Listen – United Teachers of Music – Children of the Glow

by

Metal and Punk, what’s not to love about United Teachers of Music. They put out an album back in November of 2017, called The Dreams of Beasts Must Die. The guitars are ferocious, the bass and drums keep it all together and the vocals channel a mix of Rob Halford and Jello Biafra. Turn this track up when you are listening to it.

Video – Axel Foley – Lovely / Poltergeist (SNOWDAY)

by

Remember the blizzard a few weeks ago. The aftermath is in this video. Impressively done with an iPhone, and some mad editing skills by Axel Foley.  Off the mixtape Maroon Goon, you should check it out. – https://soundcloud.com/axelfoleymn/sets/maroon-goon

Here is rocking tune from Maudlin. The video effects are awesome as well. Pop punk, interwining vocals = magic. They have assured me they have a new album coming out in 2018. So very soon, folks.

Listen – Kitten Forever – Hell Hole

by

Holy moly, punk the way it should be. I have always enjoyed Kitten Forever, but to continuously put out music that rocks my brain. It’s amazing! Oh, and don’t get me started about the bass. A new album and tour, and it’s happening this week.

Here is the info on their release show, Thursday, May 3rd at The Loring Bar and Grill.

Listen – Pilot Jonny – Introduction

by

Listen To: “Introduction” off of the newly released IM NOT SAD NO MORE 

It’s great when people use music to heal themselves, Pilot Jonny’s IM NOT SAD NO MORE is  a story about his struggle with depression.

“IM NOT SAD NO MORE is my brief chronological process of how I dealt with my depression. Through self medication and self realization. Every track starts with P because each song represents a problem of mine; A problem being something causing stress, wether positive or negative.” – Pilot Jonny.
