Black Tusk

Black Tusk- “Red Eyes Black Skies”

Black Tusk is Savannah GA swamp metal. Sludgy stoner hardcore would be a good classification. Not downtempo however, this is pretty raging. Out now on Relapse Records.

Diamond Head for Bread

Diamond Head – “Streets Of Gold”

Diamond Head. Everyone can say “they influenced so and so, who influenced so and so, etc.” Diamond Head was like a turning point in the history of heavy. In the chain-link of influence-to-influence, their brand of heavy was only a Megadeth away from an entire decade worth of Metalheads. Their sphere of influence as an English band affected millions of American Metalheads and kickstarted millions more spheres of influence. This is not imperialism. This is Diamond Head.

The Glitch Mob- “Drive It Like You Stole It”

Slap-of-the-week worthy. Some explosive-ass NUT-ON-THE-SPEAKER bass jams but w/o some weakass rapper trying to sprinkle his egotism over it. The Glitch Mob = collective of glitch pioneers = proverbial knobtweakers = dirty bass architects.  Download “Drive It Like You Stole It” here for free.

I Never Had 5 On It

Luniz- “Operation Stackola”

The Luniz. “I got five on it” thumping in a cd player at eleven years old. Well, nine years later, this album is still better than most synthetically autotuned garbage polluting clubs across america. We’ve entered an era of bug-eyed lil wayne wannabes and over-intellectual lyricists. Download it here for free. Seriously.
