Rock And Roll Fables

Out this Friday (10.10) is the 14th (!!!) full-length from the legendary Testament through Nuclear Blast and today we have some slightly early words below why, as longtime fans, we think might be their best yet!

There’s always only been one Thrash band for us. Sure, we love Slayer and respect the hell out of Metallica. Megadeth tends to be uneven but still a’ight and while we initially got into the band during the John Bush era (We know!), we’ve grown to love all there is to the Anthrax lore. For […...

We have quite the lineup of posts coming your way soon (Today???) but we wanted to make sure we shared our most recent Salem Horror Fest surplus before all that as we talk up Thom Newell's starring Sam Huntington & with music from Underoath's Chris Dudley!

Is there a Sam Huntington (Being Human, Good Girls, Superman Returns) renaissance that we were not aware of??? We recently caught Huntington in a small role in the big, badass The Last Stop In Yuma County (From director Francis Galluppi and starring the fabulous Jim Cummings, go track it down immedi...

Okay, headed into the final hours of the spookiest edition of (Cuz October) so we have a few more chances to help you pick your next favorite! Like BEDTIMEMAGIC who we have some cool stuff planned with in the near future (More on that at a later date) but for now you can check out their Bandcamp page for ALL the things that will bring you the most sonic joy:

Okay, few more before we have our first Midnight Fest experience later this evening. Y'know we had the promo for Friendship Commanders' BEAR during the last and intended to drop our then. When that didn't happened, today was earmarked but we keep tweaking and tweaking and din't wanna rush so you'll have to wait a bit longer (Before the Bandcamp listening party on 10/8 for sure). Anyway! Magnetic Eye Records is putting out the new FC (And have lots of other stuff on their roster for you to spend some $$$ on today) next (10.10) and if you pre-order a physical copy before EOD (That's "end of day", btw) on 10/4 you'll be entered to win a test pressing of the new rekkid as well! So do the thing! Also, at O'Brien's Pubon 10/19! Tix on sale now! Blue Manic and Alreckque support. And they each have stuff you should get on BC! And finally! Buick Audra! New solo album out now! On.... yep! Bandcamp! Get that, her other records and ALL her writings. Phew! Thanks for reading our FC novella!

In theory we have a few more new posts arriving besides this one but if this is it for new stuff out of us today we can't think of a better band to focus on especially during Spooky Season! And speaking of the greatest time of the year, we've brought back "Spooky SZN Sounds" which we're opening up today by focusing on "Future Past Collapse", the new single from Ceremony Shadows which is out now! Words, links and more below:

The honor of the first “Spooky SZN Sounds” offering of the season goes to Ceremony Shadows! We figured this would be as good a place as any to highlight “Future Past Collapse”, the latest sonic concoction from the Portland-based Electro/Darkwave trio, as they’ve already managed to grace th...

Dang! Take all our money early why don'tcha! We can't refuse a good cover and anyone bold enough to take on INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart" and do it really well is a'ight in our book (We already thought Salem Wolves was more than "a'ight" for the record) Anyway! There's this plus their last epic concept record and more over on the SW Bandcamp for if so inclined...

BANDCAMP FRIDAY SURPRISE. We dropped a brand new record on y'all, "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2," available now ONLY on Bandcamp. Five songs, all covers. Husker Du, The Replacements, Jawbreaker, INXS, Tom Waits... You want 'em, we got 'em. Grab it here: https://salemwolves.bandcamp.com/album/greatest-hits-vol-2

You know the drill: The first Friday of every month, waives all fees, and 100% of what you spend goes directly to the artists. And frankly, we could really use that cash for hot dogs and stuff.

And while it's fresh in our noodle, we'd be doing you a HUGE disservice if we didn't talk up Casket Rats on this . Below is an older EP but we feel that's a nice taste of what's to come. We just reviewed lead single "Whiskey Queen" off the forthcoming record (Due 11/7 on Tee P*e Records with new single off that "Stealin'" dropping earlier this week) and, having listened to the whole thing last night, can confirm that you're gonna wanna get on board the CR train now!

There's always one that gets us started for the day and today that "one" happened to be Astral B.itch who get to share our spiel about and how we'll be sharing lots of our faves throughout the day in hopes that you'll help out some great artists. And if you don't like what we're sharing we still think you should head over to Bandcamp, hit a genre that's your jam, and try something you might not have on any other day. ANYWAY! ! They've got the TUNEZ for you to believe in! Hell, we already own the discography to date and still might buy something 🙃
