New Music Recommendations

Virginia’s Mathcore trio, fallfiftyfeet, dropped an absolute barn burner of a record. Counterfeit Recollections covers so many different subgenres in these 12 tracks and includes some sick vocal features from 156/Silence, PRINCESS and buriedbutstillbreathing. Maybe they should tour soon 👀. FFO: Boundaries, 156/Silence, Johnny Booth, Every Time I Die and The Callous Daoboys.
