The Winery Dogs-IIIThree Dog Music Label 2023Ruben Mosqueda Back in 2012 when The Winery Dogs formed, they were written off as a one-time, one and done project. We’d seen many bands put together only to issue an album, maybe two if we were lucky and they’d disband. Eleven years later, The Winery Dogs have released […]
Motörhead-Bad MagicSilver Lining Music 2023Ruben Mosqueda Motörhead were one of the bands that got accused of issuing the same album over and over again. Others that come to mind are The Ramones and AC/DC — so Motörhead are in good company I think. By 2015 frontman Lemmy Kilmister had been plagued with health issues leading […]
The Leeds based band Klammer was formed in 2014 by British producer and sound engineer Steve Whitfield (The Cure, The Mission), Paul “Poss” Strickland, Bruno Almeida, and Mike Addy. They have been described as the lovechild of XTC and Gang of Four, with elements of goth rock, punk, darkwave, and post-punk. Most importantly though, they […]
A Kittenhead Exclusive By: Matthew MacDermant Recently, I had a conversation with Kivi from Kittenhead; a raw lo-fi cadre of badass rockers dropping in with one brilliant track after another about things that matter. Fresh off their set at Pride Festival, where the band received a rousing response, Kivi was very enthusiastic about Kittenhead’s present […]
Cover to Cover: From Cover Band to the Cover of A Magazine By: Matthew MacDermant Red Reign formed in the Summer of 2013 when Carlton “Bubba” McMichael and Sammy Lee decided once and for all to put down the songs of past greats and become great in their own right. The two made the […]
ThrillKiller: San Francisco Moto By: Matthew MacDermant KJAG Radio Thrillkiller is a band which proves that time, at least in the world of music, does not go in a straight line. Blending elements from synthwave, funk, power metal, glam metal, pop, and a range of rock styles; Thrillkiller is both the past and future of […]
Otep: Kult 45 A Review By: Matthew MacDermant Otep’s eighth studio album, “Kult 45” is pure kickass political protest metal at it’s finest. Otep Shamaya, Justin Kier, Drewski Barnes, and Aristotle set out to self-produce a piece that would get the band back to its roots, while also delivering a wake-up call and rallying cry […]
Klammer – You Have Been Processed A Review By: Matthew MacDermant The Leeds based band Klammer was formed in 2014 by British producer and sound engineer Steve Whitfield (The Cure, The Mission), Paul “Poss” Strickland, Bruno Almeida, and Mike Addy. They have been described as the lovechild of XTC and Gang of Four, with elements […]
Integrity & Krieg A Review By: Matthew MacDermant Integrity and Krieg, pioneers and trailblazers of metal, together for a split. This is incredible, if altogether apocalyptic news. Respectively leading the way in disturbing, haunting, raucous, and chaotic sounds in their own right, this collaboration is a stroke of evil genius. Integrity, formed in Cleveland back […]
Every Hour Kills – Fragile Machine A Review By: Matthew MacDermant Futuristic progressive metal just hit the streets. Every Hour Kills released “Fragile Machine,” a ten-track piece, split 50/50, each song playing a lyric and instrumental version. This is a concept album set in a time after the technological singularity. Organic human life has ceased […]
