My musical awakening hit around the mid-’90’s where the Big Four was at a crossroads and, in the case of NYC’s resident Thrash titans, going through a major personnel overhaul as well as a musical one. As I got older I appreciated the old stuff but Bush will always be my guy and underrated albums like Volume 8: The Threat Is Real still stand the test of time and remain in my regular rotation to this day.

Let’s be honest: This is probably the most important DevilDriver record since their debut dropped back in 2002.

[Read more…]Four Stroke Baron Collect Some Covers, Re-Record Their Own Classics For Monoqueen
Four Stroke Baron records are like the gifts that keep giving.
