What are you listening to Escapists? (June 2015 Edition)

[Guffe]

At this very moment it's "Vintage Trouble"

For me a completely new band, apparently they've been touring with TheWho and similar bands. They came to my attantion as they will be opening up the ACDC concert I'm going on in July, so I'm doing some research on what is to come
So far, pretty good to be honest, most comments say they are better live than in their videos, many recent commenters being from the same RockOrBust tour that I'm going on.

Spoiler: One song from VintageTrouble, the one currently on

Postmodern Jukebox, who do "old-timey", meaning genres like jazz, ragtime and classic soul, style covers of modern hit songs. They often end up being vastly superior than the original. They're the best thing I've found all year.

Spoiler: Just some examples

 

[The Jovian]

Recently I've been listening to Mark Ronson,

Spoiler: Bang! Bang! Bang!

lots,

Spoiler: Gonna ride my bike until I get home.

and lots,

Spoiler: Feel right in this Mutha!

and lots,

Spoiler: Valeriiiiie!

of Ronson. He's done other tings than this you know.

Spoiler: Uptown, funk you up!

So awesome.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Thanks to my inability to find music myself most of the time, a lot of stuff I've been listening to recently is music that was played during E3 conference.

Spoiler: A remix of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - In The Heat Of The Moment from the ACS vid

Spoiler: It's All Over But The Crying by The Ink Spots. Unsurprisingly from Fallout 4

Spoiler: Move by Audio Adrenaline. From the Sony conference

Spoiler: Go by The Chemical Brothers. Again, thanks to the Sony conference

Spoiler: Finally, thanks to watching some old LoadingReadyRun streams (specifically Swiftly Tilting Cameron), $4 Vic by El-P

[smithy_2045]

I've been listening the shit out of Muse's new album, Drones. To a slightly lesser extent, I've also been listening to Enter Shikari's latest offering in The Mindsweep and The Wombat's latest in Glitterbug.

 

[MetalDooley]

Mostly ZZ Top and Mastodon at the moment.ZZ Top because I went to see them last monday and Mastodon because I'm going to see them live next saturday

 

[Scarim Coral]

Nothing new really. Ever since I watched Kung Fury (LOVED IT) I kept on listenning to this track in their soundtrack-

It's so good!!

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

I've been going back to basics after surviving some of the most difficult two weeks of recent memory - right back to the first band I ever saw in concert.

So glad my first concert wasn't something embarrassing.

Spoiler: The inimitable Men At Work

 

[MysticSlayer]

Helloween released their latest album early this month (or late last month, can't remember). It's nothing special, but it's enjoyable enough that I've listened to it quite a bit over the last month:

Spoiler

I've also been enjoying Kamelot's latest album a lot lately:

Spoiler

Spotify also, for once, sent me in the direction of a band (Instanzia) I had never heard of but turned out to like...or at least I enjoy the one album they've released:

Spoiler

And also a ton of older stuff:

[J Tyran]

Been listening to a lot of stuff but this tune has really been doing it for me lately,

Spoiler: MitiS - Life of Sin

Soundcloud Link [https://soundcloud.com/mitis/sets/life-of-sin]

 

[Michael Tabbut]

With the announcement that Disturbed is coming out of their hiatus and a new album in 2 months, I've been binge listening to their albums out of a borderline nostalgic itch. Other than that though heres some other stuff.
None in any particular order

Spoiler: Tool-Lateralus

Spoiler: Scar Symmetry-Technocalyptic Cybergeddon

Spoiler: Scandroid-Aphelion

Spoiler: Blue Stahli-Not Over Til We Say So

Spoiler: Celldweller-Down To Earth

Spoiler: Trivium-Villainy Thrives

 

[FPLOON]

Spoiler: Die in a Fire

The Living Tombstones FNAF 3 song. It is probably my favourite walking tune, also good for any other action with repetitive, rhythmic movement (such as hacking animatronic animals apart with a hatchet).

Now, I'm reminded that someone took that song and mashed it with Smash Mouth...

Spoiler: Five Nights At Shrek's 3

I think the same person who did this mashup also did it to the other FNAF songs by TLT...

 

[Skatologist]

Spoiler: Suburban Legends' new album (at least a few songs)

[ytlist=PL7hE8byCKV9do5mXGhz18kbVUHzKBaH4a]

Spoiler: Atom Bomb Baby by The Five Stars due to the Fallout trailer for Beth's showcase

Spoiler: A few songs covered in Pitch Perfect 2 peaked my interest

 

[Saetha]

Recently, I remember (Again) that Metric exists, and then I remembered that I'm not too much about their newer work. So I've been binging Fantasies. Specifically...

Spoiler

and

Aaaaand that's pretty much it right now! Really hope those videos embedded properly!

EDIT: The videos embedded fine but the spoiler did not!

 

[BreakfastMan]

At the moment, getting my weird noise-rock on, yo.
