Starting off in an odd direction, perhaps

OK, Fabio sends the latest effort from a band this 55-year old listened to in 5th grade, kind of afraid of what this is gonna sound like......but like Fabio says, "A band that needs no presentation Hawkwind".....well, he's right there.....what this sounds like is anyone's guess, but I guess my curiosity is spiked a bit.


So here is their latest effort "Into the Woods".......I wonder if they latch onto current stoner type trends or what......should be of interest.

Brad Pot

Scorching, slamming punk rock from down under.........this one woke me up big time on first hearing. Excellent listening experience!.......here's a good review:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Melbourne, Australia’s Brad Pot deliver a positively scorching debut full-length that continues the legacy of Oz punk greatness.
Brad Pot is like that eagerly sought-afterKilled by Death compilation delivering a seamless stream of trash hits until the needle’s stuck in the lock groove and you’re sitting there hoping for another song. Their sound draws from the sonic attack of KBDlegends such as GasolineKraut,AuthoritiesThe Lewd84 Flesh and Shock, with just a requisite Down Under nod to earlyScientistsCosmic Psychos and Onyas. Even the over-three-minute (WOW!) “Black Eye” struts with The Heartbreakers’ dope swagger. Expect crashing drums, relentless bar chords, a bass player who’s probably the best musician in the group and maniacal vocals heaping loads of sneering frustration in your face – all with just a tad of melody, ofCOURSE.
Punk rock never went away. It was always there lurking in the shadows, but most people were too smugly satisfied to recognize the anger brewing just beneath the surface. Well, here it is…Brad Pot…the soundtrack to drinking yourself into oblivion because tomorrow will only suck worse…
BRAD POT-01 Air Strike/02 Acid/03 Your Fault/04 Picture/05 Black Eye/06 Dipped in Batter/07 100 Dollar Bills/08 Ms. Independent/09 Bullshit/10 Hit Me/11 Sweden

In the wake of Can and Space Debris come Sendelica, from Wales......I've not heard of them but they have a huge back catalogue of work.......I carpet bombed this live set and it's some trippy, spacey psychedelic rock (catch that Floyd cover!), if you've enjoyed the recent prog-ish stuff this is gonna be for you. Thanks to the always dependable Zigzagwanderer for keeping the freakish space-rock coming, exhilerating stuff.

From the fab "Blog That Celebrates Itself" (Check it by all means:
https://theblogthatcelebratesitself.bandcamp.com/ ) we have a bunch of total unknowns tackling the music of the Ramones......other than Death Valley Rally, these are unknown bands to me......just the way we like it........Ramones projects are often quite amusing, and I see this one as likely being in a similar vein.......and be sure and check the blog itself, really a good one! (I see we lead off with a 10-minute-plus "Commando", this should be fun!

Another Tribute Album

Sticking with "The Blog That Celebrates Itself" for a minute more (PLEASE check it, there is great
stuff there) while I pop on this 2017 look at a (sigh) 26 year old album, Nirvana's "Nevermind", one of my five favorite albums.....anyway, other than 93millionmilesfromthesun, these are pretty much unfamiliar bands, to me........love most of the songs on that album, though, and hope one of these bands takes one of these songs for their own.......like the Ramones project, I think this should be a fun one to listen to.

Another Record Store Day treat

0
0
Following up yesterday's offering, here is a real rarity by the same Mr. Jones as yesterday's......act quickly, just to be safe.......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In August 1971, David Bowie's manager, Tony Defries had 500 promo LPs pressed to secure Bowie and fellow Mainman artist Dana Gillespie a record deal.
This promo album, featuring seven Bowie songs on one Side A and five by Gillespie on the flip, is often referred to as the BOWPROMO white label album.
It came in generic white outer and inner sleeves and had no printed labels, so its matrix number (BOWPROMO 1A-1/1B-1) is the only way to safely identify it.
This Record Store Day release faithfully replicates the original promo, with Bowie's seven tracks on one side, and adds five exclusive Bowie prints.
(Limited worldwide release of 15,000.) 

SIDE A:
01 Oh! You Pretty Things (BOWPROMO Mix) 
02 Eight Line Poem (BOWPROMO Mix) 
03 Kooks (BOWPROMO Mix) 
04 It Ain't Easy 
05 Queen Bitch (BOWPROMO Mix) 
06 Quicksand (BOWPROMO Mix) 
07 Bombers (BOWPROMO Mix)

Mountain Movers

I have never heard of these guys (and gal) they've apparentely been around for a while.....this grabbed my ear with it's lo-fi garage/alt/psych.......anyone with any of their older material, I'm interested, and thanks to Johnny Nightlock for this contribution. "I Could Really See Things" is fab......

The Mountain Movers have, over the course of five albums and a decade’s worth of LPs, CDs, 7-inches, CDrs, and cassettes steadily become New Haven’s best kept secret; a band capable of lurching between melancholic indie rock, strident garage/psych and pummeling guitar freak-fuckery. Their earliest beginnings saw the band documenting bandleader Dan Greene’s (formerly of Butterflies of Love) vast catalog of songs, while displaying a rotating cast of New Haven musicians’ unique skills. Shortly after the bands fourth album (2011‘s “Apple Mountain”) constant members Greene and bassist Rick Omonte were joined by drummer Ross Menze and guitarist Kryssi Battelene, forming what is now the Mountain Mover’s longest running lineup. The band’s eponymous sixth album takes cues from everything before and coalesces the bands vision so succinctly and perfectly, it makes you wonder where they’re been your whole life.

“Mountain Movers” starts off with the dark, stormy fourteen minute track “I Could Really See Things”. Fading into view with a scree of feedback, the drums and bass start to pound and pummel until the song lurches forward, lumbering purposefully toward slashes of guitar improvisation (courtesy of lead guitarist Battalene of Colorguard and Headroom whose playing evokes the lava soaked fingers of Mizutani and Keiji Heino). Then, in a flash, the jangling, melodic strum of “Everyone Cares” floats along, it’s dreamy chorus like a salve to the six-stringed burns that preceded it. After, a brief “Intro”, “Angels Don’t Worry” is next up, finding that sweet spot between murky kraut-tinged psychedelia and acid-fried guitar-noise exploration. “Vision Television” pounds out succinct garage stomp, with poetic Sixties snot and heavy VU-inflected swagger, straight outta “The Matrix Tapes” (disc two). The album is bookended by another long-form improvised jam, appropriately titled “Jam 2” that fades into a full-bore, head-down krautrock slow burn that somehow sounds like the most melodic of Can’s repertoire and Sonic Youth at their most effective improv stages (Bad Moon Rising/EVOL/Sister era), “Mountain Movers” is a tour de force. Greene’s songwriting hits home when it needs to, but leaves pockets open for the band to stretch out and really find a way inside the songs themselves.

Here’s a perfect burst of swooning, happy-sad bedroom guitar-pop sunshine from New Zealand’s Fazerdaze (aka Amelia Murray), taken from her beautiful debut LP Morningside, out in May 2017 via the legendary Flying Nun Records. Amelia tells us about recording the bittersweet daydream “Lucky Girl” in the dark and solitary space in which she was living at the time

Checked this one out this morning, skull crushing hard rock, what more can I say? Thanks to Fabio for this one, I'm going to listen again today, and for me that is a true rarity! Hard rock n roll lovers, ya gotta have this one....reminds maybe of Alabama Thunderpussy or Dixie Witch, stuff like dat!

Moonbow’s  War Bear is prime listening. Gritty low-end that burns your gut like a swig of good shine. Dank guitars and wicked picking that play out like a love affair between heavy metal and rock ‘n’ roll. Best of all: songs you can (and most definitely will) sing along with.  By and large the third record by frontman Matt “the Beard” Bischoff,  guitarist Davey McElfresh (Hank 3), drummer Steve Earle (Hermano), and bassist Ryan McAllister (Valley Of The Sun)  celebrates the good life, while not glossing over its seedier dark side. These tales benefit from a seamless mix of Kentucky styles, from backwater blues to southern sludge, outlaw country to Clutch-style stoner rock. It’s a defining mix that absolutely works for the album and will have you looking for a sweet spot in the sun with your favorite habit to soak it all in. ~ Billy Goate (Doomed & Stoned)

Still loving "The Blog That Celebrates Itself ( https://theblogthatcelebratesitself.bandcamp.com/), wild
shit on there, TONS of tribute albums (Fugazi, Teenage Fanclub, Echo & the Bunnymen) as well as cover projects (yesterday's "Nevermind", and now this.....a fantastic site, I'll be sharing stuff from there as I see fit, but if you love the obscure modern sounds we post here, you owe it to yourself to check this out.....plenty of little-knowns here, covering one of the top albums of the 80's, The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Psychocandy"........all the great songs are here, "In a Hole", "Inside Me""Never Understand"......we never would guessed at the time the influence this album (also My Bloody Valentine's classic) would have upon the music of today.

Skunk

A Fabio submission from the west coast of the USA, we have Skunk......really good, pure stoner rock
and nothing more......but what more do you want?

Skunk, John McKelvy (Vocals), Dmitri Mavra (Guitar), Erik Pearson (Guitar), Matt Knoth (Bass) and Jordan Ruyle (Drums), hail from Oakland, California and jam grooves heavily influenced by the likes of Buffalo, Truth & Janey, Cactus and Sir Lord Baltimore as well as all the usual 70’s suspects such as Sabbath and Zeppelin. Skunk take these influences, born from a time when the blues was gradually making a transition into something harder and heavier, and mix them in with elements of 00’s stoner/psych, creating a sound that, although not exactly ground-breaking, is nonetheless highly infectious and totally enjoyable. ~ Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist)

Seven Year Bitch

0
0
From Seattle, we have 3 albums from the cleverly-monikerd Seven Year Bitch......they were kind of
second-level imo, perhaps the equals of Jack Off Jill or Lunachicks......still decent chick/grunge/punk....the first LP, "Sick Em", is kind of rough, actually, but "Viva Zapata!" and "Gato Negro" (especially) are while slicker, more listenable. A lot of things we need MORE, not less of, and 1990's grunge rock is one of them.
