Practice is such and unique blend of indescribable sonic delights. Formed by We Are Scientists, Spill Gold, and Bishop Allen’s former drummer Michael Tapper, Practice hearkens back to a time when music was just fun and with recent single “I Saw Love” (Taken from the forthcoming full-length due in early 2021), explores and encapsulates that aesthetic to give listeners this this pure, raw thing that’s jovial, jubilant, and genuine.
[Read more…]Singles! War On Alexandria, “The Void”
One of the most diverse Rawk outfits on the Boston music scene currently, War On Alexandria return with one huge last hurrah for 2020 and a song that is easily their most complex and intriguing yet. Built upon this brooding atmosphere, “The Void” taps into the darker aspects of Possum Kingdom (Think “I Burn” especially off that classic record by The Toadies) to create the first War On Alexandria dirge.
[Read more…]grabyourface Heads For The Brink On Classic Industrial Sea
This is such an interesting piece of art! Kind of hearkening back to the mid-’90’s and downtrodden tunes that were emerging from the underbelly of Grunge (Think Kim Gordon-led Sonic Youth moments and the majority of the Lou Barlow-driven Kids soundtrack as a template), grabyourface’s Sea takes that sound, combines it with lo-fi Hip-Hop and the beginnings of Trip-Hop and wraps it all in an Industrial setting. Intrigued yet? Because you should be!

Listening through the debut release from Hands Of Attrition is similar to the experience I had when listening to Threat Signal’s Under Reprisal, Lamb Of God’s Ashes of the Wake, or Machine Head’s Burn My Eyes for the first time. And like those albums, Colder Places is just as vicious as it is vital.

I could either completely exhaust myself and do four separate reviews of the albums that represent 2019’s Day Of Doom live showcase at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar heading towards the end of releases in 2020 when most are shifting their focus to year end lists and preview pieces…or just do one MASSIVE review of all the releases. Take a guess where we’re going with this one, won’t you?
[Read more…]Video View: Durbin, “Kings Before You”
Was it ever cool to watch American Idol? Because I did. Fairly religiously. For a spell. Mostly as a weekly excuse to hang with some close friends who were also music nerds but I still did it. And I’m not ashamed of that fact. Thanks for reading.
[Read more…]Singles! Elizabeth Leslie, “Empire Falls”
“Empire Falls” by Toronto’s Elizabeth Leslie is everything I love in my Synth-Pop/Darkwave: Apocalyptic, ominous, and most importantly, danceable.
[Read more…]Doom, Desert Rawk, and Black Metal Collide On Fiery Debut Release From Oldblood
A brutal, breathing behemoth in four parts which is beyond epic, Oldblood’s debut EP release has more masterful Metal within its’ short space than many a full-length released this year.
[Read more…]Singles! Palm Ghosts, “Static Swell”
Sometimes a song just strikes you so hard that it’s hard to form coherent thoughts or adequately describe what you’re feeling due to the flood of emotions that it evokes. “Static Swell” by Nashville’s Palm Ghosts is that kind of song.
