Just like the title says, this article is being made now and constantly going to be maintained throughout the year, as more bands release new material in the second half of the year. I will add more titles as I dig and purge through tons of music I do not care for, to find what I DO LIKE, and bring to you. I spend a long and extensive amount of my personal time digging and looking for likeminded people that make likeminded music. To be frank, I really enjoy all types of music, not just what I feature here, but I mainly enjoy Country and Country sub genres the most.
I have focused on festivals and news more than anything else for the last ten years, but I have been veering off that and focusing on my TOP 50 and favorites list for what has already transpired in 2025. I try to run my operation on a fiscal year type deal, and this is my “half over” point. Now, as I approach my year’s end, I usually post many of these articles now and I work on them as the year ends. I understand that a lot of other media-based websites work on things differently, but that is how I like to run things because instead of a big paper list, I can work while you can enjoy it now.
Sales. Sales. That is the main reason that I do it the way I do it is to hopefully generate sales for the existing albums on the list here. This is a business just as much as any other business out there now. When you pay to support your friend’s band, you are enabling it to go on! Bands and artists need funds to continue to roll, and I am hoping that you find a few YOU LIKE and buy them (also, at the time of this writing, there may be a few titles not out yet, sorry).
Now, these are all types of genres mixed up into one list, and it is too long to include links, so you may have to spend a little time dissecting all of this information here. Please feel free to spread it around and share it like I am doing here. So, let’s delve into some of what I have already found in 2025, that I wanted to share with you. And THANK YOU for reading what I do.
