Downtown Music Mountain

Downtown Music Mountain #3 Now usually, I would only post on Sunday, but I wanted to make an exception for every last day of the month. I wanted to talk about my anticipated albums for the upcoming month. I don't know if this will be an every month thing, seeing as I don't have any albums in December I'm looking forward to. Of course, I'll do my research but anyways, here are my 8 albums I'm looking forward to in September! Gonna keep it relatively short since I've got eight bands to pay attention to here. Alazka: Pheonix  Release date: September 1st, 2017 I found this band pretty recently so not much I can say about them. Also the fact that I've only heard 3 songs by them. So I won't be coming into this album with long awaited expectations. Still, from what I've heard, I'm really interested, especially to hear more of those cleans. Blindwish: Good Excuses Release Date: September 1st, 2017 Even less I can say about this b...

Downtown Music Mountain #2 I'll admit, at first I wasn't a big fan of instrumental bands. A band with no vocals? Nothing I can sing along to? How can anyone get into this? But after giving bands like Chon, Save Us From The Archon, and Covet a chance, I noticed that instrumentals in songs are usually so taken for granted. Three new instrumental bands inspired me to show off the underrated talent they have: Fox Vibes, Sincerely, and Elders. Check out my summaries of them below and make sure to show them love! Fox Vibes From Leominster, Massachusetts  Latest Release: Mantra EP (July 14th, 2017) What makes Fox Vibes so impressive, is the fact that they are essentially a solo project by Anthony Cepeda Jr. Creating a plethora of jazz metal fusion sounds. This band is for fans of Strawberry Girls and Chon for sure, but do not mistake them for clones by any means. The guitar/bass tracking is so all over the place (in a good way), that it makes you wonder how on...

Welcome people! Welcome to Downtown Music Mountain, your new favorite blog! My name is Cory and while this is a solo project from me, I want to create a community where everyone can come together and enjoy the music I talk about. This first post will serve as an introduction to myself. MY FAVORITE BANDS 1. Hail the Sun My favorite band since late 2015, I love everything they have put out, especially Wake, their crowning achievement in my opinion. 2. The Venus De Melos Definitely the most obscure band on this list. As put on their Bandcamp, they deliver a plethora of sounds and emotions. Their roller coaster  of instrumentals show what math rock truly is. 3. The Fall of Troy As picky as I am, The Fall of Troy really hit it off for me. Aggressive yet tame at points. If you’re into watching someone shred a guitar, look no further than Thomas Erak. 4. Stolas Stolas is a prime example that change is not always a bad thing. After the depar...
