Greenleaf fuse the roiling generator party bottom-end/vibe that burbled up from Kyuss and the MeteorCity label with tasteful ’70s Euro-hard attack rock.
Filled with chest-puffing, fist-pounding gestures of manliness… but behold! There are interesting melodies, arrangements, and a Wild West saloon piano solo.
A reissue of the rising Taiwanese black metal band’s 2002 effort. Every bit as musically proficient, thematically grand, and lyrically poetic as Seediq Bale.
Bad Religion have been on the up and up since guitarist/backup vocalist Brett Gurewitz returned. No surprise this is another monolith of pop punk excellence.
Small-change artist, signed to major label in post-alternate rock feeding frenzy, suffers growing pains as she realizes just how major record labels work.
11 tracks that kinda blend, but there are breakdowns to anticipate, roars to marvel at, and guitarwork to learn. Little clean singing and keyboard flourishes.
Skindred is like no other. Groovecore with a Rasta singer. He can scat, rap, and harmonize like the emo metal pussies without crying his eyeliner into streaks.
