[kathrynmanning]

YAY! Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman in IDKHBTFM! :D (I Don't Know How But They Found Me)

[IceRonny]

THOUSAND BELOW are awesome, love at first sound. Can't wait to hear more from (and about) them.

[avachugg.]

I see Dallon, I click. It's simple

[davster]

I'm so glad Vesperteen is on here! If you haven't listened to him yet you should give him a listen he's amazing!

[marabirau]

WATERPARKS IK THEY ARE PRETTY FAMOUS BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY

[orphicophelia]

Me: *Sees Dallon Weeks* *slaps phone screen*

[bluevelvetsky]

Vesperteen 😍😍😍😍 I'm so excited for him to gain more attention

[MrKoaala]

Oh hell yeah! Sylar! Fucking love them!

[miamoo]

Think I have found a new favorite band XD

[Mercedescrombie]

Shorelines au should be in this because THEY ARE EVERYTHING

[rileyc.]

THOUSAND BELOW!!! My online friend Emma told me about them a month ago!! They're super incredible!!

Sylar, is absolutely insane! Their songs Prescription medication, Soul Addiction, Dark Daze, and Assume, are my favorites!! They're super addicting!

[dallonpilled]

dallon in the thumbnail got me to click

[bradleywilliams]

Thousand below and sylar. But my hype is coming from the untitled new hands like houses record. Its due for a late 2018 release. But a single should drop in april if my predictions are correct

[damianmanigat]

Guess we're just not gonna talk about Cane Hill then

[deanalvarado]

Aye Avatar made it! They're a really good band hands down👌🏼

[mxsinisterr]

I’m kind of disappointed that The Wrecks Waterparks and Palaye Royale didn’t make this list.

[rileyc.]

Also another great band Suggestion: Go listen to the band DESOLIST. They're from North California. They're a hardcore metalcore band, and Currently have 1 ep out, and are finishing their first full length album, which releases in a few months.

Justin Haskin is the lead singer, Michael Caldwell is the Guitarist, Austin Brooks is the Bassist, and Mike Hoskin is the drummer!! They're really addicting, and just absolutely insanely amazing!! Go check them out!
