florgoth7If you're in the mood for some excellent Soul and R&B, @zo3hree5ive.com has got you covered! zo3hree5ive.bandcamp.com/album/expans...
florgoth5Also no slouch in the unconventional department is the latest album by @neonpherepapha.bsky.social. It's fun, it's got variety and it feels honest yet artistic. Good stuff! aubreyvangelded.bandcamp.com/album/change...
florgoth5If Industrial is more your speed, @eveyweveydevey.bsky.social has something really nice for you! eveyweveydevey.bandcamp.com/album/initia...
florgoth5And in contrast to that, the new album by @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social is very conventional, but in the best way possible. An absolutely delightful work! shapeslikepeople.bandcamp.com/album/under-...
florgoth4Here's @david-soulscorch.bsky.social's latest. It's funky, it's a bit weird, but most importantly, it's a lot of fun! ruraldistrictlofirecordingproject.bandcamp.com/album/jolly-...
florgoth4Starting us off, we have the new album by @stuntlover.bsky.social! It's unconventional and a bit uncomfortable, but it's more than worth your time! stuntlover.bandcamp.com/album/a-huge...
florgoth3If it's something a bit more aggressive you're looking for, @allieinchains.bsky.social and @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social have something for you! (Remember their names, they will come up again later! 😁) therecreant.bandcamp.com/album/the-co...
florgoth3And here's something that should have something for everyone: the debut album by @allhailhereafter.bsky.social! theallhailhereafter.bandcamp.com/album/friend...
florgoth2A bit of electronic NuMetal-ish music perhaps? Check out @thelunasequence.bsky.social! thelunasequence.bandcamp.com/album/rifts-...
florgoth2And for something really nice, pretty and peaceful, you can bet on @sylfvr.art. sylfvr.bandcamp.com/album/tranqu...
florgoth2For your slightly heavy Alternative/PunkRock needs, you're not going wrong with @sweetpill.bsky.social. sw33tpill.bandcamp.com/album/still-...
