under rated bands
Since being glued to my desk as of late. working furiously on shows and trying to curb habits due to a past stint in the hospital. So with this new found time i have been going back down memory lane. i have been thinking about the past. how good music was, the shows, the imagination my friends had when they were playing music. this is a time and a sound i forgot and is coming back slowly in this here underground scene. this is what i am digging on. i sincerely go check these bands out if you don't know who they are.
lickgoldensky -"s/t" -This Philadelphia band that has now a member of gods and queens in it and one of the most strangest vocalist you'll ever meet.they played with soilent green on a tour and alienated 400 fans by showing the then-slight minded metal community a thing or 2. this is a definitely a quality release that never got the proper tour as they broke up after the cd came out.and awesome packaging by ryan patterson to boot.think rollins band joined talking heads.
knut.-"Bastardiser/Challenger"- i always trusted any country overseas for great bands. this is one of them. this band blew my mind and along with the whole snuff records roster. but these guys stood out . finally when "Bastardiser" got re-released by HH in 1999-2001 i listened to this band non stop.I wished and wished they would come to the U.S. and they did!I was lucky enough to book them at cbgb in 2001 while they were on tour with Isis. they really killed it . too bad no one really cared for them.
Gospel " the moon is a dead planet" thank god this band is reforming. i always dug this band and what they did live. the split with kodan armada was just a precursor to their progression on TMIADP. their style was really different than what long island/brooklyn was producing at the time. the music may trail on into free form acid jazz at some times. but it makes you follow along. but the songs are structured then you think. they will hopefully have a new release in 2010
Premonitions of War " Left in Kowloon" . even though graced by a bulldog on the back of their cd. this band was really ahead of their times with their brand of metal. neurosis meets his hero of gone/from ashes rise The sing totally had. one of the best metal voices out there along with Mike Fisketti formerly of Martyr AD. punishing and relentless attack of sonic punishment. i heard the did a reunion show recently.
