Prophets Of Addiction Nothing But The Truth Album Review

Prophets Of Addictions’ latest Nothing But The Truth is a fantastic, stripped down acoustic record and it is quite amazing and moving at times. Taking their glam punk sleaze hybrid down to their raw bare bones.

The American Dream opens the album perfectly. Its subtle and sublime, using lines like 'seasons may change but I'll stay the same’ it's a statement thats powerful and its a truly good song.Lesli has that folky wine to his voice that i never really caught until hearing this record. Its really something special here and it touches your soul.

Altar of Altercation is a twisted beautiful song about living in a rough town. The thing about this record, as they are a punky glammy band, but this record has all the elements of a good folk album. Storytelling songs with wonderful, simple melodies. Holy shit.

Babylon Boulevard is a song they have an electric version of, but this version cuts you like a knife and leaves you bleeding in the gutter in the moonlight. Its so intense but subtle. Absolutely beautiful.

Talkin is a song about a person you cannot please. This one gives off a rolling stones vibe. Man, these guys are absolutely incredible. The simplicity of it but the textures are just perfectly placed where they need to and it isn't forced, it just flows naturally like a river. The album flows to the very fun song Last Of The Word, a great relatable catchy tune with a fun rhythm and element to it. Spare The Bullets is an empowering, dark track about building yourself back up from ground zero with a vengeance. Killer lyrics and amazing music.

Hollywood is a love song about L.A. the city of angels hanging with the demons too. Great warm melody. Atmosphere is a beautiful song about longing for some one who you cant find anymore 9and just wanna forget but your heartaches. The emotion is Lesli's voice is so raw it gives you chills. Heart Of Mine is another happy sounding song with some pretty dark lyrics. I love the dynamic and its real. The album ends with Return The Smile which is about rising from the ashes and its a great closer. This whole record is honestly astonishing. For hard rock fans and Americana fans alike. Beautiful record.

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?

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

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
