Just went to a Synthwave(and other electronic shit) focused mini-festival. A lot of cool guys played there.
Magic Sword is absolutely great. If you haven't heard of them check out Volume 1 and Legend EP. Specifically I'd recommend "In the Face of Evil" and "Legend of the Keeper" off of each album respectively.
Betamaxx was a lot of fun, but I have yet to buy any of their stuff.
The Rain Within wasn't super fantastic live, but I still like that guy's stuff a decent amount. Both EPs are solid.
I love Dance with the Dead and own all their shit, but their live performance made me assmad for various reasons.
Night Club was fucking great. I'm definitely going to buy their shit.
Street Fever was probably my favorite act, though I wouldn't exactly call him a Synthwave artist.
Arcade High was super great. Love their shit. Check them out definitely.

I honestly can't say who the best Synthwave artist is, but Magic Sword is one of my top 3.

Synthwave (to me at least, people I've talked to lately seem to have wildly different ideas on what it actually is) is really electronic music with a strong 80's influenced sound. Whether that sound is influenced by lighthearted 80's synthpop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mqe10W0VVY) or maybe darker action/horror movie synths (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLzYAteddO0) really doesn't matter too much. As long as it has that distinct 80s sound incorporated in it.
A decent amount of synthwave artists have removed themselves from the stronger 80s influence and kind of just go off the sounds to make their own stuff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGHeclHZOXM) but that influence is still recognizable.
I've checked out Steve Moore and yeah I'd definitely classify 99% of what I've listened to as synthwave. Guess I'll have to keep him and the movies he's composed for in mind from now on.

Yesterday, I was listening to pic related for the first time. It's pretty good, like Perturbator, but more cinematic.

synthwave is some of the worst shit ever

>>73318387
Non Paradisi is great, but man GosT fans can apparently get autistically hyped up to the point where its charming

>>73311463
wasn't it coopted by alt righters?

>>73318557
they tried to make fashwave which was some low effort fad. they've coopted it as much as the commies have with laborwave.

>>73318387
less good than Perturbator, too modern-sounding, very uneven

>>73316924
more like a couple days ago it leaked

Really? I fucking love Lonely City. Sleeper hit of the album imo. Nighthawks is the weakest track for me. Days of Thunder is probably their best release, though.

>>73311463
>Synthwave
yeesh. terrible visual aesthetic, terrible kitsch sound, basically sounds like a parody of 80's music. how can anyone like this?

Hate that vocal part of Lonely City with a passion. I don't mind simple repeating vocals, but it feels like the high-pitched screeching vocals really doesn't mix well with me at all. I feel the same way kind of about Endless Summer, but I don't mind it too much because it doesn't have the whole bad AH AH AH EH OH bad vocal breakdown that Lonely City does. Sounds like its straight from a bad EDM track and doesn't fit in with rest of the album. I probably wouldn't mind Nighthawks if they didn't fuck with the vocalist's voice, but it definitely is the second weakest track on that album for me.
Days of Thunder is absolutely great yeah. Shit was on repeat for awhile for me, had Kick Drums and Red Wine as my alarm music too.

I've always been a fan of Lazerhawk. His new album is a little lacking, though.

>>73311703
This it's all cringy alt right neckbeard shit now. As a genre it really was only decent pre-drive

Pertub's last album is a masterpiece, other than that I'm pretty much out of the loop.

Synthwave is still pretty sweet. As cliche and cheesy as it sounds I still listen to it when I'm driving around the empty highways late at night.

Found this band some time ago but I couldn't find anything quite like it in years, anyone knows any artists with a similar style?

What do you mean by that?

I'm listening to Non Paradisi again, it's really great. Just as good as Perturbator (although it's not as abrasive).

>Leaked
Damn really? Dare I even ask for a link?

>>73323499
>just as good as perturbator
obviously wrong

>>73323499
Nigger what? GosT's gimmick is precisely that he puts too much distortion on his basses to the point where it ends up sounding almost like dubstep (which is incidentally part of what makes him not as good as perturbator)

>>73312367
>ywn go to a synthwave festival in your short sleeved white suit, Hawaiian print undershirt and yellow tinted sunglasses and snort lines of coke while on the hunt for a murderous druglord

A friend showed me Scandroid and it was pretty neat. Liked the cover for Tears for Fears' Shout.

Anyone else like this EP (Walsh - Smoke Weed About It)? It might not be properly classified as synthwave, but it has a similar aesthetic. Antwon rapped over the last track.

I saw him live and legit more than a few people who were acting completely normal before started head banging and dancing so hard I thought they were going to fucking dislocate something. It was so odd that I loved it. Especially during Reign in Hell off Behemoth holy FUCK.

I like Dana Jean Phoenix

Night Club is fun
http://nightclubband.com/album/requiem-for-romance
You might know about Dead Astronauts, I like a lot of their vocal work
https://deadastronauts.bandcamp.com
The Midnight tends to have good vocals usually, but they might lean on the too drowsy side for you
https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/album/endless-summer
Gunship (in the OP) isn't bad at all, but I can't give you a solid recommendation because I simply haven't listened to their stuff enough.
FM-84's Atlas has some great fucking vocal work imo
https://fm84.bandcamp.com/album/atlas

is there anything similar to drive radio that i can use on mobile and densest play the SAME fucking add every half song?
