Hey everyone, there has been some good band recommendations in this sub over time, and I'm hoping to contribute another one. Microwave is a self described adult mid-tempo psychedelic contemporary rock band from Atlanta, GA. They've put out thee albums, with a fourth releasing next month.

​

Personally, I've just been introduced to them at the end of last year when I saw them open for The Menzingers, and they were great live. Funny enough, I think about the same amount of people were there to see Microwave as The Menzingers that night.

​

Microwave has a wide range of sound, and while they don't sound exactly like Thrice, there are similar musical relationships that I cannot put into words. They are extremely talented, and I really feel that Thrice fans would find similar interest in them.

​

So far, I'm most familiar with their two most recent albums, plus the songs released so far from their upcoming album. Their two past releases I've enjoyed are Much Love, and Death is a Warm Blanket. These albums have such a different feel from each other, but are great in their own way.

​

Much Love is "softer", a bit more contemporary rock, but has great variation and skill in the music. You'll still find some screams and harder moments throughout. Songs I would recommend to check out from their album are Neighbors and Vomit.

​

Death is a Warm Blanket hits much harder, a lot more screams and aggressive music. I even get some 90's Crow soundtrack feel from some of the songs on this album. It's crazy that these two albums can come from the same band, but at the same time you can still tell it's the same band, similar to how Thrice can change things up from album to album. Songs I would recommend to check out from this album are Pull and Leather Daddy.

​

Their newest album seems to be going in a direction similar to Much Love so far, the single they released is called Bored of Being Sad.

​

Hope some of you find them enjoyable as well!
