We all listen to music, that's just a fact. We have apps like Spotify and Pandora that open up the world of music to us in a way that hasn't been possible in the past. We don't always take advantage of the library of free music at our fingertips. Instead, we choose to listen to the music we are familiar with, but even listening to the Discover Playlist that Spotify creates just for you can introduce you to so many new artists and bands that you probably wouldn't find otherwise. Going to concerts and listening to the artists that are trying to promote their music before the show can introduce you to what could be your favorite band if you just give them the chance. I've put together a list of my favorite bands I've discovered that I probably wouldn't have found without Spotify and concerts.
1. Bad Seed Rising.
I found Bad Seed Rising at a concert about a year ago, but their music is defintely worth listening to.
2. 4 Door Theatre.
I listened to 4 Door Theatre on Spotify at a friend's suggestion. A year and a half later, and I've seen them 3 times, and they get better every show. These guys are seriously amazing.
3. CallmeKarizma.
I found Karizma at a concert. He was opening for a band that I love and it didn't take long for me to fall in love with his music, too.
4. Waterparks.
Waterparks was another opener whose music made me want to listen to more. I've been listening to them on repeat for the past week.
5. The 1975.
Okay, the 1975 is amazing. If you haven't listened to their music, you need to.... like NOW.
6. Night Riots.
Night Riots showed up on my Discover Playlist about a year ago and they've since released a really amazing album called "Love Gloom" that pretty much everyone should listen to.
7. Young Rising Sons.
Young Rising Sons is an amazing group. They haven't put out their first full length album yet (I'm still waiting though).
8. Set It Off.
I actually found Set It Off at Warped Tour this past Summer, and I have to say that choosing to watch their set was the best decision I've made in a while.
9. State Champs.
State Champs was touring with another band that I really love in 2015, and I have to say that I really wish I had found them sooner.
10. Megan and Liz.
I don't usually listen to country music, but Megan and Liz are one of the exceptions. I found them on YouTube and thought some of their covers were better than the original versions.
11. 3PM.
I found 3PM while standing in line for a concert. They're really talented and they aren't quite signed yet, but I'm sure they will be in the near future.
