Empty Closet Spotify Playlists

Hmmm....this might be tricky to do considering EC's policy on contact outside of the site. To share playlists on Spotify, you need to have either an account through them, or do what most people do and connect over Facebook. This would make it entirely too easy to look up people, and make contact with them.

But that's why this sub-forum exists. So we can talk about different types of music, and people can branch out.

So, what kind of music do you like? I listen to a wide range of stuff, so based on your current interests, I might be able to suggest some new genres or artists!

 

Hhhmmm...Rock/Metal you say? How intense are we talking here? Like, Death metal hard rock, or classic rock, nu metal? How much head banging takes place? What are some bands/artists you like?

 

Well then! Let's get weird.

I have three artists/groups that come to mind.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave.- Really heavy jazz, as the name implies. The leader of the group, Trombone Shorty, plays trombone, trumpet, and has a voice like an angel. I'd recommend starting with his album "Backatown." Gives a good mix of everything.

Gorillaz- A UK group. They are animated. They generally are hip-hop/rap, but they have some interesting techno stuff on a couple of albums. Start with Demon Days or their self titled ablum, Gorillaz.

Reel Big Fish- Third wave ska. This is just plain fun to listen to. It's rock music, with reggae influences in the bass line, and horns added in. Once you get deeper into the world of Ska, there are dozens of groups, each with a unique sound. Reel Big Fish is very horn-heavy, and very upbeat. Turn The Radio Off is a wonderful album, and so is Candy Coated Fury. Or, if you feel like listening to some adapted '80's tunes, just look them up on youtube. There's a bunch of videos, and from there you can find other Ska groups.

I'll throw in a fourth, because I"m a hipster.

The Crane Wives- An indie group from Michigan. They have a beautiful sound, reminiscent of Mumford and Sons. They're not terribly big yet, and all of their stuff is on Spotify. I'd start with Safe Ship, Harbored.


Hope this helps!
