Just a few day ago Alice In Chains released a new lyric video for their song “Stone” and now the band has returned with their second consecutive music video in promotion of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. Both of the singles from Alice In Chains‘ new record have completely blown me away and I am beyond stoked for the new album.
The band’s first music video was a very Space Odyssey-inspired piece about plants getting stoned. The second video is about people actually becoming stone. Some folks aren’t digging this video, but I really dig it. Even if you don’t like the video, the fucking song rules. Continue reading »
Remember that 
My homies in Captain Overboard–Radio Earth! have released their latest offering Winter for free download and you all need to go check it out right now. I have been friends with and following these guys for a long time now and I have loved watching them mature and form themselves into a killer band. If you’re new to them, I can best describe their music as a sludgy mix of grunge and metal. Their songs are very catchy and this is especially the case for their latest album Winter. 
Well, well, well. This is pretty great. I have expressed my undying love for Layne Staley-era Alice In Chains before but I don’t think I ever expressed me feelings about the last record, and William DuVall’s vocal debut, Black Gives Way To Blue. When it was first released, I didn’t listen to it. I couldn’t. Layne Staley was one of the greatest vocalists of all time and seeing Alice In Chains push on just didn’t settle right with me. I finally did listen to Black Gives Way To Blue and it’s not bad. Not bad at all, actually. William DuVall has an amazing voice and he is clearly influenced by Layne’s vocal styling.
If any of you listened to rock radio in the early 2000s then you probably (at some point) heard Smile Empty Soul‘s hit single “Bottom Of A Bottle.” Smile Empty Soul is a band that I thought long gone. I haven’t heard anything about the band since, like, 2004. Well, apparently they are still going strong and they released a new album back in May on eOne Music. That’s not the point of this post, however because I care nothing about this band. The point of this post is that Smile Empty Soul along with HURT have recorded a cover of the Alice In Chains classic “No Excuses.” 
It no secret that Lil Wayne has draw inspiration from the legendary grunge band Nirvana. Sure, Wayne‘s music and Nirvana aren’t even on the same end of the spectrum, but Wayne has expressed his love of Nirvana in numerous interviews including one with Nardwaur (view after the jump) and one with MTV’s Sway which you can see 
Remember back when 
Filthy sludge coupled with vicious hardcore punk and atmospheric blues. That is the best way I can describe Dickkicker, a band based out of Tallahassee, Florida. I mean, they have a crushing, sludgy vibe to them, but the aggressive attitude and pissed off nature they have about them is something not usually seen in sludge. It’s a oddly timed hardcore punk which is accented with dark, melancholic blues sections. It’s strange but I dig it. You can check out three new tracks from the bands recently released EP 3 Songs and download the album in the widget below. You can also follow the band on
