May Radio 2025 Alternative New Music

  So it feels like there is way more new music that was presented this month on the radio compared to previous, I'm assuming that a second wave of touring is going to be schedule for the summer.  I'll compare the counts compared to last month but a lot of the dominating songs came out this year and last year, compared to legacy bands and the one hit wonders.  JUSTICE Neverender f/Tame Impala 112 *** THE BLACK KEYS The Night Before 110 *** SHINEDOWN Three Six Five 109 *** JONAH KAGEN God Needs The Devil 102 *** AWOLNATION Barbarian 101 **** GREEN DAY One Eyed Bastard 90 **** HEAD AND THE HEART Arrow 88 ** CAGE THE ELEPHANT Metaverse 82 ** PAPA ROACH Even If It Kills Me 74 *** WOMBATS Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't ... 73 ** SOMBR Back To Friends 73 *** DJO Basic Being Basic 71 *** MYLES SMITH Nice To Meet You 69 *** FRANZ FERDINAND Hooked 68 *** COHEED AND CAMBRIA Someone Who Can 63 *** BAD SUNS Communicating 63 *** LINKIN PARK Up From The Bottom 62 *** MUMFORD & SONS Rush...

Coachella/stagecoach 2025 Recap

 There were a handful of artists who I had meant to see in Indio for Coachella and Stagecoach and others who I ended up at and as much as I have FOMO, I wouldn't change a lot of my decisions the past month for a lot.  Friday I wanted to see The Go Go's, MARINA, Tyla, LISA, Miike Snow, Parcels, and Lady Gaga. a lot of these artists I wanted to see because like LISA, I have seen her before and know she puts on a great show, Lady Gaga as well, and I wanted to see what her next tour would be like.  Other artist The Go Go's, Tyla, and MARINA I know a couple of their songs and wanted to see them live. Miike Snow and The Parcels, I have heard great things about them both.   for Friday, I started off at the Do Lab, going to see Patricio, and J Philips.

About 10 songs that came out this year. Barbarian is a huge song and a catchy one. Papa roach is new, "One Eye Bastard" is a huge Green Day song, feels very British, the guitar riffs and all.
