Get Bent "Demo"

Not really an upload so to speak, but I love this band, and their demo is freely available on the internet via another sweet website called if you make it, but sharing is caring and spreading awareness about incredible bands is ultimately why I signed up to do this whole blog thing, so check this out.

Dudes from NY. Reminds me of Piebald and Small Brown Bike kinda. Vocals very Piebald. Love it!

STARCROSSED - demo

Remember the late 90's when that whole resurgence of post indie rock everyone called "emo"? And remember how every band wanted to have that sound...

That's basically what you have here. Although it was like 2002.

I got in the mood of finding a bunch of old local bands and came across this. I had the privilege to play many of shows with these fine gents.

Starcrossed was from Kent, Ohio and threw in a nice balance of singy rock with a bit of screaming in the background.

Bossk ".2" EP

UK based Neurosis/Isis/Cult of Luna styled stuff. This is their 2nd EP, which features my favorite Bossk song.

These guys recently called it quits but have all of their collected releases (2 EP's and a dvd I believe...) as part of a 3 disc box set. so if you dig this, I strongly urge you go pick that up.

Make With The DL.

RFTC, the followup to their major-label debut Scream, Dracula, Scream. After all, diversity isn't Rocket from the Crypt's bag -- they just love rock & roll, baby, and all of the sleaze, leather, booze, bikes and babes that come with it. Before, they kept raw by producing their own records, but here they hired an outside producer in Kevin Shirley, who previously worked with Journey. There's not a trace of Journey on RFTC, but Shirley has given the band a bigger, glossier sound that may distress longtime followers, who were into the whole MC5/Stooges/Stones biker vibe of the earlier albums.

I totally copied that from allmusic

Goatsnake - Trampled Under Hoof

Although this is an EP, only three of the disc’s five tracks are new. From the sludge that hits you on the first note of “Portraits of Pain,” it is clear that Goatsnake is moving away from simple stoner rock and into something much heavier. Anderson’s guitar is tuned down into the realm of muck and mire. As with previous releases, Pete Stahl’s vocals are perfect for this type of music - completely intelligible, but solid. “Black Cat Bone” picks up the pace a bit before progressing into the nine-minute epic “Juniors Jam.” The faint strains of a harmonica coupled with animal sounds near the end of the song serves as a nice break before the two covers on the EP.

Neither of the cover songs are new - they are just a bit harder to come by in the Goatsnake catalogue. Both were recorded with the band’s original lineup still intact. Up first is a cover of Saint Vitus’ “Burial at Sea” which also appeared on the group’s split with Burning Witch from 2000. The tastiest offering on Trampled Under Hoof is easily “Hot Rod” - a cover of a Black Oak Arkansas song from 1973’s Raunch & Roll Live. This gem is probably unknown by younger fans, but Goatsnake created an absolutely stellar rendition for their final track.

GUILTMAKER - Driven By Arms (Kiss of Death Records 2006)

Guiltmaker is a fantastic post-hardcore indie rock band featuring members from such hardcore acts as Early Grace, Reversal of Man, and Combat Wounded Veteran.

Guiltmaker's surprise is that their sound could not be more different from those names than it actually is. Melodic, sometimes melancholic but always sympathic...

The Replacements "Tim" Re-Issue

Here's my first post. No introductions to this band should ever be needed.

This is, however, one of those new fangled re-issue discs that has a bunch of "previously unreleased stuff" (though a bigger MATS fan tells me none of this is really anything new). There's an acoustic outtake of "Can't Hardly Wait" with different lyrics that absolutely floors me every single time I hear it. Enjoy!

dl. right now.

Hot Snakes - Thunder Down Under

The formula for the Hot Snakes’ Thunder Down Under is pretty simple: Take all the band’s best songs, shift them into overdrive, and play them as tightly as possible for a live session on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

In the relatively short lifespan of the Hot Snakes, John Reis of Rocket from the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu’s Eric Froberg were one of the most potent duos in music. The two were the driving force behind the band’s immaculate style of hardcore garage punk, and their collective genius shines through on the live radio performance. From “Braintrust” to “Hi-Lites” to “Retrofit,” the band relentlessly pounds through their high-intensity songs nearly flawlessly.

Froberg walks a seamless line between snotty melodic yelling, and unchained emotion. The band hits their peak with the mesmerizing “Plenty for All,” with dreamy guitar playing juxtaposed against pounding drums and Froberg’s shouts of “Southern California, let's go! There's room for us all.” Thunder Down Under also offers up two songs not on their full-lengths, “U.S. Mint” and the impromptu off-key “Rock N’ Roll Will Never Die,” the one track that doesn’t perfectly hit home.

The only problem with Thunder Down Under is that it was released posthumously, and the music community is no longer graced with the Hot Snakes’ presence. Even so, Thunder Down Under is a fitting end to a band who deserves every bit of success and acclaim they received, and should have gotten more. As long as this disc is available, we can be certain that it’s true: “rock 'n’ roll will never die."

Fifth Hour Hero - Not Revenge...Just a Vicious Crush (No Idea Records)

Prior to this release, Fifth Hour Hero's music reeked of potential like a motorcycle that'd been shipped in parts. The individual pieces were flashy enough when unassembled, but the whole wasn't ready to take off and roar on its own. Well, on Not Revenge... Just a Vicious Crush, it appears the Canadian quartet have done some assembly work: They've welded the bright-eyed abandon of Discount to the romantic melancholia of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy-era Jawbreaker, and powered it all with the stratospheric, we-die-together euphoria of Hot Water Music circa No Division. The result is a seamless combination of male/female melodies, and a wide-open musical throttle that roars on its own fuel from the first note and doesn't stop.
