One mark of a great artist in this reviewer’s mind is when you see their name listed somewhere, whether it’s in passing on a streaming site or a random social media post or press release, and a song of theirs immediately comes to mind. Just by seeing that moniker in print somewhere. BLAB is that kind of artist making the kinds of songs that are instantly recognizable as their own and, better still, hard to forget.
[Read more…]Singles! Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., “Drift”
Much like producer Mark Ronson’s records under his own name, Sam Duckworth exudes a fantabulous flair when stepping out from behind the mixing board and letting his freak flag fly on his own under the moniker of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. And much like Ronson, what Duckworth creates on latest single “Drift” is a far cry from the many collaborations and production credits that already illuminate his name.
[Read more…]Singles! BLAB, “Eton Mess”
How can you go wrong with two minutes of driving, unfiltered RAWK?!?! The answer is: You can’t! Especially when it’s as infectious as the most recent release from Southend’s BLAB. When last we left Frances Murray (BLAB), the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist was laying out this raucous “contemporary cautionary tale of woe” on “Casual Sex” (Which you can read in our review here) but this time around, BLAB has set their sights on the Tories and the British government for “Eton Mess”.
[Read more…]Singles! Temptress, “Find My Way”
You’d think at this point that we’d get tired of heaping praise on Temptress. But we don’t. And the reason is simply that they continually put out some of the most solid slabs of heaviness! So when it comes down to it, who are we to complain when an artist really hits their sonic stride this well?
[Read more…]Singles! Underwing, “House On Fire”
While Underwing might already be the Desert Rawk, Grunge, Prog hybrid you didn’t know you needed in your life, they might also be onto something wholly original with their unique blending and melding of styles. Listening through “House On Fire”, their latest single and video, and the only artist that remotely comes close to what they’re doing is He Is Legend…and that only holds true for bits and pieces of the track. But whatever genre you’d like to tie them down to, there’s no denying that what Underwing has created here is undeniably infectious and persistently timeless.
[Read more…]Singles! Suspects, “The Mental Health Act”
Nobody really does driving anthems theses days. Sure, there’s bands like Foo Fighters putting out Pop puff disguised as Rawk but where is the new Springsteen? Gaslight Anthem? Against Me!? Bueller??? Hopefully the UK’s Suspects can rectify this gross negligence in the current music community with “The Mental Health Act”, the title track from their forthcoming new EP. Because it’s huge. And anthem driven. And just what we all needed.
[Read more…]Singles! The D.O.O.D., “Kill The Light”
The Distinguished Order Of Disobedience or The D.O.O.D. as they’re more elegantly referred to deliver one powerful punch with their latest single, “Kill The Light”. Taking cues from Pist.On’s accessible Hardcore sensibilities, Texas Hippie Coalition’s driving sonic anthems, and the ferocity from Goth heavies Dead Girls Corp and Rob Zombie at his Electro best (Think anything off Hellbilly Deluxe or White Zombie’s “The One”), The D.O.O.D. is a melting pot of killer styles and sounds with barely any genre being able to contain what this sextet bring to the table.
[Read more…]Singles! ODC, “I Love The Way You Fall”
ODC is the best kind of artist. They’re that unique blend of styles that transcends genres and brings to mind the old adage: It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. One thing’s for sure, though, and that is ODC is undeniably HEAVY as is clearly evident on their unrelenting upcoming single, “I Love The Way You Fall”.
[Read more…]Singles! A Cause In Distress, “Paraffin”
There’s only a handful of artists around nowadays who can release a new single that you just know will deliver without hearing a single note and, I’m sure we’ve said this before about them but, A Cause In Distress is one of those rarities who also hearken back to a time when new music drops were rightly cherished and celebrated.
[Read more…]Singles! ÆGES, “Colors”
Coming at listeners like a sonic 18 wheeler barreling full speed towards a brick wall, ÆGES’ latest single is a promising taste of what’s to come from the Los Angeles-based quartet. Fresh off last year’s DrØmmen record (Which we reviewed here), ÆGES return with a massive pummeler that’s like Mastodon doing Arena Rawk and just what we needed to hear at this very moment in time.
