Randy Blythe reflects on Lamb of God's formative years on the new single: "We learned how to play by watching and hanging out with other local dudes. That's what we aspired to do - keep up with good local bands. They were just as much of an influence on us as any of the bigger bands from different cities." (continue)

There's no one quite like KillerStar. The band's founders, songwriter Rob Fleming (Vocals, Guitar, Synths) and James Sedge (Drums), started the band fuelled by a shared love of '70s art-rock and contemporary alternative bands-and they were soon boosted by an array of David Bowie's most trusted collaborators, who had each organically gravitated towards the project. As the March 20 release of their second album THE AFTERGLOW approaches, KillerStar now further preview the record with their new single "Rubicon."
"Rubicon" is epic both in scope and duration. It unfolds like a journey, its progressive leanings in perfect equilibrium with the band's desire to make every moment count. The duo's collaborators summon a touch of prime Bowie spirit while doing something entirely fresh, especially with ambient guitar work by Gerry Leonard and a sprawling, fluid solo from Rob Fleming and Earl Slick as does Mark Garson's atmospheric keys. The song also features bass from Mark Plati, ethereal vocal harmonies from The Webb Sisters (David Gilmour, Leonard Cohen), and backing vocals from Emm Grynor. (continue)

P.J.M. Bond just released "Ponderosa Pine", the second single from his forthcoming "Coyote (King of the Island) album", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
The melody for "Ponderosa Pine" had been there for quite a while, and I felt that each verse of the song had to finish with the kind of catchphrase Bob Dylan might use (such as "Shelter from the Storm," "The Times They Are A-Changing", etc.). But nothing really stuck or made sense. I was condemned to wait until inspiration struck. And luckily enough, it did, but rather oddly. (continue)

Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the top stage shows, making them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-'70s and early '80s. Discovered by KISS bass player, Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would be on future endeavors like White Hot (1978) and Sinful (1979).

Acclaimed NYC-based art collective Bleed Electric just rereleased their sophomore EP "Let The Invasion Begin" and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the song "Gravity." Here is the story:
At first listen, "Gravity" sounds like a love song. That was intentional. Some emotions only reveal themselves when they are wrapped in beauty. Melody can carry truths that anger never could. But "Gravity" is not about romance. It is about closeness mistaken for loyalty, generosity slowly turning into rivalry, and the quiet realization that the person pulling you close is also the one holding you back. (continue)
