Like Greg Puciato simultaneously fronting The Kinison, He Is Legend, and Refused circa The Shape of Punk to Come, The Nika Riots immediately stand apart with the righteous Rawk they bring forth on the incendiary Derelict. Barring those comparisons, the music itself is simultaneously textured, divine, and unrelenting and with Derelict, The Nika Riots has delivered a debut record that’s definitely demanding of your attention.

Easily one of our most anticipated releases for about 2 years now, FOZZY return with their 8th full-length this May and it is well worth the wait after the unexpected banger-maker that Judas turned out to be. In fact, you know what? I’m just going to come out and say it: BOOMBOX is the absolute BEST FOZZY record to date! Yep, better than Judas! Are you intrigued yet???
[Read more…]Tombstones In Their Eyes Get Fuzzier, Trippier, Transcendier With A Higher Place
If you were over the moon for Tombstones In Their Eyes’ last release like we were then we’re pretty sure, like us, that the follow up EP that hits soon is really gonna blow yer socks off. Or whatever you put on your feet because not everyone wears socks. But anyway! TITE is back with a neat little follow up that takes the groundwork laid throughout 2021’s Looking For A Light and builds a veritable sonic skyscraper from it. A Higher Place might only be comprised of six tracks but it’s a bountiful blast of titanic textures that unequivocally solidifies Tombstones In Their Eyes’ place amongst the fuzzed out Alternative elite.
[Read more…]Singles! Idler Wheel, “Matches”
Boston’s Idler Wheel is back with a new single ahead of a new album arriving in late May and if the rest of the rekkid is anything like “Matches” then fans are in for a treat and then some. Actually, we’ve heard said album that “Matches” is the lead single from and we know it is indeed a treat and then some so apologies on the misdirect to create some drama/mystery. Our bad!
[Read more…]Singles! Tysk Tysk Task, “Colors”
Wow, Lowell is really bringing it lately! Within the last month or so alone we’ve covered artists from the city in Middlesex County who are exquisitely brandishing variations of Darkwave, Alt-Folk, and more with Tysk Tysk Task arriving and adding to that list with their self-described “Indie Grunge Rock”. Read on to find out why we think they’re a whole helluva lot more than that.
[Read more…]Singles! Private Jetlag “Fortune Teller”
The Gap Band’s “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” has been a default alarm for quite some time for me so that legendary outfit is usually frolicking around ye olde subconscious. That said, it was rather refreshing to flip on the latest single from Private Jetlag to find that vibe is not only still going, but also going strong.
[Read more…]RoseR Bestow Some Funkified Alt-Soul With Latest Release
While there is indeed a LOT of crap music out there, we tend to be pretty biased when it comes to local artists. Luckily, that bias tends to be backed up on the regular when it comes to our home state and especially when it comes to Lowell’s own RoseR whose latest self-titled release is a tranquil slice of Alt meets Folk meets Americana that you didn’t know you needed in your life right now.
[Read more…]Steak Return With New Comic, New Movie, And Impressive New Album Acute Mania
I don’t remember when I first came across Steak but I do remember instantly loving what they had to offer so it’s kind of like the old adage about riding a bike when it comes to listening to the first new offering from the UK outfit after five years. Because on their latest, Acute Mania, Steak strike a chord throughout their 3rd full-length recording that is inherently timeless yet wholly relevant and fresh.
[Read more…]Ancient Settlers Crush On Unrelenting Mega Metal Epic Our Last Eclipse
Looking for some, pure, unrefined solid METAL for 2022? Then look no further than the International purveyors of the loud and the fast in Ancient Settlers who are absolutely BRINGING IT on their debut full-length Our Last Eclipse.
[Read more…]Meshuggah Return More Determined And More Diabolical With Immutable
2022 is turning out to be just the kind of year we predicted it would be where, with things trending towards a new “normal”, artists are starting to flood the market with records that are either practically bursting at the seams with something to say or ones that have been held up by whatever kind of pandemic-related delays (Production, recording opportunities, personnel, etc…) and are also ready to make some sort of grand statement. Like “Welcome back” in Meshuggah’s case.
