We’ll admit to being skeptical of any cover of “Running Up That Hill” after Placebo slayed with their take almost 20 years ago and, frankly, more than a little tired of hearing anything about that Kate Bush song as the whole Stranger Things hubbub did nothing for us. And then From Under Concrete Kings’ version came across our digital inbox and, well, we were impressed.
[Read more…]Temptress Bookend 2022 With Another Banger Full Length In Area Of Effect
You didn’t think New Hampshire’s Temptress would let you say goodbye to 2022 without dropping a slick jam or two or three, didja? Even better, Temptress is closing out the year with A WHOLE NEW RECORD! Inhabiting that crawlspace where the Electro excellence of both Rammstein and Static X lie while also exhibiting the immediacy that made Gravity Kills stand out from the rest as well as the refined elder statesmanship of later Sister Machine Gun, Temptress is back with a kind of modern Electronic Metal hybrid that only they could produce.
[Read more…]Robot Death Monkey Take The Intergalactic Party Powder, Traverse A Glorious Rifftastic Plane On Latest EP
Sure there’s some Clutch in the DNA of Edinburgh’s own Robot Death Monkey but when hearing the sheer riffage involved on their latest EP, Intergalactic Party Powder, the vibes lean much more in the realm of early Mastodon covering Kyuss with some good ole Boston Roadsaw thrown in for good measure. How’s that for a hot take?
[Read more…]22 from ’22: The albums that Rawked Rock And Roll Fables in 2022
Maybe in 2030 we’ll stop doing these lists featuring a number corresponding to the given year and make it a little easier for us but for now we’re still finding it hard to whittle down the artists and albums that kicked ass for us so if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it, y’know? And 2022 delivered yet again!
[Read more…]bikethrasher Bring The (Lou) Barlow And More On Modern Alt Rawk Bash The Cursed
Catchy and killer across five memorable tracks of modern Alt-Rawk bliss, The Cursed EP from Boston’s bikethrasher sounds more like an album from an established favorite than an early entry into a blossoming discography. And that’s just one of the reasons why you should tune in to bikethrasher now!
[Read more…]In The Blind Harness A Harrowing Harmony On Heavy AF Evolve & Escape
I love me some Dog Fashion Disco, okay? Jasan Stepp and crew (Including one of my all time favorite singers in Todd Smith) has been ripping it up for years across a plethora of projects which now includes In The Blind. Featuring an array of talent that features Stepp on guitar alongside former Nothingface bassist Bill Gaal, DFD’s John Ensminger behind the kit, and Megosh vocalist Josh Grosscup, debut record Evolve & Escape is unlike anything fans have heard from Stepp up to this point.
[Read more…]Dyr Faser Create A Calculated Cacophony On Cathartic Phantom Electric
It’s albums like the one Boston’s Dyr Faser’s recently put out that back our regular rule that starting any complete “Year End” list is a moot point until almost the very end and regarding Phantom Electric, we pretty much guarantee that you’re not likely to find any other artist in the area that sounds quite like this duo because the tracks found within this eight track full-length are similarly electric and eclectic, psychedelic and psionic so buckle up!
[Read more…]Stabbing Westward Return Electrified With Gargantuan Electro Comeback Chasing Ghosts
If something’s going to eventually end up on our year end list then it needs a proper review barring the tiny blurbs we add, right? It’s especially important to have a review when going through our Spotify “Wrapped” playlist for the year and many a song on said album lie pretty high in there. And for the record, we had started this thing back in March soon after the record came out but never finished it.
[Read more…]Singles! ALIENBLAZE, “Romantically Dead (Live)”
Sumerian Records is quickly becoming one of our “go to” labels when it comes to new music. Artists like Bones UK was always a favorite of ours, Poppy consistently slays, and we (gasp) only recently discovered Bad Omens and, in particular, the glory that is The Death of Peace of Mind (Easily making it onto our ‘Tops of ’22’ list). Which brings us to ALIENBLAZE who has released a slew of poignant Trip-Hop meets Grunge singles with one of the more recent songs, “Romantically Dead”, seeing an “official” live release recently.
[Read more…]Singles! Lux Lyall, “Draw Blood”
There’s a lot right with the latest single from Lux Lyall. Actually, what we meant is that all is right with the latest single from Lux Lyall. One of those “Where have I heard that before?” songs that’s just inherently timeless, “Draw Blood” is a mix of feels that combines the Gothic Pop of artists like PJ Harvey and Chelsea Wolfe with the Electro Western side of Wall Of Voodoo and the dark Americana of Tom Petty or Alannah Myles.
