It's the first of yet another month in 2022, and that means it's time for The Soundcheck's mixtape to get a refresh! Handpicked twice a month by The Soundcheck boss Tiana Speter, The Soundcheck Mixtape on Spotify features 15 new, not-so-new and old faves for you to sink your ears into.
For August's first mixtape, Tiana's musical hero Mike Patton's supergroup Dead Cross, also featuring Dave Lombardo, Justin Pearson and Michael Crain, take out the cover spot via their brand new tune Reign of Error. Also jumping on board include new tracks from Megadeth, Architects, Slipknot, Arch Enemy and Aussies Intrøspect for your heavier fare, as well as some proggy bliss from Polyphia, punky vibes from Ways Away, lush post punk from Johnny Hunter and a glistening newbie from singersongwriter LT.
Full playlist is below, go grab a listen while you're driving, working and/or avoiding awkward small talk!
