabulous Synth/Retrowave band from Los Angeles featuring Christopher Fudurich and Rosie Okumura; they’re swiftly becoming a top pick on my playlists! Also on my radar are Fickle Friends from Brighton, UK, Yumi Zouma hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, and TOPPS, an indie pop gem from Montreal, Canada. It’s such a fantastic coincidence that all three of these amazing bands are dropping fresh tracks simultaneously—I’ve been loving their music for years!
And let’s not overlook Truefaith, the Filipino New Wave band that's been in the game since 1993, despite switching members here and there. They’re named after the iconic 1987 New Order hit “True Faith,” and it’s only now, in 2025, that they’ve finally come onto my radar. I’m excited to dive into their catalog and catch up on all the gems I've missed!
These five songs are just a taste of some of the best music out there today, and I can't wait for you to check them out! Stay tuned for more updates as I continue on this musical journey!
