Another bulk post while we get acquainted, mm? I loaded up mostly new-to-me songs in Winamp early this week, and hoped for the best. All of these were found online, so if you want to hear a song or more from the band, just do a search.
This album comes out March 7th, so I don't have a link for the song yet. You can find it online if you're so inclined. This band is touring with Ministry in March-April, and it didn't occur to me how they were linked bands until I heard this song. Listening to it a few times, I'd say that if you've heard Meshuggah and found them boring, you will like this song. However, if you are a Meshuggah fan, chances are pretty good that you'll find this song a bit too simple.
This is the first single for their new album, due out April 1st, preceded by this particular song as a its first single. As with Meshuggah, I don't have a link to post yet, but you can find a 20 second clip on their myspace. It's a pretty standard The Sword track, although perhaps more hyper than what can be found on their 2006 album Age of Winters. Good stuff, here.
This band is familiar to Isis in their ambiance, except probably more suited to those coming from a heavy rock/metal background. I'm not sure what to say about them besides that, other than that I don't know how I missed hearing these guys until recently. This song, however, is very good.
Another artist I missed due to ignorance. Morrissey was originally the singer for the Smiths before starting his own project in the late 80s. This has a bouncy rockabilly, alternative rock feel that most of you should be able to appreciate.
If you like stoner rock with leanings towards heavy, grunge-y rock, you will like this. This band has a Melvins feel to them. If you live in the Western half of the US, you should be able to catch these guys on tour in March. Also check out "Reverse Thunder" on their myspace (linked).
Song: "Down In Mexico" Artist: The Coasters Album: Death Proof OST (2007)
If you like oldies or you've seen the movie Death Proof, you're already familiar with this song. Brilliant simplicity.
Song: "Bikini" Artist: El Gordo Album: The Man Behind The Machine (2007)
Apparently the fat man doesn't walk alone after all. There's a very Kyuss-y feel going on here. These guys are obvious fans of Dozer, too. I think it's unfair that there are so many good stoner rock bands, or bands in general, that are overseas, out of my reach.
Wow. You've put a lot of thought and work into this. Deep thought--you've defined and detailed the existence of this site clearly. Hard work, at least it looks like it; I don't know, this could come easily for you. Regardless, the site looks great and is engagingly written in your own voice.I am anxious and excited to see where this leads.Congrats.
