NewMusicMonth – Swaay & The Suffers

#NewMusicMonth

Day 11 – Swaay

The Who:

DNCE is a super newfangled band featuring the one of the Jonas brothers as a front man.  I only know this because Gabby was over when I was watching the video for Cake by the Ocean and she was like “That’s a Jonas!” and I kinda felt a way about myself because I don’t know anything about the Jonases except that I shouldn’t like them.  And I really like Levels by Nick Jonas.  While I made big praise about good things happening when bands take break from each other, I really speak on anything JoBro’s have done.

The Why:

Cake by the Ocean is my jam. MY JAM.

The Deets:

This isn’t even a CD.  It’s an EP, just a 4 song collection from the band.  I suppose it’s enough really.  Kind of an old school way to do it, especially since people don’t have to buy a whole CD anymore.

The Verdict:

I liked all 4 songs.  It’s fun and you can dance to it and that’s really all I was expecting.  They’re more summer jams so I hope to remember to jam them in the summer, although I did have my sunroof open when I was signing.  Cake by the Ocean is still my jam.

Sample:

 

Day 12 – The Suffers

The Who:

A 10-piece band from Houston.  I mean REP. RE. SENT.

The Why:

A 10-PIECE BAND FROM HOUSTON. REP. RE. SENT.

The Deets:

I went to Cactus Music some months ago (shop local y’all) and got their EP and loved the songs.  And they did a Kickstarter for their full LP.  Like they really do just work their jobs and play music at night kind of thing.  And now the full CD is out and I didn’t go back to Cactus yet because I knew it would be packed from an in-house concert but it is streaming on Amazon.

Verdict:

YES!  Granted two songs from the EP are on the full-length CD but so what.  It’s just good funky music and I’m always in the mood for that.  I’m bias but it’s my blog so I reserve that right.  Go and get their merch and listen to the things and have a good rest of your day.
