Listen to a new track from The Damnwells
The new Damnwells CD should be out before the end of the year (hopefully before the end of the summer). Here’s a track from the CD, “She Goes Around”.
Barn Burner
Found a post on MetalSucks.net titled “Metal Blade Records in 2010: Still Killing It”. Can’t remember the last time I cared about anything Metal Blade put out and, truthfully, really had no idea the label was still kicking it. The description of Barn Burner particularly interested me:
Up-beat, throwback stoner metal ala The Sword that’s got some real soul and actual musicality.
If you’re going to describe a band in 15 or words or less, this is how it should be done. I immediately sought out Barn Burner’s latest, Bangers, and it’s exactly as described by MetalSucks – throwback stoner metal. This is the type of band that I love stumbling across at SXSW, not knowing anything about them or their music.
Check this out (language at the beginning is NSFW).
Band to Watch: Kopek
Catching up on e-mails after being on vacation for a week, I was introduced to Irish trio Kopek. It’s interesting how my frame of mind is different than others – I hear a modern sounding glam rock band which makes sense considering these 20-somethings are influenced by the likes of Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Stones. But others are comparing them to Alternative Press-type bands like The Exies and My Chemical Romance. Either way, it’s all good fist-pumping rock and sounds like something custom-made for driving around in the summer with the windows rolled down.
You’ll be able to buy White Collar Lies digitally beginning June 29.
