Amps ll Eleven – “Gas Ass Or Grass”

This is some dirty ass hipster-proof Cleveland rock stuff I came up on. Think… Fu Manchu with a lazy Danzig on vocals, meaning he has little range. Its pretty sick though. Get it here for free!

Grimer – “Lizard King”

So, if you’re honest about your music scene, you’ll admit that the bay area has been in a dryspell for a few years- as far as younger groups go. There was a tremendous rush of nostalgic retro 80s Harcore/Speed metal kids over the last 7 years, both worlds of which are still beating their dead horses.

So what is the next decade gonna bring? A throwback to the 90s?? I don’t think so. Because the 90’s sucked a lot of ass for music IMO.

So this is the new school. The filth, dirt, grime, groove for those kids spending the night at Alta Bates as we all apparently have due to bad acid.

Grimer is a three piece from Berkeley consisting of Drake (also of Survival) on bass/vox, Nick on guitars and Gabe on skins.
