I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?

Lorna Shore might as well be new. They sort of rebuilt around their new singer, who's and amazingly talented vocalist.

They've also been blowing up like crazy. They're sort of doing to deathcore what Turnstile is doing to hardcore, and its exciting to be a part of that

Even if their music isn't for everyone (it's ABSOLUTELY not, 99+% of people probably would hate it), what they're doing from an approachability standpoint is maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen. If you go to their YouTube right now, you can find one-take vocal performances of 3-4 of their songs. You'll also find high quality drum, guitar and bass playthroughs. Like, as a drummer and singer, being able to watch Will Ramos and Austin Archey play their songs in 4K and observe their techniques up close is AMAZING. I wish more artists did things like that.

Yeah they're not my favorite personally. I'm not super into symphonic metal and their particular brand of it just sounds extremely "noisy" to me, like I'm at a festival listening to a death core band and there's a power metal band on the next stage whose sound is bleeding over. I'm more of a Signs of the Swarm guy.

That being said I can't stop watching Ramos' one-takes, and I love the bands' breakdowns (although I'm already seeing their style become trendy and its definitely gonna get old at some point).

I feel like their breakdowns are already kind of old, like they force the same half time into half time into half time break for every song. But on the flipside, I love the symphonic blend and how they mix in a lot of technicality and melody into their guitar and drum parts. Different strokes!
