We’ll take “Bands That Really BROUGHT IT in 2023” for $2000, Alex! Whoa. Just, whoa. Can that be our review? Solace, the latest from Chicago’s REZN is a transformative listening experience. It’s an album that can easily be enjoyed in parts but, in reality, is best enjoyed as a whole. That said, when you do choose to dive fully into Solace, and you definitely will choose to do so, make sure you set aside some tiiiime to enjoy it all at once.

Where have you been all our lives, The Freqs??? On the surface, checking out Poachers from The Freq’s and you can see where comparisons to early Royal Blood (2014’s self-titled in particular) or Queens Of The Stone Age and their Lullabies To Paralyze daze might come in but when you really dive in to their latest release you’ll come to find that there’s so much more to this eclectic and electric Salem, MA-based trio.

What a weird, wonderful clusterfuck of sounds Superterrestrial bring to our collective earholes with some “Space-themed Black Metal” on their latest effort, The Fathomless Decay. Add in an overall haunting and menacing atmosphere to all the heaviness that comes off like a nasty wraith who just won’t leave you alone (Think Samara in The Ring) and Superterrestrial’s newest is one that you should definitely pay attention to in 2023.

With One Last Look Upon The Sky, Manchester, New Hampshire’s Dust Prophet has managed to craft something that’s akin to the epic thematic storytelling of Kyuss’ monstrous Sky Valley record told through the rawness of Wretch or Clutch’s self-titled. It’s a beautiful Desert Rawk opus that captures the spirit of those legendary generator parties and supplants the sunshine with the bleakness of a New England winter.
[Read more…]We Are Scientists Continue On A Path Of Constant Excellence With LOBES
There’s something comforting in the knowledge of how amazing We Are Scientists has evolved over the years. Especially when considering how many of their contemporaries of the mid-aughts yielded many a one hit wonder/album and then went the way of the Dodo or just transmogrified into something different entirely (Looking at you, Arctic Monkeys), it’s a miracle they survived at all. Yet here we are with their eighth record right around the corner after a steady stream of solid releases and the feeling that We Are Scientists is still just getting started.
