Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2025

EPs! My 25 favorites from this year, to be precise! A week after Rosy Overdrive wrapped its Top 100 Albums of 2025, the blog is sharing this smaller, (on average) more obscure, and all-around fun list. There’s a bunch of records in here that deserved way more attention this year than they ended up getting,Continue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2025”

New Playlist: October 2025

This is the Rosy Overdrive October 2025 playlist. Most of you know the drill already, but if you’re new here, here’s the deal: there’s a lot of good music below. Joel Cusumano, Alex Orange Drink, and Guitar have two songs on this playlist. Here is where you can listen to the playlist on various streamingContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2025”

New Playlist: December 2024

We’re slowly easing our way into 2025 here on Rosy Overdrive. I finished off the last couple of Pressing Concerns for 2024 last week and revealed the results of the 2024 Reader’s Poll. We’re still in 2024 today (for the most part), as this Monday brings the December 2024 playlist/wrap-up. There are a few songsContinue reading “New Playlist: December 2024”

Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2024

Hot on the heels of Rosy Overdrive’s Top 100 Albums of 2024 last week, the next year-end list on the blog gives the little guy some attention. And by “little guy”, I mean EPs, obviously. This is the EP list. Putting together 100 LPs is the most time-consuming part of the year-end list season forContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2024”

Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2024

Welcome to the third annual Rosy Overdrive Label Watch! In what I guess is a yearly tradition now, I check in on what a dozen (give or take) of my favorite modern labels have been up to the past few months, and pull a couple of highlights from each one. Rosy Overdrive is fully inContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2024”

New Playlist: October 2024

Come with us as we wrap up October! This monthly playlist has a bunch of great new music on it, featuring a bunch of bands that I’m probably going to be thinking about as I try to put together my favorite albums of 2024 in list form in the coming month. Plenty of good choicesContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2024”

Pressing Concerns: 2nd Grade, THEMM!, Dazy, Podcasts

You know how last week was a great week on the blog? Well, guess what: this one is going to be just as good, if not better. We’re getting started with a mostly EPs edition (I didn’t plan it that way, it’s just how things shook out!): new ones from THEMM!, Dazy, and Podcasts, plusContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: 2nd Grade, THEMM!, Dazy, Podcasts”

New Playlist: October 2023

Happy Halloween to all you ghouls, zombies, ghosts and whatnot. I’d say that this is a “spooky” edition of the monthly round-up or something, but really, this is just a normal one. It’s only scary if you’re afraid of good music. Or sentient mouths (we’ll get to that in a minute). Oh, and there isContinue reading “New Playlist: October 2023”

New Playlist: March 2023

Welcome to Rosy Overdrive’s March 2023 playlist! With the new year in full swing, almost everything on it comes from music released in the past month or two, so there is a ton of brand new things here for you. I’m planning on doing some more listening to older music in April, so if youContinue reading “New Playlist: March 2023”
