New Music Recommendations

The audacious new album Empty Hands from LA’s most aggressive pop singer, Poppy, is one hell of a ride. Issac Hale of Knocked Loose is a featured writer on this record and BOY does it show. Typically, I’m not the biggest fan of when artists do a full 180 switch between genres in their records, but it works so well here. If you don’t have the time/interest to listen to the whole record(you’re crazy), listen to the tracks: Unravel, Dying To Forget and Time Will Tell in order. If you don’t at least chortle from that string of songs…well…idk, there’s no helping you. FFO: Spiritbox, Korn, Architects, Bring Me The Horizon.
