Afghan Whigs - Gentleman

Can't beat a bit of the surly, swirly, seedy Afghan Whigs. Greg Dulli & co bring loads of slabs of honest, scuzzy, grungy, indie rock type stuffs to your ears. Still got plenty of time for this band all these years on.

Alunah - Song Of The Sun

I wouldn't normally upload just individual songs of bands, but Jake from Alunah got in touch after I did a recent mail around asking for content for this site, so am more than happy to help bands that make the effort to share their wares...

In the Mediafire file, there is one song, a 6 1/2 minute effort, so worth checking out, called 'Song Of The Sun', and it's a quality mix of psychedelic, stoner, fuzzy, buzzy riffs and intelligently put together vocal patterns and melodies throughout.

Alunah are a busy band, played gigs with many a named band (Paradise Lost, Taint, Orange Goblin amongst others), and have had many songs on compilations as well as a nicely growing discography. Support them, as they're ace and hard working...

Alunah's Myspace here...

File has the song, the amazing tour flyer and full sized artwork for the song, as well as a biography of the band. Well worth having a look.

quicksand - manic compression

i forgot about this album for years. i am a fool! if you like things along the lines of helmet, fugazi, shellac and all that, then you should check these out.

kylesa - tensions

out of the current bands doing this sort of thing, i, now, think that kylesa are about the best. took me a while to fully get into them, but, especially now that mastodon have turned pretty poor, this album makes up for it.

daughters - daughters

so, is this REALLY the daughters or the jesus lizard? well. okay, so it's not the jesus lizard, but it's probably the closest thing you will find! amazingly. compare their first album thing, 'canada songs' to this and you'll remain in disbelief that it's the same band, but, give this one a chance if you love the other one, because this is a grower, addictive, and utterly immense.

pixies - trompe le monde

can't beat a bit of pixies, and i reckon this is my favourite, but, they're all awesome.

mars volta - de-loused in the comatorium

in my opinion, their best album. amazing progressive sounds.

earthtone9 - arc-tan-gent

progressivey metally rocky atmosphericy riffy stuffs.

beatles - Abbey Road

The band that got me into music, with their Yellow Submarine film, this is my favourite album of theirs. I saw Yellow Submarine when I was 4 and loved it for the music as well as the animation, and that was the start of things to come for me.

Still an absolute classic. Every song is perfect.
