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.

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.

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.

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.

Cheeseburger – Review

January 1, 2007
