These Bands Deserve a Listen!

New songs of 2025 from artists that you may not recognize that deserve a listen:

One of my favorite pastimes is discovering new artists and new music. I always look forward to the new music releases on Fridays. While I always look for my favorite bands first, I do really enjoy making a new discovery. I can usually tell in the first 20 seconds if a song has enough to grab my attention. If it does, then I give the entire song a chance to join my playlist.

Here are some of my recommendations for 2025:

  • That Summer by the Ramona Flowers

  • Love Balloon by Ocean Alley

  • Above the Lake by James and the Cold Gun

  • She’s All Mine by Leila’s Rose

  • Hotel Room by Ax and the Hatchetmen

  • She Came for a Sweet Time by late night drive home

  • Ain’t for the Faint by Skegss

  • Brushstrokes of Reunion by Manic Street Preachers
