New Music Friday - Featuring The Temper Trap, Camp Crush, Monody, Magnetic Skies and Nation of Language

Hello again, music enthusiasts! It's that thrilling time of the week – New Music Friday is upon us, and tonight we’ve got an exhilarating lineup of fresh tunes just waiting for you to discover. Over the last few weeks, I indulged you with some beloved flashback features that I know you enjoyed just as much as I loved curating them. It’s always a joy to reminisce, but today, let’s fully immerse ourselves in the present.

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!

(FLASHBACK) Music Friday - Featuring Chvrches, Foster the People, The Preatures, The Temper Trap and Kaiser Chiefs

I hope everyone is doing well! As I mentioned last week, I've decided to take a little break from my new music feature this week. Instead, I’m excited to hop into the Wayback Machine and explore some classic tracks that still hold a special place in our playlists. These songs are truly remarkable, and in my honest opinion, they’ve achieved that timeless quality that makes them worth revisiting. 

I was genuinely surprised while putting together this collection to discover that all of these tracks are over a decade old! It’s incredible how quickly time flies, isn’t it? Our musical tastes often have a way of evolving, yet certain songs continue to resonate with us, no matter how many years pass.

Happy Friday, everyone! It’s that time of the week again when I share some of my favorite music picks with you all. I’ve poured quite a bit of time and passion into curating this list of fresh tracks, and I think you’re going to love what I’ve found for you this week.

New Music Friday On A Thursday Because Of A Holiday - The Top Modern Wave Songs For The Week!

 Written By: Ken Hulsy

Hey everyone! Since tomorrow is the 4th of July, I decided to move my new music feature up a day so I can share some historical and patriotic content in honor of our independence. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been focusing on one specific group for these features, but honestly, there’s just so much incredible music out there that I realized I need to widen my scope. So, tonight, I'm excited to present a top five list of songs based on the most listens from last.fm. I had to lean on that external source for this list because, if I had done it myself, it might have been a bit overwhelming. 

Let’s start with my top pick from the playlist, which I think of as a modern take on Saint Etienne's 1994 gem, "Like A Motorway." While it might not be brand new, it's definitely a song that will completely blow your mind!

How "The Flow" reflects MTTM’s unique style and sound

Written By Ken Hulsey

There are so many bands out there trying to revive the iconic New Wave sounds of the 1980s and give them a fresh spin for today’s listeners. One group that’s made quite an entrance recently is the German trio MTTM, who just burst onto the scene last year. Many of these bands love to say, “If you’re a fan of Depeche Mode, The Cure, and New Order, then you’ll love us.” And in MTTM's case, that statement definitely holds true!
