Here's a few I've enjoyed in recent memory:
- Koyo - Would You Miss It?
- Militarie Gun - Life Under The Gun
- Tigers Jaw - I Won't Care How You Remember Me
- Yard Act - Where's My Utopia?
- Vacation Manor - Vacation Manor
- Hotline TNT - Cartwheel
The Koyo album is great if you like punk/hardcore/emo, same with the Militarie Gun one. Tigers Jaw has been one of my favorites for a while, and this album is one of their best imo; great band if you like indie rock/emo. Yard Act's a British rock band with post-punk influences, you might like them if you enjoy that signature dry British humor in combination with some social commentary. Vacation Manor is a more laid-back indie rock band with more classic Americana/Springsteen influences, I can't recommend them enough for people who have a sweet spot for classic rock. Lastly, Hotline TNT's album is worth a listen for people who enjoy shoegaze and indie rock, they have a really great DIY sound with just enough polish to tie the album together and keep it accessible. The 2020's have been a damn good year for music, at least as far as the bands I've been keeping up with.
Edit: added Tigers Jaw, I couldn't leave them out
Militarie Gun & Koyo are killing it. I would like to add Fleshwater's We're Not Here to Be Loved.
Ooh that was a solid one too, good catch. Can't wait to see what else they have in store
What the Dead Men Say - Trivium
Lamb of God - Lamb of God
Omens - Lamb of God
Abyss - Unleash the Archers
Violence Unimagined - Cannibal Corpse
Fortitude - Gojira
Zeit - Rammstein
Modern Primitive - Sceptic Flesh
the album Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa is a masterpiece in pop. I don’t think she’s release anything quite up to that standard since (not that she’s released much).
These songs are for anyone sick of earth - Aliah Sheffield
Sample - Earth Is Ghetto
As Above, So Below - Sampa The Great
Sample - Let Me Be Great

- Ensiferum - Thalassic
- In Extremo - Kompass zur Sonne
Both from 2020 exactly, and amazing.
My fav album of the 2020's would probably be Saviors by Green day. I however dont look at the release date of the album Im currently listening too often so It gets pretty hard to make a good list.
It's singles, but:
-【Ado】 唱 (show) -【Ado】 New Genesis - 新時代
Listen to Ado’s Utattemita Album, it is all covers but they are all amazing
I know them all, she's my favorite musical artist. 可愛くてごめん (kawaikute gomen) is my favorite of those, I'd say.
I think 愛して愛して愛して (Aishite Aishite Aishite) was really good, her cover of unravel is also solid. I liked it better than the original.
A fellow connoisseur! I and a friend we're looking to get tickets for the world tour, sadly, it seemed they were sold instantly.
If I could figure out how to follow people on Lemmy with jerboa, you'd be the first.
Saxon - Carpe Diem (2022) is a good one.

I'll second Black Midi - Hellfire obviously

And now I'm faced with the fact that most of my favorite recent albums are at least 5 years old
Haken's Fauna was my top album of 2023. An absolute gauntlet of amazing prog metal.

Amigo the Devil- yours until the war is over
Thanks for letting know about this. Last album I knew he dropped was Born Against. I'll definitely look into this. I saw him open for Drokkick Murphy's. It was a great show.
I pretty regularly pick up new music.
Fun machine
https://batboymusic.bandcamp.com/album/fun-machine
I guess this is pop punk rock? It has a lot of lines in it I think about a lot. "Ask me again how it's going even though you know it isn't going anywhere". "I don't want you to romanticize falling the fuck apart".
The dark path to the light
https://wolvennest.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-path-to-the-light
This is some good witchy shit. The last track is so menacing I love it.
I tried to get into the full album, but “Decoder Ring” is the only track off Fun Machine that really does it for me. That said, I listen to it just about daily
I’ve been absolutely loving Knower Forever by Knower from last year. Who else is doing stuff like this?

Kimono Drag Queens are such a good band. Criminally underrated rated.
Sometimes I Might Be Introvert - Little Simz
Great choice. Little Simz needs more love.
