Looking past all the spectacles and accessories, The Polyphonic Spree is nothing more than a quirky indie-pop band, akin to The Flaming Lips or The Unicorns.
The Helgas are the natural replacement for your overused Social Distortion discs, and they don’t even need breaking in. Straight-ahead no-bull punk rock.
This shit is knee-deep in bell bottoms, psychedelic drugs, and distortion pedals, which is probably why they’ve been embraced by the stoner rock folks.
They’ve expanded their blues-punk sound, incorporating elements of Stax style funk, kletzmer, and country waltz ballads. The current champions of boogie.
Vintersorg incorporates back-to-nature lyrics through the use of medieval, folky passages over Peccatum-styled terror prog, and occasional blasting blackness.
WOW!! Side project of ex-Brutal Truth vocalist Kevin Sharp, King Buzzo Osbourne from Melvins/Fantômas, and Shane Embury and Danny Herrera from Napalm Death.
Blunt, boorish words you can understand, riffs you’ll remember after the smoke’s cleared, production loud and proud, rhythms touched by the hand of chaos.
