ALBUM REVIEW – Boss Keloid – Family The Smiling Thrush


Following up a breakthrough album, such as Boss Keloid’s last opus Melted On The Inch (Holy Roar) which finished at #4 in Ghost Cult’s Album of the Year poll in 2018, is a challenging proposition. Stray too far from the magic formula and you risk undoing that giant stride taken forwards (even without being a band that has always taken efforts to ensure development and evolution of their sound is a given); repeat the previous approach and accusations of diminishing returns, or playing it safe, abound along with an invariably inferior product.

The Apocalypse Blues Revival’s New Album Out This Week, Pre-Order and New Video News


Florida Psychedelic Blues Rock band, The Apocalypse Blues Revival will release their new self-titled album this Friday, December, 11th 2020. The album can be pre-ordered and pre-saved to stream on all DSPs. ABR will drop a new video this Friday, “Waltz Of The Antichrist/Impure” along with a live chat joined by Shannon Larkin and Shane Hall.

You can also watch our EXCLUSIVE interview with Shanon Larkin (Godsmack) below in which we discuss the album and much more. Continue reading


EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Gramma Vedetta – “Hangup My Boots”


The badasses in Gramma Vedetta are back with a new video for their song “Hangup My Boots”! They might be putting their boots away but they brought the riffs and swagger they have become known for as one of the up and coming bands in the UK right now! The video is a spazzed out acid-trip on a daydream that definitely sells the rocking song. Gramma has found fast fans in the desert scene, but also if you dig Monster Magnet, QOTSA, Cutch, COC, and the like – this band is in your wheelhouse. “Hangup My Boots” comes from their recent EP, A.C.I.D. COMPLIANT, which is available today for Bandcamp Friday in a “pay what you want” option at the link below! Check out the clip and support these guys!

ALBUM REVIEW: All Them Witches – Nothing As The Ideal


With All Them Witches recently becoming a power trio after five albums as a quartet, it’s easy to imagine that their sixth full-length would reflect a changed dynamic. But for the most part, the Nashvillians’ vision is largely undeterred on Nothing As The Ideal (New West Records). The overall runtime may be the band’s shortest to date at only forty-three minutes long, but their signature mix of Fuzz Blues, Americana, and tripped out ambiance allows for plenty of exploration. Not much has changed on the surface but there are certainly ways to show off the more straightforward approach.

Dead Witches – The Final Exorcism


If you’ve worn out your copy of Dopethrone (Rise Above) and have still got a hankering for a dirty heap of occult-themed Sabbath worship, you could do a lot worse than UK Doom outfit Dead Witches.Continue reading


Thunder Horse – Thunder Horse


Fancy that, Thunder Horse (BC/TX) just happens to be the debut LP from well, err, Thunder Horse. I’m only surprised because even the youngest bands today seem to have a trail of EPs and singles before jumping onto the hollowed full length. And as far as musical maiden journeys go, this San Antonio outfit has hit the ground running.Continue reading
