The Might Could - The Might Could (2011)
The Might Could is a heavy as hell new band and this is their debut album.It's the collaboration of four great guys: Erik Larson(Parasytic, Hail!Hornet, ex-Alabama Thunderpussy),Ryan Wolfe (formerly of Facedowninshit),TJ Childers (Inter Arma) and Rob Gouldman (Lord).Kick-ass heavy rock'n'roll punch you in the face and bourbon-fueled riffs makes you wanna drink your weight in whiskey.With Erik in lead vocals(this guy should have taken up the vocals in Alabama Thunderpussy too),the excellent riffs,the frenzy Dixie-driven drumming and the thick bass,by the end of the album you surely get drunk only by the music. In my opinion, it's a great fill in the gap which Alabama Thunderpussy has left behind. Cheers!
Enjoy!

Thorun - Thorun EP (2010)
Rising from South Wales UK,Thorun is an istrumental stoner/doom band and this EP is their first release.Great heavy guitar and bass tones,groovy drumming and fuzzy riffs packaged in 5 killer tracks. Excellent first work from these guys which surely opens our appetite for expecting more greater things to come from them. Worth listening from all stoner/doom fans out there. Cheers!
Enjoy!

Double Space - The Rock/Bent 12'' (2010)
Double Space is a destructive,furious,killer sludge trio from Denmark. Two guitarists and one drummer combine sludge,stoner and noise into it's most efficient form that blasts your ears and brain. Two tracks are enough for a massive earthquake that it will take place in your room in front of your player. That's something I suppose...

Blackbird Raum
Blackbird Raum is a local band from Santa Cruz,California and their kind of music is a mixture of country,cajun,folk and punk with many gypsy elements. They're actually street performers and the instruments used for their music are banjo,accordion,washtub bass,washboard,saw,mandolin and of course scream,they actually scream until they die..Their lyrics are focused on social issues from war to ecology and back. For my musical taste they're really awesome and they create something unique,like Nausea decides to play a country mixture. Well,give them a try(especially their 2 last albums) and I think you all will find something to like in their music.

Black Pistol Fire - Black Pistol Fire (2011)
Black Pistol Fire are a high energetic rock'n'roll trio based out of Austin,Texas(originally they're from Toronto,Canada). This is their debut album,a great mix of southern rock and garage punk which is going to remind you Creedence Clearwater Revival,The Black Keys and a bit of Clutch. 13-pieces of bluesy rock,mid-tempo jams,punk rock parts and southern riffs keep the pistol's fire alive.Cheers!
Enjoy!

Left Lane Cruiser
These guys are really awesome. Music full of energy,fuck-off-I-wanna-drink&dance attitude and this US tornad(u)o take us for swimming in a ragging river full of bourbon. Well,these mates giving the Blues a different perception,a punk'n'roll injection straight in the heart. Just grab some booze,get your boots,put these guys on and enjoy their high-voltage nasty blues...Cheers!

Mugstar
Mugstar is one of the most remarkable and astonishing space/kraut rock bans of our era. Formed in Liverpool,England and since then they released a bunch of 7''s,EPs and three full albums. They play an excellent piece of psych/space rock flirting with bands as early Floyd,Hawkwind,Neu!,Spacemen 3,Loop and Wooden Shjips. Their music is sometimes druggy,mesmerizing and sometimes heavy,intense,majestic.They transfer you to a trance state where the dreams and the visions become one with reality.They hypnotize you in a alternate kraut universe where everything can happen.For me they are in the table's head of modern space-rockers like Gnod,White Hills,Bardo Pond,Sleepy Sun,Titan and 3 Leafs.
I managed,except from the 3 albums,to find one 7''(Bethany Heart Star),the split with Mudhoney and their Peel Session.So,if anyone have anything from their other EPs I would be grateful to share it with me.

Echoes Of Yul
Coming from Poland,Echoes of Yul is a duo who really likes slow motion tunes. It's quite hard to describe their music. Maybe it's like post metal,but there are a few doom riffs.Maybe it's drone.Maybe it's post rock. Maybe it's all of them or maybe nothing. The only thing I'm sure it's that I enjoyed their music and I'm stuck at it. I can't include them into labels and stuff. They're kind of reminding me a little bit of Earth and Godflesh. Just check them out,they are at least interesting and I believe you'll go through them again and again. They also released a split with Guantanamo Party Program and Sun For Miles,which consists of well-structured and good tracks but I prefer their album.Enjoy the darkness.
Eight Hands For Kali
From the ashes of Great Coven, Eight Hands for Kali came to this world to spread their monolithic toxins. They take us to a trip to an opium-addict's mind. They lead us to psych mindfucking tidal waves. As you are listening to their music, you feel the air filled up with smoke and the things around you to freak out.Droney sounds,crushing riffs and the guidance of Kālī are all you need. EHFK released one EP and a full-length,which actually is a 55-min track(you can hear Brant Bjork in it) before they split up. Fans of Sleep and YOB must dig this up!
Savage Republic
"Savage Republic was a seminal Los Angeles Tribal-Industrial-Art-Punk band from the 1980s, currently reformed and active with a different line-up. They were influenced by a diverse array of music, including Glenn Branca, Can, DNA, Amon Duul, PiL, The Pop Group, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Ventures and Flipper, as well as a variety of ethnic music from around the world. Their sound and aesthetic approach resonated alongside contemporaries such as Einsturzende Neubauten,Sonic Youth and the Butthole Surfers.
In 2005 Savage Republic reformed, albeit without “leader” Bruce Licher, touring the U.S. west coast. The band now consists of post-1983 “core” members Greg Grunke, Thom Fuhrmann and Ethan Port, as well as drummer Sterling Fox (who performed in several post-Savage Republic projects with this trio). The massive Glenn Branca-inspired guitar shimmering still remains.“1938”, their first studio album in nearly two decades, was released on Neurot Recordings in October 2007."
