when a guitar driven band with a four piece drum dreams of a serious go at rock stardom they play pretty much whenever and wherever they can: dimly lit basements, skate shops and a whole lot of gritty bars and clubs are standard issue. and the end result may turn into what the canadian three-piece rockers metz have going on right now. metz marks a return to rock served up with heaping loads of distortion splattered all over walls, ceilings and eardrums wherever rock junkies gather to get their beer fueled party on. check out the song, “headache” complete with everything a rock track should be. peace. the band’s self-titled album dropped this month via sub pop records. peace.

in the rough and tumble world of today nothing says appreciation like a tribute album (hey, who doesn’t want to feel pretty and special?) so, a whole passel of folks with good intentions got together to honor the new zealand band the eversons (it was a tough job, but dammit someone had to do it). on this release you’ll hear various artists, i.e., princess chelsea, the boa constrictors, street chant and a few others do their best to do justice to the most excellent songwriting of the eversons. oh yeah, i’m talking about the ‘with a little help from my friends’ ep and it’s a free download. my favorite of the lot is the somber ode, “why can’t you just be happy for me?”. check it out the everson’s on lil’chief records. also, since we’re on the subject, the eversons debut album ‘summer feeling‘ is out now for your rapacious musical consumption. i had a listen and i must say its pretty damn good stuff. peace.

there is so much buzz circling the perth, australia band tame impala right currently you just might assume they are the hardest working worker bees in the colony. band helmsman kevin parker and company dropped the band lonerism lp a few days ago (october 9th) and so far anyone who’s listened to it are all in and giving it two thumbs up. but, with songs like, “elephant” and the phenomenally psychedelic and beautiful rock gem, “apocalypse dream,” it doesn’t surprise me at all. this release will def go down as one of the best albums of 2012, and you can cop a copy right here on itunes. peace.
