I haven’t heard the whole album yet, but if the songs, Brave Motion and Trouble are any indication of what’s lurking on their debut LP, Synesthesia, courtesy of Kill Rock Stars, then count me in. You can cop the new album on Bandcamp. Peace. Continue reading “brave motion // hands”

iggy and the stooges // burn

Without a doubt Iggy and the Stooges are the reigning grand-Godfathers of punk-rock. Since the bad boys hit the scene in 1973 it has been on and poppin’. And what better barometer for success than their out and out popularity? I&TS are more successful now in the latter part of their 40-plus career than ever before, go figure. But yet, the rational for their success is simple, the band simply kicks your teeth in and puts a shiner on your eye with the literal onslaught of their polytechnic counter culture musical fare. The music is still brash, raucous and in-your-face badass. Check out the track Burn from the bands 2013 release Ready To Die out now via Fat Possum Records.
