OT: Whatcha Listening To?

[charliemurphy]

Edge, check out White Denim

 

[Jabroni]

guitar solos from dio's hear n' aid recording sessions.

That project has some amazing vocals. Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, Don Dokken, Ronnie James Dio...

 

[Captain Monglobster]

As I Lay Dying for about two weeks straight. Pretty mad at myself that I didn’t listen to them when they came out.

 

[Machinehead]

Hardcore punk from Boston

 

[Ghost of jas]

The whining on the HF Ranger board.

Touch & Go really needs to reissue the rest of this band's catalog. Steve Albini (observing from behind the drum set lol) has been doing a lot of T&G remasters lately; this album is approaching it's 20th anniversary, and it has spawned a thousand offspring since then, none of them ever really topping the Don.

Liking what I’m hearing thus far.

They're a really good young band. My only gripe is that they haven't solidified their lineup and toured heavily. The guitarist/singer and bassist write the songs... if they stuck with the same lineup and toured for more than 50 shows a year they would draw a big following.

Listening to them now as I watch and wait on deadline day. Enjoying them.

Listening to D while rounding up some press clips for a client.

Every one of their studio albums are great. Not too many of their live shows can be found... this clip is probably my favorite lineup they put together

Here's another

 

[True Blue]

Black Keys anyone?

Diving into Tame Impala and Pond.

Gotta say, as I dug further back into White Denim's catalogue, I found it less enjoyable/interesting. IMO, the earlier stuff sounds more like inoffensive bluesy background music; the more current stuff is much more engaging.

Slightly overdue for a new album, hopefully one is in the works.

I had the same conclusion, but came from a different approach --- starting with their first efforts and then working my way up to their most recent.

It can be a pain in the neck at times, but I find it allows me to better understand an artist's evolution (or lack thereof).

Or de-evolution into a pop-rock band. Not mentioning any names.

There was a long period where 4 Words was my go to work out song.

 

[Machinehead]

There was a long period where 4 Words was my go to work out song.

That was everybody's first Bullet song because it had some commercial success and was in some video games.

An absolute classic.

I'm pretty sure it actually grew fists and beat the shit out of the single from the latest album, and took its lunch money.

 

[Machinehead]

After a foray more into hard rock, OMAM are going back to metal with this new single and it's f***ing fire.

@charliemurphy and @Edge: thoughts on Bones UK? I feel like they have great potential but are in serious danger of their early fame (and good looks) interfering with their development as musicians. Curious to hear your opinions.
