BLESSURE GRAVE -I LISTEN TO THIS BAND MORE THAN ANY OTHER RIGHT NOW. REALLY DARK, TENSE, DRIVING AND CATCHY SONGS PLAYED BY SOME REALLY RAD KIDS IN SAN DIEGO, CA. THEY HAVE LIKE A HUNDRED RELEASES AVAILABLE OR COMING SOON. I WAS GOING TO DO SOME SUGGESTED LISTENING KIND OF THING, BUT IT'S ALL RECOMMENDED. CHECK OUT THEIR MYSPACE FOR ALL THE INFO (MYSPACE.COM/BLESSUREGRAVESD)
BAD LIFE - I JUST WENT TO MIDDLEPORT, OH TO VISIT SOME FRIENDS WHO WERE PASSING THROUGH FROM BROOKLYN. ON MY WAY DOWN (WHEN I WAS IN A PARTICULARLY DESOLATE, CREEPY PLACE) I LISTENED TO THE 5 TRACKS THAT BAD LIFE SENT ME. THE DRIVE WENT FROM BORING TO FUCKING TERRIFYING WITHIN SECONDS OF THEIR SONG "DIRTY JEANS" BEGINNING. THIS BAND IS GOING TO BE GOING PLACES AND ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME STUFF AVAILABLE TO PICK UP SOON SO STAY TUNED (MYSPACE.COM/BADLIFEEXISTS)
FOREST SWORDS - THIS IS SOME ONE-MAN DUB VIBE SHIT THAT IS TOTALLY CHAIN. DUDE IS FROM ENGLAND AND HAS A COUPLE RELEASES AVAILABLE BUT MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS THE "GLORY GONGS" CASSETTE RELEASED BY WOVEN TONES FROM AUSTIN, TX. A-SIDE IS "GLORY GONGS" WHICH IS A TOTALLY HUGE AND HAUNTING PIECE WITH SOME REALLY CATCHY GUITAR WORK AND VOCAL SAMPLES. THE B-SIDE IS A COVER OF AALIYAH'S(RIP) "IF YOUR GIRL ONLY KNEW". IT'S A REALLY GREAT RE-WORKING OF WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A TOTAL CLASSIC. BOTH CASSETTES HE HAS RELEASED ARE ABOUT TO BE MADE AVAILABLE ON ONE 12" RECORD BY OLDE ENGLISH SPELLING BEE AND THAT IS GOING TO BE STUPID TO SLEEP ON.
