Black Pistol Fire - Hope in Hell

I've still got a few left in the tank. 

I'm not as high on these songs individually as I am on the albums from which they came.  I just went ahead and picked the first song from each artist's new album since they're both exceptionally listenable.  I've really enjoyed putting these on in the background when sitting around and socializing with guests.  They really add to the atmosphere without dominating it.

[Eephus]

14.e - Dazy - Perpetual Motion 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

10.e - Enola Gay - Sofa Surfing

excellent stuff.

and led me to their only other song on spotify The Birth of a Nation, which is from last year and I think even better.  Huge potential. No wonder that "On November 26, 2020, Enola Gay was ranked number eight on District Magazine's The Future of Irish Music: 2021 list"

P.S. rules are for suckers anyway

Genrepalooza 4 was when the weekends took up arms as not getting enough love from the music nerds.

This is it for me, boys.  I'm tapping out after these selections, both of which are from the same band and were released as singles back in 2018.  The band finally got around to releasing a full length album this year which included these songs making them fair game for this draft.  I actually went back through the old 2018/2019 drafts to see if I had selected them back then and they were not, so they should still be fresh to you.  So without further adieu, the closing picks for the Sledgehammers.

SCS 15a

Dead Poet Society - American Blood

SCS 16p

Dead Poet Society - .CoDA.

Thanks for the playlist.  I'll come back and try to throw some likes around as I parse my way through this beast.
