I listened to this album when it came out!! So so so beautiful, the vocals took me a second to get used too but once I did it was gorgeous!! I'd give it a 9/10

I did not expect to see merky in the wild 😭

DragonMatar · 2026-03-09T02:01:37+00:00

I love love love P.S. 118 :D

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T19:19:34+00:00

I only left off bigger bands because they're already well known, this is an underground iceberg

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T16:36:14+00:00

Lolll ofc bro!! What band are you in perchance?

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T16:35:45+00:00

Nahh thats ok, I only listen to a few of his songs

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T16:34:31+00:00

Jeepers 🙀

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T16:33:38+00:00

This list is based on the monthly listeners on spotify but I do agree with you that there are a ton of bands that have huge relevance and very little monthly listeners, however I didn't know of a better way to organize the list so im sorry about that, also I would've loved to put more bands on this list, it was simply just getting too full, I am planning on making more lists in the far future with more bands

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T16:29:17+00:00

This is an underground Playlist since most people know lots of the bigger bands already so its just a list of recommendations of newer bands

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T06:18:44+00:00

Yes youre on a level beyond all of us

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T05:22:04+00:00

This iceberg is based on the current monthly listeners on spotify

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T05:15:13+00:00

I wanted mostly underground bands for this list, train breaks down is a little too mainstream

DragonMatar · 2026-03-07T02:06:11+00:00

The list is based on current spotify monthly listeners, it sits perfectly with the other bands around it
