Nothing new is speaking to me lately. Can anyone recommend a newish band with some energy to it (ie not like a Beach House kind of thing)?
For reference my favorite record last year was Hop Along. I checked our PUP but it was a bit too jokey for me.
Here's some rock/punk stuff from the last few months. I love the PUP record but I can get finding it jokey.Nothing new is speaking to me lately. Can anyone recommend a newish band with some energy to it (ie not like a Beach House kind of thing)?

I know Vundabar and Pile are Boston bands and I believe Potty Mouth started there (but are in Los Angeles now? Can't remember) so I'm going to guess it's Boston bandsWeakened Friends, Sidney Gish, Palehound, Pile, Potty Mouth, Fucko, Vundabar
These bands all have something in common a star to who figures it out.
I was looking at my newish albums not newish acts (since ya mentioned hop along who have been around for like 15 years). I apologize profuselyCool, that's a nice long list to dig into (more are welcome).
And ahem Juliana Hatfield is not "newish" ;)

I've heard about backyard shows but I guess playing living rooms is a thing now?

I'm 34. I just discovered Stereolab.
It seems I have lots of listening to do...
An album a year plus EP's for a very long time, so a lot to get into. I've never really dug into them, even though French Disko is one of my all time favourite songs.
A disappointing year for me so far, good albums here and there but nothing special

Seeing the last show on the Better Oblivion Community Centre Tour tonight, I'm sure it'll be amazing per reactions to shows so far this tour
I strongly recommend checking out Alex Lahey's album The Best of Luck Club. Jams all over this thing. I will be blasting it all summer
Leaving for Barcelona tomorrow for Primavera.
I plan to see this
There are some big names on sunday I didn't mark because I'm not familiar with the work (James Blake, Solange, Stereolab). If there are great live acts I didn't mark, please let me know. I just marked what I'm familiar with. On saturday in particular I haven't marked much. I've already seen Kate Tempest and she was awesome, but I don't know if I'll go again.
I've heard good things about Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes playing on sunday. The new album, End of suffering, is good as well but not as good as the previous album, Modern ruin.
I shook Bob Pollard's hand and got to see GBV live on saturday. My life is complete.
Hope it was good. I'm seeing them for the first time ever on Thursday. They've not been in UK since 2002 I think.
