Rosy Overdrive’s Top 40 Albums of 2025 So Far (Part 1 of 2)
Hello there, and welcome to the midway mark of 2025, I suppose (basically, I noticed other websites putting up their mid-year favorites and thought “well, guess I better start getting mine together now!”). Below, you’ll find forty records that RO loved more than anything else so far this year. Of course, there’s a bunch ofContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 40 Albums of 2025 So Far (Part 1 of 2)”
New Playlist: April 2025
To be perfectly honest with you, readers, right now, this moment, is the busiest that I (the person behind this blog) have been in a very long time (in terms of things outside of the world of Rosy Overdrive, I mean). So far I’ve been able to keep the blog posts coming at a normalContinue reading “New Playlist: April 2025”

Pressing Concerns: Bellows, Sooner, Mo Dotti, Really Great
Today’s Pressing Concerns looks at new albums from Bellows, Sooner, and Really Great, and a new EP from Mo Dotti. Most of this was written awhile ago and even this intro is several days old at this point, so sorry if anything in here has somehow already become dated. If you’re looking for more newContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Bellows, Sooner, Mo Dotti, Really Great”
Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2021
2021 was a great EP year, by my estimation. Maybe it’s because the pandemic made EPs more practical vis-à-vis full-lengths to release than normal, maybe because I’m more in touch with smaller (and thus more likely to release EPs) bands than normal this year, but I liked a lot of EPs this year. I choseContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2021”
New Playlist: May 2021
Another month in the books, another round-up of the best songs I heard over its contents. Mostly containing songs from the last couple of months, but there are a few older selections whose identities you’ll have to continue reading to find out. Rosali and The Bevis Frond are the only ones to land multiple songsContinue reading “New Playlist: May 2021”
