DEBUT SINGLE ' SLOW DEATH' OUT NOW
W: Karl Watson
Stripped of the noise, lights, and production labels, only the music that truly matters survives. The Lifeboat Playlist is an unfiltered deep dive into the sonic DNA of the artists shaping modern culture—forcing them to choose the ten definitive tracks they’d carry into complete isolation.
It’s a sonic survival kit built on gut-level resonance: anthems, heartbreaks, and high-octane riffs that define a lifetime. These ten tracks aren’t just influences; they are blueprints. They capture the raw ambition, atmosphere, and conviction that made us want to pick up an instrument in the first place.
To top it off, we asked CHNNLS for their two ultimate "guilty pleasures"—the low-key bangers they dance to in private that would completely destroy their street cred.
Dido - White Flag
Gabriel Summers used it in a video part. Banger throwback that still hits.
Oasis -Whatever
Whenever I’m feeling down, I can pop this on and immediately feel the Sunday Scaries go away.
The Radio Dept. - I Wanted You To Feel The Same
If I ever want to simulate a break up, go ahead and throw this bad boy up.
Thru The Eyes of Ruby- The Smashing Pumpkins
That intro going into the main riff got to be one of the coolest things someone has ever laid down on tape.
David Bowie - Five Years
The opener to one of the greatest albums.
The Boys Next Door - Shivers
First saw Current Joys cover this song. It’s a glimpse of early Nick Cave.
Pixies - Dead
A biblical song literally and figuratively.
Songs: Ohia - Farewell Transmission
A Jason Molina greatest hit belongs on every top 10 list.
Queens of the Stone Age - In The Fade
A song that can fit any mood.
Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain
One of the best drum beats ever recorded.
CHNNLS secretly bump when nobody is watching. These aren't the high-brow influences or critical darlings—they are the unfiltered, guilty-pleasure bangers that defy snobbery through pure, unadulterated energy. Featuring Tommy Richman’s viral sensation MILLION DOLLAR BABY (especially that pitch-bent VHS version) alongside Bhad Bhabie’s iconic, post-Dr. Phil trap anthem Hi Bich, this pair serves as a playful reminder that undeniable hooks and sheer entertainment value always win over cool points.
Tommy Richman - Million Dollar Baby
Did you listen to the VHS version??? Sounds like the Tik Tok.
Bhad Bhabie - Hi Bich
One of the greatest Dr. Phil episodes of all time.
