For whatever reason, sardo's thread just sort of put me on a metal kick the last few days.

You guys are seriously fucking up by not peeping that Koda Sequoia album.

I listened toit when you poastedit.

Seemed solid, but i wasn't in the mood for it then. I listened to the whole, it just didn't strike me.

I am incredibly fond of it myself. :0 They are basically unknown in our area too even though they are local. I'm gonna try to book shows with them when I return.

I will try it again at some later date, fosho.

I am a fan of their riffing and tone, as well as Brann's drumming.

Good band.

^ Like Slowdive, crossed with Depeche Mode?

Pretty swell.

Circa Survive. good shit

Metallurgy:

I am fairly stoked for that ATG

This. Is a fucking good song.

Rory is a boss.

I always liked this one:


(partly because of the opening guitar sound, partly because of the drummin', and partly because of the boss solos wif the pinch harmonics and interesting note choices later in the thing)

Foar me, i have been enjoying this rekkid a fair bit more than i expected to.

Is it just me, or does something abut the new Shellac feel a bit less like Shellac and a bit more like Future Of The Left?



I don't know exactly what it is about it, because it does indeed have quite a bit of very Shellac-yness to its sound.

And indeed, if FOTL has anything, it is certainly, a bit of Albini-fronted-band influences. But i felt that they went somewhere else with the sound. And now i feel a bit like Albini himself has decided to visit that particular place as well?

Have to hear the rest of the rekkid i think.

Okay, I can hear where you're coming from here. I hear it primarily in the lyrics/vocals/delivery. Granted Albini et al are pretty prominent influences within FotL, but I'm definitely hearing it as well. I'm also hearing Steve's Billy Gibbons influence in the guitaring a bit.

Not that it's necessarily bad- I'm still digging the material. Though I'm still unlikely to see Shellac for twelve dollars in a shitty punk rawk dive bar in Buffalo like I did Future Of The Left. Which is unfortunate.

Of course I need to hear the rest of it- but I was planning on that anyhow.

Whores. Probably the best current band I've heard. Music like it used to be, when men were men, fuzz was fuzz and riffs were Riffs.
