Butcher Babies (Heavy Metal)
Butcher Babies (Heavy Metal)
The name, the name, the name just offends the hell out of my conditioned morality, but could the name be an indictment against the government of my beloved nation? The music, the music, the music just mellows the hell out of me. Literally. I love this shit. Labels be damned. I read on the internet that Carl Jung said that screaming could never be musical. On many things that Mr. Jung reported,…

Cloud Nothings (Live Action Report)
Cloud Nothings (Live Action Report)
There is a part of me that would love to say that the reason that I was backstage to take this photo was because the band knew who I am, but reality differs. I just happened to be drunk enough to open a door that hid a few stairs that led to a little corner of the backstage. I’m grateful for friends that endure my folly. The Dr. wears a crown when it comes to this and he beautifully refuses the…

Utah Phillips (Folk)
While looking through my Facebook feed today, Utah came to mind. A well-headed friend described the violent street protesters as Anarchists. It is not uncommon for violent protesters that riot against the state to be labeled as Anarchists. It does bother me when I see the label used this way, but accept that it is just another example of how the use of language can chisel perspective. I see them…

Little Wolves (Psychwave)
This two-man get up from Los Angeles is currently working on new music for a new album. I’ve been holding off sharing them here with anticipation of the new material, but I’ve run out of patience. One of my nephews recently asked me about what I listen to when listening to music. Do I listen more to the lyrics or beat, and is there anything that I pick to listen for. I told him that I listen to…

Dead Skeletons (Psychedelic Rock)
Dead Skeletons (Psychedelic Rock)
Nonni Dead was born the same year as the writer. What that has to do with anything, I’m not certain, but his band’s art and his personal art touches me. It touches the dark quiet places that I still share with my earlier years. The times when laying in bed at night and a still object in the room would suddenly awake to life through my fear of the darkness. Being too afraid to leave the bed, I…

Tash Sultana (Alternative)
This discovery comes by the way of a Facebook friend from Austrailia. This friend, I have never met, but through correspondence, a relationship has grown through similar understandings of our individual realities. I’m grateful for the bond made with this individual that resides half way across the planet. Social Media seems a source of ugly societal uprisings, but on the flip side, it can be a…

Rival Sons (Hard Rocking Blues)
Rival Sons (Hard Rocking Blues)
This band from Long Beach, California is the opening act for Black Sabbath so this band isn’t as underground as most that are posted about here, but I just got a first listen to their stuff today and I enjoy what they are creating. The vocals are as strong as any I’ve heard and the groove they produce is perfect for drinking, dancing, and driving. The Town of Hard Rock is chock full of talented…

Factory Floor (Post Industrial Electronic)
Factory Floor (Post Industrial Electronic)
Here is another band from The Island. I have been keeping tabs on Factory Floor, formed in 2005, for close to a year now. Electronica is not a genre that I have any level of deep listening experience to bank on when listening for bands that sound interesting to me. I just looked up my first share from this genre, Mystery Skulls, and while they haven’t taken over the world, they have enjoyed some…

Kid Karate (Rock)
Mama thinks that I’m mostly of Scottish Highland brood, but if I were to judge my affection for creations coming out of Ireland; I would think that I’m heavily stocked with Irish blood. This is another band from Dublin, and they just simply jam out rock tunes that seem influenced by more than a couple of my favorite bands. I read a quote from Freddy Prince about the future of music losing its…

The Garden (Nontrad Punk)
This is simply two beautiful Californian weirdos from the same egg that seem to pretty much do what they want with their creativity, and I adore them for it. I have been listening to this band for nearly a year and haven’t yet tired of their vibrations. I won’t compare them to Devo (proly just did) :) other than how their sounds are difficult to put in an established box of a genre on first…

Game Seven
Game Seven The dirt and grass Are the needle To the anxiety That sells Two cities Where the buyers Are long suffered By reality And superstitions To lose their minds For three hours A week before A national parade of fool’s decides And feel Just feel the hope And excitement And anxiety That comes with Feeling a part of Being a champion To relive In part Being first To the old oak tree and not A…

Brandy Clark (Country)
I had just finished a twelve-hour shift in the factory. Taking a seat in my car and letting the car warm up, I take a look at my phone and see a friend request on Facebook. I don’t get that many requests. I might get one a month, and usually, it is from folks I don’t know that have male accounts, under a female name with a profile picture where their boobs take up a third of the photo. Today that…

Barb Wire Dolls (Punk)
Barb Wire Dolls (Punk)
This punk band from Greece recently signed on with Motorhead Music. This is subversive, in your loving face punk. Pyn Doll grabs my attention here. Her act comes across as a genuine middle finger to the establishment’s cages, and I for one just adore her for I love to be disturbed. This band won’t be for everyone and never has a punk band been. Pyn reminds me of Wendy O’ Williams in how free she…

Sturgil Simpson (Call to Arms and Charlie Rose)
Sturgil has been compared to Waylon Jennings, and it is fairly easy to see the fairness in that comparison, but I would like to compare him to maybe George Carlin and Timothy Leary. I see Sturgil’s hand up high in the sky when Jimi asks “Are you experienced.” My favorite country artist may tell that he has never been over the edge, but his creations tell me a different story. The only way to know…

Ski Mask Malley (Rythm Assisted Poetry)
Psalms 118:22 The stone that the builders refused has become the cornerstone. I have struggled over the past few years with understanding the violence in some forms coming out of the rap genre. I have wondered why it is popular within communities that have very little on the surface in common with areas that violent rap seems seeded from. I had reckoned that it was to today’s young like metal…

The Idiot Kids (Dirty Punk)
The Idiot Kids (Dirty Punk)
The name of this band seems appropriate for this day. The day that follows the first debate between two large idiots from which we are left to choose from for President of the United States of America. Everybody is a kid to somebody. These kids from the Detroit area and there isn’t much available about the band. They are about as underground as it gets. I went to their Bandcamp page and liked…
