Black Pussy - Magic Mustache

2015
Catchy stoner rock falling in between Queens of the Stone Age and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, but a lot closer to QOTSA. After the first song or two this just gets boring.

The Holydrug Couple - Moonlust

2015
Psychedelic pop songs that are keyboard driven, with blips and bleeps. The vocals are airy but overall this stuff has a cheery uplifting electronic vibe.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress

2015
Basically ambient background music that ebbs and flows and gets heavy and is good. Not great. You can call it Post Rock.

Enforcer - From Beyond

2015
Retro early 80's NWOBHM/Speed Metal drawing from Metal that happen just before Thrash, you might recognize some of these sounds that showed up on Kill 'Em All.

Crobot - Something Supernatural


2015
Good old fashion retro rockin' out. Like Wolfmother, Soundgarden...or a much heavier Black Crowes. There's a funky soul underlying all the hard rock. These guys are really good, ready for the masses. Maybe a little to polished for my taste.

Cherubs - 2 Ynfynyty

2015
Gut punch bottom dragging noise heaviness. Crushing blocks of cement on your chest while you drown.

Seremonia - Kristalliarkki

2015
Retro garagey occultish psych freak out from Finland.
