Listening through the latest from The Sounds will immediately compel listeners to go back and peruse the lush catalog that the Swedish quintet has already amassed. Not for nostalgia but more for a refresher and an education on how to evolve right in this industry.

[Read more…]A Rock And Roll Fables Feature: Damn Nation
I started this piece with an epic diatribe about how I paid my dues going to shows and that I don’t need to show up early anymore because of that fact and how, thanks to the interwebs, I can make magic happen so I show up at the right time all the time now. However, perfect timing doesn’t always happen the way you want and when a bill of three becomes a bill of twenty (I shit you not! Lookin’ at you, Worcester Palladium shows!) then you can’t always time it perfectly to show up for just the bands you want to see.

Much like choosing Megadeth over Metallica and Priest over Maiden, my general “meh” towards all things KISS will not win me any fans/new followers. HOWEVER!

[Read more…]Singles! VOWWS, “Impulse Control”
If 2020 manages to yield a new record by VOWWS then I won’t label the first 365 days of the new decade a total fucking wash.
