Catchy as all get-out, that's what this tune is. Great video too. And apparently a model for peace in the world - it's 2 guys, an Arab and a Jew. Together they'll make you dance. When was the last time anything about the middle east made ya dance?

Label: Beard Of Stars RecordsWebsite

Another band I don't know anything about. Found them following a link off of the Monster Magnet site. Italian doom rock, remixed to get a bit of a Latin feel (?). Anyway, according to some of what I read, they're a mix of Pink Floyd and Neurosis (another band I know nothing about). So bust out yer dancing shoes and bang yer dancing head, chicita.

Don't really know much about these guys, saw 'em open for Dead Meadow and liked them. Bought the record, like it a lot. Some combo of NYC hip and full-on rock, with no bullshit whiny crap (as some of that NYC hip degrades into). Cool ass band. Check em out.

Nebula - Let It Burn

Song: Let It BurnDownload MP3
Label: RelapseWebsite

Riffs. Eddie Glass (vox/gtr) put it something like this: "I write a riff. I throw on some vocals." That's Nebula. Clean, simple, non-stop boogie. This is from the EP "Let It Burn." Their newest record is "Atomic Ritual," my favorite is "To The Center." In between there was "Charged." But you can't really go wrong with any of their shit.

Label: Southern LordWebsite

I'm not a huge fan of the Foo Fighters, but it seems anything else Dave Grohl gets his hands on is gold. He was drummin on QOTSA's last album, and a bunch of other shit and now has this new record, Probot, out. It's Dave's songs with a bunch of his heroes singin on them (Lemmy, King Diamond, singers from COC, Sepultura, etc), and goes from cool rock to goth rock to grindin hardcore - this one is a live track with Snake from Voivod.

Brant Bjork - Low Desert Punk

www.Hellthy.com Presents:
Artist: Brant Bjork Website | Buy The Album
Song: Low Desert PunkDownload MP3
Label: Southern LordWebsite

This is a sort-of autobiographical song from Brant's solo album Jalamanta (he plays and sings nearly everything]. For those not knowing, he was drummer and a songwriter for desert rock legends Kyuss, and later Fu Manchu. This track, the entire album really, is a bit of a chilled-out departure from those 2 bands without losing any of that good old rock n roll energy that keeps me wantin to move to the middle of the California desert.

Electric Eel Shock - Do The Metal

Song: Do The MetalDownload MP3
Label: Demolition RecordsWebsite

On their first albums, the Stones and the Beatles were playin, and in so doing honoring, the music they loved. In their case it was early soul and rock n roll from America. Japanese head-bangers EES are doing the exact same thing with this song - except in their case, it's '80's heavy metal. From the 1st name check (Dee Snider) to the last 1000 note-per-second guitar solo, you'll be waxin' nostalgic.

Song: DreamsDownload MP3
Label: Stones Throw RecordsWebsite

Recently reissued by West Coast hip-hop label Stones Throw, Stark Reality's original album, a funky, jazzy, fuzz-toned cult classic, consists of very original interpretations of songs written by Hoagy Carmichael. They've been sampled by the likes of Large Professor, J-Live, and Madlib (on the upcoming MadVillain album, one of a long list of underground hiphop originals on Stones Throw). It's lately been dubbed the "holy grail of psychedelic jazz-funk.

Darediablo - Celebrity Shark Week

From www.Hellthy.com
Download MP3
Artist: Darediablo (Website)

A live recording of 'Celebrity Shark Week,' a track from this trio's 4th and most recent album Feeding Frenzy (a new one is supposed to be coming out soon). Easy comparisons to MMW can be made I suppose, but extraneous jazzbo artiness is not this bands MO (nothing against MMW). This is more Booker T meets AC/DC, if both those bands were operating much more in the shadows. And absolute monster shows, so next time they're playin give yourself further reason to live and go see 'em.

High On Fire - Eyes And Teeth

From www.Hellthy.com
Download MP3
Artist: High OnFire (Website)

As Tony Iommi and Sabbath are, so shall Matt Pike and High On Fire be: icons of a music so purely heavy, riffs so absolute in their distillation of all things crushing, reference points for a particular sound by which all others will forever be judged. Listen and bow your heads in deference to unmatched, hook-laden ferocity (Matt Pike was leader of now extinct giant Sleep - if you've seen Harmony Korine's 'Gummo' you've heard pieces from their song 'Jerusalem.' And if you're lookin for extremes look no further than the album of the same name, one hour, one song, 62bpm).

Artist:Eagles Of Death Metal(Website)

Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes leads this trio of smooth-talkin, lady-lovin rock n rollers, their primary concern being all things sexy. They got this entire show available for download at their website, and there's seemingly no end to the sexiocity, sexilocity, and sexiotomy. Listen, and when you're done listenin' throw a towel over the wetspot.

Slim Cessna's Auto Club - This Is How We Do Things In The Country

From www.Hellthy.com
Download MP3
Artist: Slim Cessna's Auto Club(Website)

The 1st track off Slim and the gang's most recent, The Blovdy Tenent Trvth Peace (their 2nd record with Jello B's Alternative Tentacles label), it's a classic yarn of incest, murder, and divine retribution. All recurring themes throughout their music. Imagine a southern revival meeting of the early 1900's, hellfire and brimstone, preachers speakin in tongues, sin and redemption, and then imagine the band playin. Now you've got some idea of the Auto Club. If you're lookin for a crazed live show this is a band that puts on one of the best ever - I've seen 'em fall off the stage in good-natured drunken tussles, spit beer in each others faces, dance a fine jig, and keep every crowd shimmy in from the moment they walk on stage til the moment they leave.
