This Week's Picks: 10/28-11/4

Two reasons to celebrate: a) it’s Friday b) a new playlist is up! 

For this week, the setlist I curated is a mix of bands I saw at the Meadows festival in the beginning of the month, and some new music I’ve been listening to. 

The first track “Washed up Together” from Knox Hamilton has been stuck in my head all week! Their site describes their sound as "laid back guitar riffs and catchy bass lines with rhythmic drum beats and soaring vocals to produce a sound that’s as likely to make you want to visit the beach as it is to move your feet”. Theyre definitely a band that I will be watching over the next couple of months.

As I mentioned before, I went to The Meadows festival in Queens, New York the first weekend of October. There I saw The Temper Trap, Empire of the Sun, and Coast Modern. I included songs from all three groups in the playlist this week. My favorite track of the three would have to be "High and Low" from Empire of the Sun. They put a lot of effort into their performances and were really fun to watch.


Jimmy Eat World and Cloud Nothings both just released new singles in the last couple of weeks, which are also featured this week. I highly recommend giving them a listen and checking out the rest of their new music!

Have a great weekend and enjoy!
