Late the other night I started in with this stream of consciousness intro to this review where I was going to talk about my personal history with Rob Potylo. From the time a former friend got in trouble at work for playing “I Put A Baby In You” by his alter ego, Robby Roadsteamer, in my honor after learning that bostonregina and I had a baby on the way to getting to experience the misunderstood genius of Potylo in person years later when I found myself working at a different company in a brick and mortar-type establishment once again as Rob worked in the warehouse making frequent deliveries to the store I was in. I actually have a framed hand-drawn picture from Potylo adorning the wall of my Man Cave (Read: Comic Book Room) depicting our time together at that place.

We looooooove supporting local artists whenever we can. We especially love supporting local artists when they make music as incendiary as BEDTIMEMAGIC do. On Pillow Talk, out on November 8th, the Boston noiseniks concoct an opus that furthers their sound and statement while simultaneously bludgeoning as many earholes as (in)humanly possible along the way.
[Read more…]Singles! Groundlift, “Killer Petition”
It’s doubtful you’ll find a more catchy single coming out of Boston this fall. And probably none as unique sounding as “Killer Petition” is either as this, ahem, killer single treads the Land of the Lost in the way it traverses between the oft neglected area somewhere between the end of ’80’s Hair Metal and the beginning of Grunge.
[Read more…]Down and Outlaws Announce Final Show, Celebrate The End With Rawk Masterpiece Gas Money
Reviewing the latest from San Francisco’s Down and Outlaws is a bittersweet ordeal. On the one hand, there’s this record that epitomizes the heart and soul of Desert and Garage Rawk but on the other, it looks to also mark a coda to a decade long career as the quartet recently announced that their upcoming record release show on November 10th at Rickshaw Stop (Details here) will be their last of the foreseeable future. But hey, if you’re going to go out then an album like Gas Money is the right way to do it!
[Read more…]Singles! Carissa Johnson & The Cure-Alls, “The Upside”
Fans can thank The Cure-Alls’ guitarist Steph Curran and Johnson’s own cat, Ginger, for this rockin’ little ditty that’s just the latest in a slew of excellent new singles released since Talk Talk Talk dropped in 2018. Originally slated to be on an upcoming acoustic album by Johnson, the track was reconstructed after Curran heard it and recommended an alternate version for the full band. Ginger comes into play as the content of the song delves into life on the road and a yearning for stability.
[Read more…]Silvertomb Celebrate All Things Doom, Expand The Type O Negative Legacy On Edge Of Existence
One of our most anticipated of the year arrived later than expected but is easily worth the wait. From the ashes of Type O Negative and, more accurately, Seventh Void comes the new project from guitarist/vocalist Kenny Hickey alongside frequent partner-in-crime Johnny Kelly on drums who reunite for Silvertomb and this monumental slab of Gothic Doom called Edge Of Existence that is sure to fill the gap left in your black hearts in a world without Peter Steele.
[Read more…]Voyager Progress Prog On Epic Colours in the Sun
Voyager has this timeless quality about them. With these anthems that come at listeners like sonic battering rams, Perth’s Voyager tread an uncharted area where Prog and Math Metal live in harmony with New Wave. Yep, you read that right. Think Simon LeBon fronting Meshuggah.
[Read more…]Exclusive Album Premiere: BALUCHITHERIUM, Lost Glasses, Empty Love
This is a pretty big deal for us. Not only do we have the first review of the debut full-length from Boston’s BALUCHITHERIUM but we ALSO are honored to host an exclusive stream of said album before it releases on November 1st. Pretty cool, right? But definitely not as cool as the album we’re about to wax poetic on.
[Read more…]Tempers Go Dark And Dreamy On Modern Electronica Masterpiece Private Life
Tempers produce the kinds of earworms that you WANT to have stuck in your head for all time. For me, it was “Further” off 2017’s Fundamental Fantasy which initially hooked me and, without trepidation, I continually welcome any and all new music from the New York-based duo bringing us to this point in time and the imminent release of Private Life, their third full-length of dreamy dark Electro.
[Read more…]Singles! Rx27, “Gasoline” featuring Rikk Agnew
Everyone has different ways of celebrating Halloween. One of my recent traditions is to watch as many horror movies as (in)humanly possible…or at least 31 within the month of October. I check out new ones and revisit my kind of classics. Like Return of the Living Dead which is not only over-the-top ghoulish fun, but boasts one of the most kickass Goth Punk soundtracks of the ’80’s.
