FELIX'S ULTIMATE WEEKLY BAND RECS
Week 9 11/11/24
Acid Cherry
A female punk band from Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia. I saw them live last month and have really stuck with me since. They're filled with rage and very talented even though they were down a member when I saw them.

Careful Gaze
I would desrcibe them as a post hardcore band and at times a 5th wave emo band. Some songs are very heavy and others not so much. I've been listening to them since 2019 when they released their first album, You Too Will Rest, and they have been consistently releasing music since. I once recommended one their songs to a friend. That friend has not talked to me since lmao.

Salem (British Punk Band)
There are few bands by the name of Salem but this one formed in 2019 and Will Gould (of Creeper) is the lead singer. Originally the five songs were never meant to be released but during covid when Creeper was ot able to tour they released the five songs under Salem as an EP and later released a second 5 song EP and embarked on touring. One of their songs also appears in the Scream 5.

As Sirens Fall
They are an alternative rock band from the UK and the lead singer, Mikey, reminds me of Billy Joe Armstrong. I discovered them in 2020 duing covid when I spent all my time online talking to people on the other side of the globe. The woman that recommended them to me lived in the same area they were from and saw them live a few times.

Worriers
An amazing punk band, with main singer/songwriter Lauren Denitzio. They mainly sing about love, heartbreak, gender identity and the end of the world. While they are punk they mix things up with the occassional sombre ballad or acoustic song. I have their 2015 album, Imaginary Life, on CD and it's one of my absolute favourites!

Krave
Rock and metal band from Brisbane Australia. I've seen them twice now and one of their shows were FREE!! The lead singer has such good energy and stage presence. They only have three members but they do not lack energy or skill.

Fangbanger
I've been listening to them since they released their second song in June 2020. They're very punk, very gothic and often bend genres.

Badflower
They recently released a new song called Detroit that I can't get out of my head and I saw them live on the 11/08/24. It was absolutely surreal.I've been a fan of the band for over 5 years now and they are yet to dissapoint me.
