SWEET COBRA – EARTH (Dark Operative – 2015) I still don’t know what to call these guys, and that’s okay, if not preferable. These guys came to me at a time when I needed respite from the heavy realities of life, but I couldn’t stomach anything remotely ‘happy’ sounding. It was sincere and just positive […]

OBLIVIONIZED – LIFE IS A STRUGGLE, GIVE UP (Secret Law Records – 2015) I’m a big fan of power-trios, especially ones as vicious as this. Drums, guitar and vocals.

Right up there with The Dillinger Escape Plan, these guys split off after this swan song to form bands including Russian Circles, Minus the Bear, These Arms are Snakes, Narrows, and most recently Sumac. Never lacking complexity, […]

Orgone – The Goliath Self released – 2007 Remember MySpace? Before it’s eventual end, there was an explosion of bands like Job For A Cowboy, but buried deep in all of that noise I found this band. Overly ambitious and pretentious. I was sold. I ordered the CD directly from them via direct message, delivered […]
