Hello World! Here’s something from 2016

Horsehead and Goldrush - "Let Me Roll It" (Paul McCartney cover)

Bandwars has come to a conclusion after weeks or months of friendly rivalry with bands Horsehead and Goldrush collaborating on a Macca cover.  The tune turned out pretty well, although this video isn't the greatest quality. Good job, guys!

Goldrush celebrated the release of its 1st full length album, Greatest Hits, that night as well! Listen below to "Pale Blue Dot (For Carl)," the first track that's been released.  This song is dedicated to Carl Sagan, the late astronomer known for his philosophical ideas as well as his writing the basis of the movie Contact.  His writings are a little more approachable than, say, Hawking's Brief History of Time (at least IMPO).  "Pale Blue Dot" refers to what Earth looks like in comparison to the rest of the universe.  We are so small.  As per usual, the rock and roll combined with fiddle (Treesa Gold) is a unique and edgy sound.  The band psychs the listener out with a false-ending about 3/4s through, and returns to its jam full-steam ahead.   Grungey guitars meld well with the furious fiddle and Prabir Mehta's lead vocals bleed over with multi-part harmonies.
