Ha what band will you choose?

I’ve a fair idea which ones you will choose.

Come back later to see who breaks the rules and come play more daily metal games with me! Share this to someone who loves metal too. Let’s see what band they name.

New discovery for me is @saranhuone and I fully recommend these riff geniuses to you!

Hi!!! Come hang out with me. If you’re crazy about music and must play it even when doing the dishes then this is the place for you!

A band I’m super excited about and have interviewed and is rising super fast is @lostsocietyfi check them out now, their newer stuff takes me to the 00s! You will love them

Also @themechanistband fully recommend this band for originality

Final one to recommend this time round is @therequiemband for my more goth and emo followers

I have an eclectic mix of musical tastes. Good luck trying to predict what I will like! I can’t even do that 😜

If you love a rising band tag them below for me to check out

In the meantime come hang out with me. I’m most active on insta so if you do try to message me try to make it there in the DMs

Come play my music games and get to know others in the comments. Try not to fight but if you are gonna, make sure you have the thick skin to survive!! The comments can get pretty mosh pity!! 😜

The main goal is to find like minded humans that appreciate real music! As well as learn to respect each other’s tastes in music. Gatekeeping and elitism are super pet peeves of mine having faced it for decades mainly because I have boobs and love heavy music!!

I’m excited to get to know you!

Do you agree that the 80s was packed with highly motivational classics in music??

Drop your fav decade for music that makes you feel you can achieve anything

Part two coming in a few days with the results of your vote

Are music videos valid nowadays? What do you think?

It’s getting closer to the new single from @reflexionmusicofficial being released which is super exciting and highly anticipated

Also a two part interview with Juha and Mikko ( had to do two parts as they dropped so much value and nuggets for you) I couldn’t cut it!

I love when musicians just have a laugh too and a bit of craic with me. You will be laughing along with us when you watch it.

New single drops 16/10/26 Death of Dolor!

Part 1 of our interview drops 18/10/26

There is also a cut radio version with full songs. If you’re new to the band it’s worth a listen to get the songs too. It will air 18/10/26 7pm GMT @mmh_radio

00s gothic rock is back due to millions of streams from you for this bands music!! Great taste 😜🫶 by @bubbarocksmedia

Ekkkk it’s so exciting for music right now!

So many great new bands out literally now!!

This is a wave like the early 00s. A blend of genres all coming at us with top quality tunes.

If you were there in the 00s or are a fan of the 00s bands then this is the era for you

When you look back in 20-30 years this will be your 00s!!

Get on the bands now. You don’t even need to go looking for them. I use my skills and experience as an 00s journalist who was championing the bands back then when others were calling them baby metal. Yes that was a term for Nu metal back then (pre baby metal the band) to call those of who loved Nu metal babies basically! Like took them a while to think of that one 😜 I got serious roasting but now look! Those same bands are now legacies!!

So the pattern shall repeat and the bands that are being roasted for being too different or too new or a new genre will one day be legacy bands

I’ll shall find the best to the best for you so you don’t have to worry!

Playlist of bands I’ve come across so far is in the clicky place

Drop your fav bands below and let’s get sharing old school style

New bands featured
Lost Society
The Vantages

🫶🖤🎵🤘

Anyhoo drop yours below and I’ll tally them up later for a part 2

I’m an 00s journalist using my skills and platforms to find the best new alt music out right now for you to love! Make sure you follow so you don’t miss out on bands before they blow up or 00s legends coming back! by @bubbarocksmedia

You summoned them! They heard you!

Millions of streams could not be ignored. You made their song Dead Without You iconic! The guys are still blown away by this. Super humble dudes. It’s fascinating to me how bands often have no idea which song will hit with fans the most. They talk more about this with me and so much more. Part one of the interview out 18/10/26
New single Death of Dolor out 16/10/26

@reflexionmusicofficial are back

They are even bringing new music for you. Plus an exclusive two part interview packed with stories from the guys for you

Don’t miss out

Gothic rock is finally back with these legends showing how it’s done

Did I miss anything important?

Drop your zombie slaying song below too. I for watched that far in! It’s a perfect example of my brain getting distracted very easily! Get used to that if you hit that follow cos I’m quite unpredictable that way 😜 I have weird obsessions you will get to learn! Zombies is one.

Lots more fun music games to come and don’t forget to check the playlist I’ve put together of new bands I’ve found for you. It will save you searching through the world to find some new music. I’ve done it for you

🌍 Are they actually conspiracy theorists, or is there a deeper meaning? 👀 I sat down with Linde and Niclas from Flat Earth to get the real story behind their name—and trust me, their music is anything but flat.Track: “1985” is OUT NOW. Run, don’t walk, to stream it! 🏃💨
Absolute sweet find for you guys. You’re welcome
