Sadurn - Radiator

Genre: Indie Folk

The first time I’d heard of Sadurn was when they opened for Alex G in Philadelphia a few years back. The show was amazing - it was one of the few times where I hear songs live and am instantly hooked. They deliver a stripped back, folk sound with catchy melodies and unique vocals.

King Diamond - Abigail

Genre: Metal

Those interested in concept albums, look no further than this 1987 metal classic. This album is packed with catchy melodic guitar hooks, an amazing and unique vocal performance, plus a narrative horror story.
