Def-Con-One – Soul Possessed – Music Stream

April 2, 2014

Pure opening-act mediocrity from the UK. Def-Con-One is a throwback to scores of second stage Ozzfest bands from the late ’90s-early ’00s.

Veara – The Worst Part of You – Music Stream

April 1, 2014

Like loads of good-but-indistinguishable pop punk bands of the late ’90s, they have heart and skills, but haven’t found their unique voice by their 2nd album.

Letlive – Banshee (Ghost Fame) – Music Stream

March 31, 2014

Pop raps (remember 311? No?) and Linkin Park clean vocals offset with screaming and metal groove are a mix bound to sell.

Slough Feg – Digital Resistance – Music Stream

March 21, 2014

Slough Feg wastes no time delivering fuzzy NWOBHM feelings on “Digital Resistance,” the title track of their ninth studio album.

Eldritch – Alone Again – Music Stream

March 20, 2014

Intriguing, moody power metal from Italy. Incredibly (for this genre), the singer doesn’t overplay it.

Nashville Pussy – The South’s Too Fat To Rise Again – Music Stream

March 19, 2014

Nashville Pussy is guaranteed to clear all the shit from your sinuses with all-business rock cleansers.

Sister – My Enemy – Music Stream

March 18, 2014

Scandinavia has always been the place to look for sleazy glam punk rock ‘n’ rolla, and Swedish outfit Sister delivers the goods.

Indian – Directional – Music Stream

March 7, 2014

The opening track is a howling hell hole of a song, recalling Made Out of Babies at their most cathartic. Plus, it’s called “Rape.”

Behemoth – Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel – Music Stream

January 31, 2014

Nergal has defeated leukemia and hosted a Polish version of The Voice, all while creating brutal death metal. It’s kind of hard not to root for the guy.

Dum Dum Girls – Lost Boys and Girls Club – Music Stream

January 30, 2014

My brother-in-law saw this band open up for Ben Gibbard, and his zero-word review was a lethargic shoulder shrug. Maybe they’ve improved with age? Maybe not.
