Playlist

Suggestions

 

Music is an indispensable part of your experience at Ill Will Brewing. We do not host live musicians, instead opting for a carefully curated playlist that leans heavily into metal and rap, but welcomes an eclectic variety of styles. You should expect jarring transitions from Lamb of God to Johnny Cash to Kendrick Lamar to the cast of Annie. The methodology/commonality is that every selection adheres to specific criteria. 

​

We welcome your suggestions as additions to our Playlist, thus should be aware of the criteria. 

​

First and foremost, a track should be ill-willed in nature. 

Example: Fucking Hostile - Pantera

​

The less overtly ill-willed, the more a track should contain one or more of the following in the lyrics or title:

• an ill-willed synonym

• ohio

• crow(s)

• the color black

• being ill or illin'

​

Equally important is what does not make our playlist. We avoid songs that include raunchy sexual content, disparages any of our fellow man, or utilizes auto-tune (we also have an aversion to la-la-las, na-na-nahs, doot-doot-doos, and the like). Certain words or phrases are not tolerated making Eminem and DMX appear less than we would otherwise like. 

​

If you suggest a song that makes our playlist, you will be aware 2 points on your License to Ill (no limit).
