I'm back with some new music, old rock and things that should be missed!

NEW ROCK!!


TORCHE - "HARMONICRAFT"

TORCHE - "HARMONICRAFT" is set to be released on April 24th...but I just can't stop listeing to the single Kicking!!  Super stoner/sludge/riff rock mixed in with epic vocals.  Raw but polished sound.  Think MELVINS but more bubblegum.  The band is also allowing you to download the single for free!!  Go to:

For fans of HIGH ON FIRE, SLEEP, QOTSA...

ALABAMA SHAKES - "BOYS & GIRLS"
ALABAMA SHAKES - "BOYS & GIRLS" - I just saw them on Conan the other night, so I decided to check 'em out.  They played the first song on the record Hold On.  Country/Rock/Motown sound fronted by chick who can belt it out. Conan performance:

BAND OF SKULLS - "SWEET SOUR"
BAND OF SKULLS - "SWEET SOUR" - Following on the heels of their hugely successful "BABY DARLING DOLLFACE HONEY" they're trying to hit that stride again.  While I actually like this record, I think it falls flat compared to their first, great tracks like Wanderluster and The Devil takes care of his own give it redeeming qualities.  Check out the video for The Devil Takes Care of his Own:

                                 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!!

THE STROKES - "ANGLES"
THE STROKES - "ANGLES" - This is my record of the year for 2011..love every song.  So glad they reunited for this album.  Julian's solo record had a few gems on it but nothing beats a good STROKES release.  This record was the soundtrack to my summer.  If you haven't heard it from beginning to end, your doing yourself a disservice.  The SNL performance of Under Cover of Darkness:
For fans of THE STROKES  you idiot!

CLASSIC MUST HAVE!!

TURBONEGRO - "RETOX"

TURBONEGRO - "RETOX" - The 2008 release is by far my favorite by these Norwegian deathpunkers.  Boys from Nowhere is my all time fave track but songs like Welcome to the Garbage Dump and Stroke the Shaft strike some serious living room air guitar sessions. The band just recorded an new record with new singer Tony Sylvester called "THE DUKE OF NOTHING"and it's set to release this summer.  Check out a live performance of Shake Your Shit Machine from The Snowboarding World Championships concert in Vulkan, Oslo on Feb. 11: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=5XDVLpF_6IY&list=UUUn_53Wuvjccx2eWQtmR00Q&index=7&feature=plcp
