If nothing else, All this time.

With all the "extra" time sitting around it's a good time to discover some new music and maybe buy a CD, download or whatever.

So, you all have any new bands to recommend or older ones you've just found and want to get the word out on?

Amyl and the Sniffers - Aussie punk/ pub rock that sounds (to me) like a stripped down AC/DC with a chick singer (and some really bad haircuts).

Menzingers - been around for awhile but I just found them. Sounds like 90s alternative to me. Out of the Scranton area of PA and worth a listen.

Bad Cop/ Bad Cop - An all chick punk rock band with a feminist propensity and a gravel voiced lead singer. I dig 'em.

Propagandhi - not new to me and I've yapped on about them but the best band playing music today. Far left lyrics but freakin' awesome.

Another one I constantly yap on about endlessly is Trampled by Turtles. - Bluegrass but insane how great these guys are.

What 'cha got?

 

Deadstring Brothers. Sao Paulo and the song Rollin Blues live on KEXP

 

Only station I listen to is our local public radio station which is pretty damn good. Some of the bands I've gleaned recently (old and new):

Villa Mure
Twin Sister Radio
The Modern Lovers
Truckfighters
Sebadoh
Dirty Rugs
C2 & The Brothers Reed

 

Nothing new, but last night I went on a rampage with The Prodigy and Crystal Method.

 

Rag'n'Bone Man, blues/soul singer.

 

KEXP and the Tiny Desk series have turned me onto a bunch of great acts.

Love Propagandhi... Dislocated my knee at a Guttermouth show once.

Truckfighters - Swedish repetitive riff rock. Recently got to see them on their last pre-pandemic tour. Worth the risk.

All Them Witches - Cannot say enough good things about these guys. They are like if classic rock had never left us for the glam metal 80s with some jam band grungy metalesque vibes thrown in.

Desert Sessions 11 & 12 - Textured and diverse, yet it can be listened to all the way through.

Sturgill Simpson’s Sound and Fury - First caught wind of him after his In Bloom cover but the Netflix special along with the traditional honky tonk p/funk aesthetic are executed so well. Also braved his recent pre-pandemic show. Which while worth the risk, I do admit my clothes and shoes stayed on the back porch for a week afterwards.

Valley of the Sun - They opened for the Truckfighters and the singer’s vocals are a Temple of the Dog era kind of soothing.

 

CD?

 

Glim Spanky
Nora en Pure

 

8 track.

 

Marcus king goodbye Carolina

 

Been listening to some Greta Von Fleet which is very Zeppelinish to me.

Kyuss for the older, heavy desert stoner sound out in the garage. The whole Welcome to Sky Valley flows really well.

 

TCM is a daily binge for me already with Vegas, Tweekend and Legion of Boom... Drive is my workout/cycling music.

 

Tyler Childers, Billy Strings, and Mandolin Orange have been on my list lately

 

I'm listening to loud stuff lately. While surfing through classic Boston bands, I came across The Last Rat by The Neighborhoods. It's a live set from the last night in 1992 that The Rat in Kenmore Square was open, with special guest appearance by Brad Whitford of Aerosmith. Worth a listen.

 

Pink Floyd Sheep

 

Hi Jivers, they do bluesy stuff mostly, a trio of guys with a woman singer with a smokey voice I love and the guitarist is fucking awesome. I posted a few of their videos in the Utube thread, quite a while ago now.

 

The Venomous Pinks!! All chic 3 piece punk band from Arizona.

 

I ran across this band called Belmont that I’m digging.

 

That new Public Enemy tho. Born Woke is hard af. Man I dunno how those guys keep the sound.
