We’re on the road to the release of the Loud, Bright and Violent EP and Boston’s Sunshine Riot is unveiling yet another slab of Steve Albini-recorded modern Alt for the masses with the release of the slick, suave, and steady sounding “So It Comes”.
[Read more…]NAUT Run The Goth Gamut On Equally Gloomy And Glowing Hunt
We’re suckers for Goth Rawk, okay? If we press “play” on a given record and we’re instantly transported to our favorite local club nights where the minimum dress code is “all black everything” then we’re in. And Bristol’s NAUT do that on their debut full-length Hunt so again, we’re in. Simple as that.
[Read more…]Hammerhedd Dive Deep On Modern Thrash Masterpiece Nonetheless
Like a lot of the Metal world, we were initially blown away by Hammerhedd when that Sepultura medley started making the rounds back in 2017 (Check it out here if you missed it). Since then the trio of Ismert brothers (Take that, Max and Iggor!) has spent their days honing their craft, expanding their sound, and creating a pretty rad debut full-length with 2021’s Grand Currents. Cut to today and the boys are back in town with 52 minutes of even heavier Metal and a sophomore opus that’s every bit as brilliant as their first yet something else entirely with added dimensions and depth to their established Nu-Thrash sound.
[Read more…]No Spill Blood Bring Sinister Synths To A Delightfully Different Kind Of Heaviness On Eye Of Night
We find it hard to believe that you’ll find a more eclectic concoction of heaviness in the year 2023 beyond what Dublin’s No Spill Blood is offering with their latest outing, Eye Of Night. Like this synthetic orchestra mixed with a diabolically visceral noise experiment, No Spill Blood’s newest LP is an incredible amalgamation of sound that worships the heavy in a lush, vibrant world.
[Read more…]REZN Launch A Harmonious Hum Of Heaviness On Vibrant Solace
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.
[Read more…]Singles! The Rupert Selection, “Astronauts” & “Then Again”
Who is The Rupert Selection and why is they so frelling good? These answers and more you’ll find in the latest edition of “Whoops, looks like we missed another goddamn great Boston outfit floating right under our noses”! Please join us, won’t you?
[Read more…]HOST Find A Lost Paradise With Enthralling New Wave Meets Electro Debut In IX
We’re going to look back on this post and feel it’s incredibly dated but who cares! In a week that’s brought tour announcements from The Sisters Of Mercy, Skinny Puppy, and Duran Duran with news of actual happenings from The Cure also imminently on the way, it’s fitting that Nick Holmes’ and Greg Mackintosh’s HOST comes to light and sees release later this month as its’ darkened New Wave Electro Rawk is a fairly nice cornucopia of all that noise and then some.
[Read more…]The Freqs Relish In All Things RAWK On Potent Poachers
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.

[Read more…]Incoming! 23 for ’23: The Rock And Roll Fables Guide To The Greatest The Next Year Has To Offer… As Of Right Now
Here we go again! Part wishful thinking, part playing detective while piecing together social media updates, and part actual facts! We could only be talking about our latest crystal ball viewing as we look to the year 2023 and hope for the best that those “confirmed” releases actually come out and that maybe our thoughts and prayers are answered when it comes to those with less concrete plans as of this posting.
