11 Unique Artists That You Should Add To Your Playlist

Personal Photo

I have been known to have a very odd taste in music. There isn't one genre I am stuck to, and there isn't one that I absolutely can't listen to.

Bands I listen to you may never have heard. Most you won't hear on the radio even though they deserve it.

With a variety of music I hope you find one of these artists admirable.

1. American Pinup

American Pinup is for sure one of the most underrated bands I know. Not only their recordings, but their live performances are wonderful. Their Alternative music with Lauren's unique voice is exactly what you need to hear today. I could write a whole article just on this band and it's band members. Maybe that will be a different article.

2. Icon For Hire

Icon For Hire has been through hell and back, but made it through with a roar. Ariel and Shawn have some of the biggest hearts I have seen. The connection with fans is more about popularity of their music. Ariel's YouTube channel "the REL Show" gives advice on self-care and self-help. Their lyrics connect to the fans unlike any others I know.

3. New Years Day

If Ash's hair doesn't intrigue, I'm not sure what will. New Years Day along with most bands I listen to have kind souls and big hearts. This is the opposite of what people think based on the style of music (that's dumb by the way...). However, if you look into behind the scenes work, you'll find a lot these bands do for raising awareness and donations.

4. Caro Emerald

Now if this isn't a drastic change from the last band... I don't know what is. My friend introduced me to Caro Emerald on a roadtrip. Ever since, I have played her on repeat. From Jazz to Pop I have yet to find a song I dislike of Caro's.

5. Zz Ward

Zz Ward is by far one of my favorite artists right now. You can find her voice on "Pretty Little Liars," a new Nascar commercial, obviously Youtube, along with many other platforms. Recently, I saw Zz live. She was even better live than in recordings.

6. Stitched Up Heart

Stitched Up Heart has helped me through so much. The connection they have with fans and how much they care about fans is amazing. This band definitely makes you feel that you belong somewhere.

7. Ally Hills

I started following Ally Hills on Youtube a few years ago. Originally, I was only following her comedic videos. Now, I am stuck on her music. Some of my favorite videos of Ally's are songs she writes through Q&A's and other video topics. Check out her channel it's worth it!

8. Wild Child

You know when you are on Youtube, and you have the "suggestions for you" section? Well, that's how I find a lot of my music. "Wild Child" was one of my suggestions and I couldn't be happier. Their Indie sound is calming and is perfect while I write or just hang around the house.

9. The Avett Brothers

You'll notice the change in music type from the others here. I usually don't listen to Folk Rock, but for some reason these guys have me hooked. The Avett Brothers are amazing live as well.

10. Young Lungs

I found "Young Lungs" as an opening act for a concert in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa. "Young Lungs" is an excellent band live, and quite enjoyable to stream as well. Their cover of "Harder To Breathe" is one of my favorites live. If you are ever in Pittsburgh, I highly suggest trying to see them perform.

11. Renee Phoenix

Renee Phoenix is rising in Alternative Rock. With her Joan Jett like vocals, Renee is more than deserving of her audience. You can also find Renee's vocals in her previous band "Fit For Rivals."

Each of these artists are amazing in their own ways. Even if you don't particularly love one of them share them with someone that might. These artists are more than deserving of that.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
