DRUNK JUNE PHOTO OP…

MATT'S JUNE MUSIC REWIND...

July 08, 2023 by Matt Bates

June was another great month for indie, rock, ska, hardcore music in general releases!

Standouts: Jack Kays - BLOC PARTY - CLIFFDIVER

Jack Kays - Only joined TikTok a few weeks ago, but damn are their algorithms great. I thought this dude was a chef, but turns out he writes songs - and they are great! Check it out!

BLOC PARTY - One of my favorite bands of all time. STOKED they are playing and writing again - do yourself a favor and check out their entire catalog.

CLIFFDIVER - Wow. Insanely catchy and highly recommend! Also, I think there is like 15-16 band members in this band? I lost count. Check it out!

Check it all out on Spotify or Apple Music now!
