Lord 13 – Review

January 1, 2007

Debut from this Greek stoner rock band. Mid-tempo roll, like Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave,” which “Fillin’ the Feeling” lifts.

Logjam – Stumped – Review

January 1, 2007

David Lee Roth’s “Yankee Rose” becomes “Yankee Trombone.” Show tunes, trombone solos, carnival metal, punk pop, and countrified sister-fucking all on one CD.

Lodown – Black Horse – Review

January 1, 2007

Stoner groove moments, total metal power, a kinda Sebastian Bach snarl, and some glorious dark rock sleaze, like if The Crüe were from Detroit, and pissed.

Lifetime – Review

January 1, 2007

Classic Lifetime, still great after all these years and all those imitators, both good and bad. Fast, catchy, and melodic.

Laethora – March of the Parasite – Review

January 1, 2007

Debut from this brutal death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, featuring guitarists from Dark Tranquillity and Provenance. Straight-up death/grind.

KEG – Creatures of the Night – Review

January 1, 2007

This Seattle dude builds his songs layer by layer live, cuz he’s a solo “band.” It’s rock, it’s honest, it’s got glam, punk, bar rock, and feces in it.

Kaddisfly – Set Sail the Prairie – Review

January 1, 2007

Light, airy, progressive, creative, and melodic. A pleasant band that makes me want to wear slippers and drink herbal tea and lazily tinker with things.

Zozobra – Harmonic Tremors – Review

January 1, 2007

While Cave In is on a break, bassist screamer Caleb Scofiled teamed up with Old Man Gloom beater Santos Montano for this slab of glorious ugliness.

Youth Group – Casino Twilight Dogs – Review

January 1, 2007

Second release by these Aussies, still well-crafted indie rock, still right on my threshold for lilting. Still worshipping The Smiths.

Willowz – Chautauqua – Review

January 1, 2007

They have a nice “old time rock and roll” sound and have toured with Wolfmother, New York Dolls, and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
