RT VID PICKS: 5.18.12

VIDS

Here’s another bitchin’ round-up of some of the videage we stumbled over for the week ending May 18, 2012. We saw/heard some new stuff from BARONESS, HUNTRESS, and the most wicked ROYAL THUNDER. We saw some new releases from SLASH, P.O.D., and GODSMACK. And we dug up some other random stuff from OFF!, COC, KYNG, and BAND OF SKULLS. And there’s a handful more of some other random jim-dandies in here from the likes of [...]

New Album From CROOKS – “The Rain Will Come” Out Now!

RECS

One of our most favorite Austin folk/country/rock bluegrass fusion bands – CROOKS – have released a brand new LP entitled “The Rain Will Come.” And it’s awesome. The band will be celebrating the release of the new album on Saturday May 19 @ Antone’s w/ WILD CHILD and WOOD & FIRE along for the party. For more information on the event, catch this article over at Do512. For more vids and feature commentary on some [...]

Who In the Hell Is FASTER THAN HELL?

WTF?

Many thanks to the most awesome gogmagogical and The New Wave Of Thrash Metal Blog, we were recently tipped-off (via Twitter) about a crazy wicked killer new garage metal band from Kansas City – by the name of FASTER THAN HELL. Comprised of members Kriss Ward, Mike Rooney, Mike Farren, and Ryan Marchman – these guys are making that kind of high-speed heavy rawk n’ roll radness akin to bands like MOTORHEAD, ZEKE, and NEW [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: CADILLAC FLAMBE – Eli’s Porch EP

ALBUM REVIEWS

One of my most favorite SXSW 2012 lucky discoveries this year was the killer folk/blues/roots music of CADILLAC FLAMBE from Kansas City, MO. Actually, to be more precise, the band calls it “blue-eyed Americana psychedelic soul.” And that’s precisely much more accurately precise. CADILLAC FLAMBE is led by husband and wife combo Kris and Havilah Bruders. And they’ve got this killer folky honky tonkin’ duet thing going on that just wreaks of a modern day [...]

Who In the Hell Are THE FLYING EYES?

VIDS

THE FLYING EYES are a heavy, psych/blues/rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. Their name comes from a 1962 science fiction novel about giant, disembodied eyes that descend from outer space to control humanity. Since forming in 2007, THE FLYING EYES have played supporting gigs with the likes of DEAD MEADOW, THE RAVEONETTES, THE BLACK ANGELS, WITCH and Dan Auerbach. Comprised of members Adam Bufano (guitar), Mac Hewitt (bass/vocs), Will Kelly (guitar/vocs), and Elias Mays Schutzman (drums), [...]

RT VID PICKS: 5.11.12

VIDS

Here’s a round-up of some random videage wickedness we stumbled upon this week. We saw a new video release from SHADOWS FALL; some funny stuff from ZZ TOP and Troy Sanders from MASTODON; and METALLICA live doing “Don’t Tread On Me” for the first time. We’re also pretty hopped-up on VINTAGE TROUBLE and this new jam from BEELZEFUZZ. And last but certainly not least, RIP MCA. We’re gonna miss you man.

Who In the Hell is RADIO MOSCOW?

WTF?

Hailing from Ames, Iowa – RADIO MOSCOW play that killer kind of psychedelic Sabbath-style blues rock we all know and love. If we can imagine what Jimi Hendrix might sound like if he was still with us today, I’m gonna imagine it likely would’ve sounded a lot like RM. With influences heavily rooted in 60′s psychedelia and 70′s blues rock, RADIO MOSCOW is most certainly carrying the old school Rawk & Roll torch forward for [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: HORISONT – Second Assault

ALBUM REVIEWS

Not sure what the hell’s going on here. But we seem to be magnets for badder than hell stoner rock & metal records, lately. And well…that’s just damn fine. Out on Metal Blade Records on April 24, 2012 is the album ‘Second Assault’ from Swedish Seventies/stoner/blues/prog rock band HORISONT (Swedish for “horizon”). And just like just about everything else that ever comes out of Sweden, it rocks harder than a 497 ton tar bag of [...]

RT Shoots the Shit With IMMORTAL GUARDIAN!

INTERVIEWS

There’s always a silver lining. And this post is living/digital proof. Because if my shitty camera battery wouldn’t have gone dead the night these blokes tore up some SXSW sidewalk on Red River – I’d still likely be sitting here without as much of a clue as to who or what the hell an IMMORTAL GUARDIAN is. Thank you dead camera battery. Thanks to you, I was able to witness one of the wickedest outdoor [...]
