If you loved how the Band with Rocks In turns Ankh-Morpork into a riff on the music industry—Dibbler’s shameless ‘managerial’ schemes, concerts that bend reality, and Imp y Celyn’s meteoric rise—then you’ll revel in the way Kings of the Wyld reimagines mercenary companies as aging rock bands. Clay Cooper and his old crew reunite for one last ‘tour,’ complete with rival groups, promoters, and legends inflated by hype. It’s the same joyous parody of celebrity culture, just with monsters, sieges, and power chords played on axes.

You enjoyed Death’s wry asides, the Unseen University’s academic nonsense, and Dibbler’s catastrophically optimistic pitches in Soul Music. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy delivers that same joke-a-second wit: Vogon bureaucracy weaponized into poetry, Marvin’s gleeful gloom, and a galaxy where mishaps spiral out from one very unlucky human in a bathrobe. It has the same breezy cleverness and comic timing that made Susan’s straight-faced confrontations with cosmic nonsense so fun.

If Susan Sto Helit stepping into her grandfather’s scythe—balancing schoolwork with literally stopping souls from slipping through—was your jam, Sabriel hits that note perfectly. Sabriel inherits the Abhorsen’s duty, crosses the Wall into a perilous Old Kingdom, and must master necromantic bells to walk in Death and bring order to the dead. It echoes Susan’s arc: reluctant responsibility, sharp competence, and discovering who you are when destiny knocks.

In Soul Music, the Music With Rocks In rewrites reality—posters appearing from nowhere, crowds swept into trance, and even trolls like Lias ‘Cliff’ finding new rhythms—while everyone mostly rolls with it. Welcome to Night Vale embraces that same vibe: angels that don’t exist (officially), a Glow Cloud that runs the PTA, and townsfolk who nod at the impossible and carry on. It’s the cozy-surreal blend you liked, only tuned to community radio.

If you were charmed by the way Soul Music juggles its band (Imp/Buddy, Glod, Cliff), Susan and Death, and the Unseen University crowd—each thread adding laughs and heart—you’ll click with the Wayfarer’s crew. Rosemary, Sissix, Dr Chef, and the rest trade warm banter across small adventures that add up to something big. Like the Band with Rocks In finding a family on the road, this is all about mismatched people becoming a harmonious whole.
