I don't know anything about this band, but in light of what's going on in our country and in England this sound struck a chord in me, no pun intended. https://youtu.be/mRkUt9VnaR0
Saturday Afternoon Music- Idles
Sunday Afternoon Music-Clutch
Clutch is a band I've followed since their first album Transnational Speedway League way back in 1993. They've transformed along the way almost to a bad you wouldn't recognize as putting out TSL. It is one of those bands you hear pretty regularly and maybe you don't know who they are. I mean compare this:... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Music-Truckfighters
Oh, you like heavy grooves, cymbal punctuated guitars, and long tracks? You're in the right place. One of my preferred bands for road music, Truckfighters hails from Örebro, Sweden. I first came across them in Pandora like a lot of music I find. I know that's not the cool music streaming service nowadays but back... Continue Reading →
Sunday Afternoon Music-The Sword
I might've posted about the Sword before. I went to a show a few years ago and they opened but due to unforeseen circumstances I missed most of their set, getting to my Honda Center seat as they were wrapping up their last song. Intrigued, I searched them out on the series of tubes known... Continue Reading →
Saturday Morning Music-Red Fang
I've posted Red Fang in the SMM before, but they're so good they deserve another post. Coming out of Portland with what I would call straight up heavy metal, their music videos are so good I have to listen to them in the background just to hear the song. They range from straight up hilarious... Continue Reading →
Sunday Afternoon Music-Documentary
Little different music post today. A documentary about Desert Rock. It's kind of long, but it's a good watch. Talks about the origins of desert rock, how the sound developed. Apparently in the 70's in Palm Springs they banned rock shows. Well, as we all know, you can't stop rock. If the Soviets got rock... Continue Reading →
Saturday Afternoon Music-Fu Manchu
I first heard Fu Manchu in 1998 on some KROQ (RIP) "new music" sample CD. I don't even know where it came from, it's been too long. The album had Evil Eye on it and I knew "oh my god these guys are amazing." Later I learned Evil Eye was on their 4th album. Fourth?... Continue Reading →
Sunday Afternoon Music-Beck
I am a casual follower of Beck and have been since Loser came out in '93. I know the whole story about how Beck didn't think the song was that good. For me, it was very different to what else we were listening to at the time. Sunday evenings are my time to chill out... Continue Reading →
Saturday Morning Music-Left Behind
I don't know a lot about this band, but I was poking around on some sites to find some new music and this particular track came up. The video for Waiting For The End sold me on it. I love bands that don't take themselves too seriously. Granted, this song was probably written long before... Continue Reading →
