Bandcamp Recommendations 10/21/2010
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I bring you my usual present, links to some cool and free music. Well, everything presented is free but there are cases where the bands offer a name your price. If you like it, you should donate what you can, buy a physical copy of the album, attend a show or buy some other merchandise so that they can continue to bring you cool music. With that said, on with the show.
You need this one! This is some great psychedelic rock.
“The foursome of John G., A.D., Reverend Ryk, and nimble sledge-drummer G pull you through torrents to a distortion crescendo of white-water noise. Sonically dark and weighty, Black Science swell with meters and phaser-effected guitars similar to those of the band Trans Am.” — TRENT MOORMAN, The Stranger (www.thestranger.com)
If you read this site then you’ve most likely at some point visited the Exploding in Sound blog. They have a knack for putting out great comp albums. Here’s their latest entry that has a lot of great groups like Night Horse and Alberta Cross. There’s 21 tracks total.
Here’s some female fronted hard rock that’s also part punk from a band called Vagina Panther.
11 tracks of white hot guitar sludge with producer/engineer Mario “J” McNulty (Ravonettes, Anti-Flag, David Bowie) at New York City’s infamous Looking Glass Studios right before it was shuttered.
Claiming influences such as signs written in poor English, bands that think they’re Jesus and fucked up train rides, Vagina Panther makes magic out of these touchstones. Vagina Panther is Dead June on vocals, Kit Days on Guitar, Johnathan Swass on Bass and Trent Good on Drums.
Next up is Arenna. They are from Spain. They play some kick ass desert stoner rock. This is their 2007 set of demos. Despite being demos, these sound really really good.
Next up is some cool progressive hard rock/metal. The band is Sinch. This is their Project Bluebird EP. This 6 track EP runs a cool 30+ minutes.
