Favorite new songs / August 2025

[Hair I Go Again]

I'm cheating this time around, as I stumbled across some stuff in August that was released earlier this year, but that I didn't hear until recently.

Tiberius - Singing For Company (favorite song: Mosaic, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEHHkC8o9d0)
I'm not very well-versed in modern prog-metal, so the reference points for this UK-based band (Coheed, Protest The Hero) don't mean much to me, but I gave this a spin after reading a Metal Hammer blurb and was pleasantly surprised. Quality stuff.

The Lazys - Hot Under The Collar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNp-_hjBEI4)
Hard rock from Australia. You can guess exactly what it sounds like.

Fury - Interceptor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acCkBUtYK68)
Co-ed UK band that's kind of a combination of WASP and Fireball Ministry. Metallic, but melodic. New album comes out this week.

Albums that came out in August that I don't think I'll ever listen to again:
Bryan Adams - Roll With The Punches
Ellefson-Soto - Unbreakable
Crowne - Wonderland (quality music, but the vocals are a bit OTT for my tastes)
