Singles! Digital Eulogy, “Collapse”

6 January 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

I have no idea what “Grungecore” is but I know what I like and I definitely like this. “Collapse” is the name of the debut single from New England’s premiere purveyors of the movement known as “Grungecore” and what they purvey is righteous and raucous. So buckle up!

Singles! Lauren Lakis, “Sail Away”

4 January 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

Lauren Lakis is the kind of artist who lives in another plane of existence. She dwells somewhere beyond the scope that we mere mortals can comprehend with the sights and sounds she conjures and ultimately astounds our collective ears and eyes with on the regular. Like she’s done once again with “Sail Away”.

Singles! Temptress, “Disarmed”

1 January 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

We can’t think of a better way to start 2021 than with a raucous slab of Industrial-fused Electro Metal from local heavies Temptress. “Disarmed” is the name of this game and it’s yet another evolution for the New Hampshire outfit.

20 for ’20: An Exhausting List Of Our Favorite Music That Got Us Through A Truly Exhausting Year

31 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

It’s an understatement that 2020 was a pretty fucked up year, right? Machine Head was the last live band I saw back in February and a few days after that I found myself in an emergency room with some unexpected surgery to be had (Don’t worry, I’m fine now!) followed by the shutdown across the country. There’ve been ups, downs, and everything in between in 2020 but one constant has been the music. Artists have adapted with some keeping those schedules and releasing new albums despite not being able to tour behind them while others are holding off altogether. Some have done well with the new norm of livestreamed concerts and while I’ve checked out a few, personally they’re just not my cuppa.

Singles! Practice, “I Saw Love”

22 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

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.

Singles! War On Alexandria, “The Void”

18 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

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.

grabyourface Heads For The Brink On Classic Industrial Sea

16 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

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!

Hands Of Attrition Traverse A New Level Of Modern Groove Metal On Colder Places

14 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

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.

Magnetic Eye Records Celebrates 10 Years With Day Of Doom Live Concert Albums

10 December 2020 By jesse 1 Comment

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?
