We have about two in common, which is awesome because it means there's some gold out there that'll be new to me (I'm releasing my list in a couple of hours). Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to dive in.

Wow, what a great list Jared!!! I really appreciate how much effort you put into this and your phrasing in the Album Descriptions is stellar. And Most importantly… a lot of Artists I have Not heard of 🫶🏻

I have really been enjoying Adrainne Lenkers live at Revolution Hall Album and Okonski‘s „Entrance Music“ with the matter one being the Soundtrack to my 2025 evenings.

I also have not listened to the latest Mars Volta though I did enjoy it a lot live when they debuted it! Once I hear the studio album I'll letcha know tho. It was different live but I had no complaints as it was performed very well.

Damn so many bands the past year have been doing this. But always best they end it with an album rather than some controversial split I guess!

Having admittedly only heard of four of these artists, I’m looking forward to discovering something new that might resonate, thanks!
