Wow, never heard Paris before, she's amazing! Thanks for checking out one of my recs Tim, Band-Maid are indeed an insanely talented group. In fact there's so much talent in the female rock/metal scene in Japan alone, it's insane, I don't know what they're putting in the water over there. I'd be happy to put together a bundle on that theme for you if that's something you're interested in, plenty of incredible music there to check out
OH I had never heard of Band-Maid before but I was sitting here thinking the singer sounds SO FAMILIAR. I see they've done the opening for the Anime Zenshu, which I really enjoyed. It's an anime where a professional animator who is under a lot of stress gets food poisoning and isekai / teleports to the world of their favorite animated movie. Very fun. Also always love to see Gerard Way. I learned JUST YESTERDAY from a random YouTube Music suggestion that he did a solo album back in 2014. I sincerely had no idea. I'll have to give that a listen.
Please please do more Band-Maid! They are without a doubt to most skilled and interesting modern rock band out there. Super creative song writing and top level musicianship among the five members. If you really want a good showing of Saiki's (lead singer) singing skills check out the live version of Endless Story. You really pick any song from their catalogue and have your mind blown, but I really recommend Ready to Rock, Super Sunshine, Forbidden Tale, Daydreaming, or Memorable. The live versions is where they really shine, but the studio stuff is hits just as hard
Would love to see you listen to Powerwolf!!
Band-Maid is immensely talented but still makes fun, approachable music. I would recommend checking out live performances from them because that's where they really shine. Unfortunately, some of the audio mixes on their live performances aren't great which isn't their fault, but I still think they are worth checking out. The studio versions are great too though. I used to be a big Fall Out Boy fan and haven't kept up with them but man does he still sound great. I'm going to have to check that whole album out now. I discovered Paris Paloma last year and have definitely become a fan. She has a lot to say so lyrics are very important with her music. I just like her voice and the vibe of her music in general. "Good Boy" is another song with great commentary on our society but more focused on the male experience. It would be a good follow-up to "Labour". Her new song is also good. She gives me Florence and the Machine vibes which is great because I love them.
Yayyy love to see more MCR!! And omg I never realized the similarities with Mr. Brightside but it would actually be in the other way around bc Bulletproof heart is from 2010 and Mr. Brightside from 2003
YAY i'm so glad you liked so much for stardust!! it's from their most recent album of the same name, and they do a lot of really cool orchestral and choir arrangements on the songs. jimmy butler is an NBA player who has an "emo" persona who is sometimes referred to as "heat wentz", playing off of pete wentz, fall out boy's bassist and frontman :]
Thank you for checking out Paris Paloma! Her sound and lyrics are really impactful. : )
