sHEAVY – Republic?

sHEAVY is the SHIT. I somehow came across this incredible advance of REPUBLIC?, the upcoming release of the band that if Ozzys wife had any balls would have headlining every Ozzfest from here on out bmfgroupie shared sHEAVY with me 2 or 3 years ago and from the first time we listened to them we loved them. Forget the generalization of Stoner Rock these guys re-define it. I can’t help but begin this rant without praising the incredible sound that Steve Hennesy emits from the mic. What we have here is an equivalent of Ozzy that can actually sing and change tones with ease that is not to any way diss the ozzy I’ve seen him lots and he can fucking sing the ozzy way. ozzy is in a category by himself..nobody will ever sound lke ozzy but..Steve Hennesy has a different TONE..i don’t know shit about playing instruments or writing music but to me.he has a different tone..all the while Steve is belting out grab-at-yer-gut sounds the band is chugging right along with him at train track feeling The whole time I’ve been typing this dribble..the first 3 songs have played all of which inspired all this dribble. The fourth song, Moments is THE PERFECT HALLOWEEN PARTY Song full of strong mixed drinks, heavy tokes and an ending that will make you literally move your body slowly towards the speakers eagerly anticipating the next note played. Song 5 is driving hard fuckin. Song six,”phone booth” is eeeeeerrriieee..dont mix that out of the final guysgreat little thingy there.song 7, œspyheeeeeeaaaaaavyyyyyyyyy perfect head song bmfgroupie said she could suck all the way through but I think she needs to listen to it more..but even for the first listen she sucked it mighty good Stingray 16follows with more of the same..not the same same but the distinct sound that follows these guys these guys pull this music from within somewhere.its too fucking trippy to not come from somewhere elseThe MAN ends this amazing CD.original strange guitar/bass sounds come through and grab you then the heavy fucking guitar/bass beat comes through and drives the song through the structure very cool .every song Steve and the band have a gem on their hands get this CD!!!..go see sHEAVY online

The Konks

Richard Hell…I really like a good crunchy sentence.

March 14, 2005

The Konks have just released a full length CD… via BOMP!. The Konks ‘play with cheap guitars and two lousy drums’ and with this arrangement they pull off a rockin’ garage band sound that may be unsurpassed by any other ‘garage type’ band out there today. The gem of this disc though for me is the last song which is a cover song. “Let the music do the talkin'” is credited to “Aerosmith” but is actually a Joe Perry penned song that he wrote and recorded on a solo album when Aerosmith was broken up and then re-recorded with Aerosmith on the “Done with Mirrors” LP that was released right before “Permanant Vacation”. Enough about Aerosmith though.the Konks make this song their own and they definatley own it after just one listen.

This is music you feel when you listen to it. Go get a copy of this CD, grab yerself a Jack & Coke, crank it up to 11. This is great music.

Flipper – “Fucked Up Once Again”

What good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn bimbos are going to rule against it? – Evel Knievel

Fucked up once again by Flipper

Lyrics:

Oh oh oh fucked up once again

No more rivers of blood
Taking over my dream of love
Feel a bit of poetry in my life
But it all could change in just one night

fucked up once again

Reoccuring nightmares disturb
Everyone who let’s them occur
The very same is true in life
So shed a little light to make it all right

Oh oh oh fucked up once again

Seems some lessons are not learned
Repeat the course or you’ll return
Back to the part that was left out
Pieces of the part thrown all about

fucked up once again

Looks messed up once more again
Can’t cover it up won’t pretend
Have to return to a new start
Pick another direction
Now comes the hard part

fucked up once again

Fucked up never again

(Check out BMF’s review of “American Grafishy”)

Duane Peters has a movie about his bad self…

We can make weed disappear right before your eyes.

July 19, 2003

Duane Peters has a movie about his bad self…… Check out the trailer to the upcoming DVD release of “Who Cares…The Duane Peters Story” which is due out by the end of this summer. DUANE PETERS is a skateboarder with serious cred. He’s generally acknowledged as the guy who consumated the union of punk rock and skateboarding, taking it from a la-la cruise by nerdy longhairs whose music of choice was the Eagles into the full-blown tough guy hardcore punk scene it is today. Here is a cool tribute to his skateboarding ability here. Check out some way cool downloads of The Hunns here.

But skating is just part of the fun for Duane, his other avocation is punk rock; and he’s pretty good at that too. Duane is the leader of the infamous U.S. BOMBS, and since 2000 he has started fronting The HUNNS. The HUNNS sound is raw, chainsaw, based on a classic formula : two Les Pauls, drums and bass. Duane, of course, sounds like Duane, but that’s the main similarity with the Bombs : the HUNNS delivery is much more street American rock’n’roll. Now with the addition of ex-Nashville Pussy COREY PARKS on bass, The HUNNS have become one of the best punk band playing anywhere in the world today.

The U.S. Bombs re-release of “Put Strength in the Final Blow” which was originally released in 94′ as a vinyl only album, now on CD with all tracks remixed by Duane and now features 4 tracks from the double 7inch of which only 500 copies were originally pressed. The whole thing has been remastered and includes liner notes from Duane himself. Go here to read more and download Bubble Gum from the “Put Strength in the Final Blow” CD.
