In the time it took us to attach the album artwork to this post, the newest from Weymouth’s Wasp Mother was already almost over. So yeah, Digital Pollution‘s six tracks are extremely short overall but that’s par for the course when dealing with such extreme sounds in the way that the South Shore quartet do. And that’s not to say what’s within doesn’t leave a lasting impression because they certainly do that!
[Read more…]Edict Deliver A Delightful Dichotomy With Hybrid Hardcore Of In Defense Of Labor
Some bands on paper just aren’t our cuppa, y’know? Like, they do what they do and do it really well and sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t. Then there are cases when you catch a band out in the wild on stage and are just compelled to devour absolutely everything they’ve ever produced. Like Providence’s Edict.
[Read more…]Disconnected Souls Beautifully Bend Genres With Cinematic Metal Epic Fragments Of Consciousness
Dense and destructive yet also delicate and delightful, Disconnected Souls’ very own Demanufacture is almost upon us but make no mistake, when we compare Fragments Of Consciousness to the legendary FF record, we mean in terms of its’ groundbreaking/genre-bending/all encompassing work of Heavy Art. Which is definitely what the newest from the UK quintet is.
[Read more…]Straight Pepper Diet Covers An Eclectic Range Of Genres Across Spectacular Vol. 1
What a wild, eclectic mix of genres Vol. 1 by Straight Pepper Diet is! With Vol. 1, the mysterious veteran of the New England music scene known only as “Possum” brings to the big kids table an album that’s nothing short of spectacular with a hybrid sound that offers big grooves, big beats, catchy choruses, and a plethora of punchy unpredictability to keep even the most casual of music fans enthralled.
[Read more…]23 For ’23… But Locally! Or “23 MA-Based Bands (And Then Some) You Should Already Be Listening To”
We initially decided to do this in order to alleviate some of the stress of that other ’23 list we have going on but then we cut out the local stuff and decided to go through our archives for the year and what stood out of what we reviewed/featured that came out of Massachusetts…. and came up with an even more massive list. In other words, oops?
[Read more…]SWTEVL Brings Forth The Murphy (R)Evolution On Very Truly Yours
The (r)evolution is here! If you’ve followed the career of Tairrie B. Murphy at all then you know it’s been an interesting one to say the least. It’s a career that got even more interesting when multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy entered the fray some twenty plus years ago now for a pairing that has, again and again, proven to be fortuitous and fascinating to behold. And now that fruitful pairing is back as SWTEVL with twenty introductory tracks of new school Rawk (Yes, kids, RAWK) on a vibrant double album that’s definitely something you haven’t heard from either Murphy yet.
[Read more…]AAWKS Bring Their Elevated Brand Of Space Rawk To Luna
Boasted by a new track, two covers, and a live song, the newest offering from Canada’s AAWKS is four tracks of unfiltered and unrestrained Space Rawk that’s like the debut from Black Sabbath mixing it up with Clutch’s self-titled sophomore renaissance. It’s spacious and broad while also big on the riffs AND on the catchiness for an entrancing smattering of sounds.
[Read more…]Girl with a Hawk Persist With A Purpose On The Uplifting Rawk Of keep ‘er lit
Persistence is probably the best word to describe the sound that the latest release from Girl with a Hawk, keep ‘er lit, exemplifies as a whole. Like a musical map of 2023 filled with tales that detail easily some of Girl with a Hawk’s highest of high’s and lowest of lows since their inception, keep ‘er lit keeps it really real with five tracks of riotous dynamic Rawk that’ll sometimes make you feel good and sometimes make you feel bad but definitely make you feel something.
[Read more…]The Lion’s Daughter Serve Up A High Holy Helluva Haunting Heavy Good Time With Bath House
While working on a recent review by an artist that starts with “L” we kept finding that, following the conclusion of that album, we were getting reintroduced to the majesty of The Lion’s Daughter and their 2021 classic Skin Show. Being the curious type, we had an “Oh! We haven’t heard from them in a bit…” moment and, upon a quick interwebs search, found they had not one, but TWO recent releases that we missed. Obviously we’re not the best fans of The Lion’s Daughter. But we’re making up for it now!
[Read more…]Siiickbrain Invites You To An Expansive Art Pop Journey With My Masochistic Mind
There’s been this wave collective of fantastic creatives recently made up of artists who provide art that’s visually stunning as well as aurally satisfying with the range of genres mixed, matched, butchered, and beautifully reworked into something new. This kind of Art Rawk movement for us has been spearheaded by some potent Pop to boot with the likes of Ashnikko, Lauren Sanderson, Maggie Lindemann, and WILLOW sharing the weight together and a frequent collaborator of many on that list, Siiickbrain, is here with new full-length My Masochistic Mind to make a statement of her own.
