The Tides of Tragedy begins forcefully, with the songs showcasing excellent metal riffs intertwined with hardcore-like chugga-chugga riffs, much like Atreyu.
This five-song EP (three newbies plus St. Vitus and Black Oak Arkansas covers released on rare comps) comes like four years after the last Goatsnake release.
With a sound that resonates long after you’re done listening, Days Like These’s Lobster debut is a spectacle of talented musicianship and surprising maturity.
Contraband is a fantastic ALBUM, something you’ll want to play from start to finish, not unlike G N’ R’s Appetite For Destruction or the first few STP discs.
The band have a very firm grasp on what makes psychedelia work. They’re take what could’ve been incidental music and they’ve made it muscular and captivating.
The two discs are a buncha material recorded from 1997 to 2000, including Taste the Pain and Murder Company, a split with Sheavy, a Trouble cover, and more.
Mid-tempo’d hard rock that keeps the bottom moving and layers vocal melodies against well-arranged tunes. An affinity with bands typified as stoner rock.
