Rückwater Bonehead EP Review

Hailing from Scandanvia, Rückwater's debut EP, Bonehead, is a fantastic stoner rock EP, similar to Graveyard, but with some neopsychedelic vibes.
The album kicks off with the awesome, heavy, powerful Once More With Feeling, it's pure old school hard rock. Zeppelin like vocals,
and grooves. The riff is so fucking massive and intense. No Gain has an almost a trippy punk/grunge rock vibe, fast paced, and frantic.
Fantastic vocals, and frantic. Labrynth has a pure blues vibe. Clean, warm sounding guitars start it off. Almost an Alice In Chains vibe.
It's definitely a unqiue, good mix. Great lyrics, great mood. Not one song sounds the same on this record, and it still ties
in and works so well. It picks up in the middle with a Soundgarden like riff, and get nice and heavy and upbeat, and slows down for a nice, light, fluffy euphoric cloud like outro. the riffs on
this record are fucking awesome. Super Frustration is an intense, short burst of literally pure aggression, kind of like
punk rock Metallica. It's great, though, it only lasts 1:16, but it definitely hits you like a brick to the head. Bonehead starts off with a groovy distorted bass,
and a great late 70s hard rock vibe returns, and its a great sleazy rock n' roll song, and a fantastic guitar solo with wah. Flame Doesn't Cast A Shadow is pure neopsychedelia,
and slightly proggy. The quality of the musicianship and songwriting in the band are absolutely exceptional, and extroadinary. Especially for a brand new band. 
To make all 6 of these great tracks completely in polar opposite styles, and flow so great is insane. The band literally has eclectic tastes, and makes them all work
in a great way. The last half of Flame Doesn't Cast A Shadow is a nice, mellow, hypnotic, euphoric outro. This is one of the best, and most talented new bands I have heard
in a really long time. Inventive, and exploritory.

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilities-Live At The Rifle EP

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilites are a band that formed out of the ashes of the glam punk rock n roll band, The Smokin' Prophets. Marty and the band split, due to creative differences. Marty, the frontman, and lead guitarist of this three piece Punk Rock N' Roll band are phenomenal. The EP is Live, at The Rifle, at their first gig. It's four new tracks, which are in a different direction than the Prophets, but still retains the spirit. It's a bit darker, and real, on songs like Am I A Ghost, sings of being an outcast. It sounds more mature than the prophets, less glammy. They are a powerhouse live band, raw, and real. Marty has really come a long way, from being Lead Guitarist/songwriter in Hollywood Trash, to being a great frontman. No ego, and a serious, talented, amazing musician, singer, and frontman. His voice is like a raspy, pissed off Johnny Thunders, and a hint of Kurt Cobain. This band, for this being their first live gig, are tight as hell. The so

Interview with Nadir D'Priest lead singer for London

Nadir D'Priest is the lead singer of Legendary LA glam band London, who founder Lizzie Grey even nicknamed the 'training camp for future rockstars’  in Decline Of Western Civilization part two. A set of extraordinary heavy metal god like pipes as heard on songs such as Werewolves In London and Russian Winter, London has regrouped in 2019 with a brand new album Call That Girl. I sat down with D”Priest and discussed the beginning of his tenure in the band and Londons future. When did you decide you wanted to sing in a rock n roll band? When I was a little kid I was a drummer so I basically started as a drummer and moved onto singing early in life. Who were you early influences? Black sabbath Led Zeppelin Three Dog Night YES Dio 1st album Deep Purple James Brown Sinatra and many more. Tell me about your early groups and early experiences. Bands I’ve been in? I started in a band called assassin in Pasadena California which moved me on to a couple other little local ba

Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats-The Night Creeper review

The Night Creeper, by Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats, is their third record, and it shows them progressing. And its fucking  fantastic. It has the riffs and vibes of Black Sabbath, with haunting vocals, and a sense of melody that most  Stoner Doom Metal bands lack. There are hooks, and dark vibes. It's incindiary. And if anybody doubts their legitimacy, they opened  for Black Sabbath on the UK leg of their last tour, which in Doom, that's a hell of a endorsement. They don't copy Sabbath,  they put their own dark, melodic spin on the genre. This record is absolutely phenomenal, dark, abysmal, eerie, and filled with incredible freakin riffs. With lyrics that are reminscent of old school b movie horror films, they create an atmosphere that literally makes you feel like you  are walking down a dark alley in the cold English rain. With songs like Waiting For Blood, Pusher Man, and the title track,   slow, sludgeing Sabbath-esgue riffs, Iron Maiden like guitar harmonies, a
