I don't know why, but I just gravitate towards English musicians.  Maybe it's the constant rain or something in the water, but a lot of my favorite bands are English and a lot of the best new music I've been discovering in the past couple years has tended to be English.  Case in point: the poorly named Younghusband.  If you can get past the name, the music really is quite good.

A four piece from London, YH have released two full lengths - first, 2013's Dromes.  Dromes is a spacey, shoegaze-laden affair, whereas 2015's (and the subject of this post) Dissolver sees the band take a more straightforward approach.  At first, I can't say I really liked it as much as Dromes, which has all the sonic qualities in music I tend to like on the surface.  But it is only when you break through the surface of Dissolver that you are rewarded.  Give it a few listens and see what you think.

I remember the first time I heard about this band, I was browsing some super right wing subreddits cause I wanted to see how dumb people were. Well I found a thread asking what some of the worst bands of all time were, and I just couldn't help myself but read it. One of the top comments labeled this band as one of the worst bands because they are ruining genre for being too progressive and that they stand for everything punk isn't.

Well call it what you want, but I absolutely loved this album. It's fun, it's raw, and it's politically charged. They sort of remind me of a modern day X-Ray Spex or Crisis (two other classic punk bands you all should check out if you get the chance).
I mainly wanted to pick this album because it's a newer album from last year and I really didn't see too much attention surrounding it so I just wanted to make sure you all get a chance to listen to it if you haven't yet. They described themselves as a "bi lingual political dance sax punk party from Providence" and I can't really think of a better way to describe them. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I did.
