agent orange is sick. if you're into early - mid 80s california hardcore at all, check out JFA. they also had surf influences and a similar sound on a number of songs.

houdini is the only melvins album ive listened to and its really good but thats not a great song from it!! lol

good shit, definitely going in the playlist

rap rock + cutesy radio pop rock production and instrumentation may be the most offensive combination of things I've ever heard. it's like a mix of P.O.D. and that "dumb ways to die" song. I try to keep an open mind but I'm actually unhappy that I heard that.

solid cover. really relaxing

I really like that grimy bass in an otherwise airy song, nice contrast.

really relaxing

Not really digging this album. Love the violin though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_pBJN_O3M

that was pretty great. got boring fast, though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4xTXB30hCQ

actually gonna go in the playlist, that one.

Beat is real nice, guy sounds kind of like Sean Price in a way, really liking this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO7D9e4m-AM

Smooth. pretty good.

I kinda wish the beat and flow were going a little bit faster, but i like it. Good one.

solid 90s east coast hip hop, which is easily my favorite sound in the genre.

Passion Pit - Take a Walk

Doesn't really do it for me. The vocals seem really flat. (Not pitch, delivery wise). The synths sound really cheesy to me. Percussion programming is reallly boring. Maybe I'm just jaded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RIPzoctStg

Vocals weren't the greatest in my opinion, the whole song just seemed sloppy, but maybe thats just me.

I... can't enjoy the happy, japanese.... I don't know what kind of genre that even is.... Sorry, I appreciate you sharing I guess, but I just really really don't like it....

- Warning I'm into metal/rock.
- Addendum: I'll try and pick a nicer song though.

Cool I used to listen to these kind of tunes, cool Egyptian vibes.

These guys are pretty good, they have a free album on their website too I think

i did enjoy your song, but it's not necessarily anything i'd go back to listen to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZN2lQC8g5s

have fun

i dig it. going to the playlist, thanks

It was alright. Not my cup of tea, and I felt it kind of droned on for a little long. It feels like lots of songs mashed together. Still alright though.

.

That sounds real nice. Might listen to more from them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqZU3ftiHEo

really liked the lyrics, and how the piano was brought out, like it wasnt all about elton.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmg63foo4y4

it's alright.
bit disappointed with the melody of the piano. 240p also does not help ;p
i'd say it's certainly good if you look at how bad most hip-hop/rap is.
my pleasure meter says 6.6

Koan - When The Silence Is Speaking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75ukBYcS8Qc

it's very loungy, and imo very nice for when you do (home)work, or something creative like drawing, photoshop, etc.
otherwise i'd say it's just solid background music. it sets a nice mood :)

I can't not love KOAN!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUs8RQJdzXk

I'm not feeling the beat too much, not really sure why, maybe the drums? Just not clicking with me that well. Maybe I'll have to give it another listen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAFVu_A4OwQ

incredible combination of dull beats, your generic tedious lil' wayne rap with ludicrous lyrics. no thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Laggk8iunqw

It's okay. Not my type of music though.
