Cancer Bats – N.I.B. – Music Stream

June 24, 2013

We don’t (nor have we ever) needed a cover of a Black Sabbath song because the boys from Birmingham made them all perfect the first time.

Paramore – Now – Music Stream

June 20, 2013

I’ve got a huge soft spot for Paramore’s unfailingly earnest and polished punk pop, and especially the incredible vocals of Hayley Williams.

Whitechapel – Vicer Exciser – Music Stream

June 20, 2013

They’ve gone on to greater things since their 2007 debut, The Somnatic Defilement, but “Vicer Exciser” is a good example of their early sound.

Moss – Horrible Nights – Music Stream

June 19, 2013

Southampton U.K.’s Moss – from the respected Rise Above record label – certainly earn the all caps of the “pure DOOM METAL” descriptor in their press release.

The Bronx – Ribcage – Music Stream

June 17, 2013

Ocean Colour Scene – Painting – Music Stream

June 17, 2013

Coming up on 25 years together, Britpop staples Ocean Colour Scene never had the stateside success that Oasis or Blur did.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Let the Day Begin – Music Stream

June 9, 2013

BRMC didn’t seem to have the same clarity of vision to hang with the garage revivalists they were lumped in with, but time had been good to them.

Soilwork – Spectrum of Eternity – Music Stream

June 8, 2013

A double album of melodic death metal may seem like a headscratcher at first, but Soilwork fired a warning shot with their last album, The Panic Broadcast.

Mother of God – Anthropos – Music Stream

March 8, 2013

Metallic stoner rock riffery meets heavy grunge soulful/sorrowful vocals. There’s enough Mastodian cosmic swirl and thrust so it’s not duh-metal.

Five Horse Johnson – The Taking of Blackheart – Music Stream

March 7, 2013

Southern rock swagger, harmonica-drenched, dusty vocals of wide range and wide-legged stance kick up electrified cowboy grit like tequila-shooting Molly Hatchet.
