Imagine the Stooges meeting Crazy Horse with killer marching band horns, wailing gospel backing vocals, ripping Eddie Hazel guitar leads, and Albert Ayler free jazz freakouts. Athens’ DARK MEAT, a 17-piece hippie rock fest featuring double drums, boundless guitars, massive horns, strings, and ensemble voices, has been giving earth-shaking performances all over the south for the last three years. [Insound].
[MP3]: “Freedom Ritual”
This truly is the bastard child of The Velvet Underground circa mid sections of Sister Ray and White Light White Heat and most contemporarily related to the second Liars incarnation. EX MODELS set jaws dropping by reinventing themselves and challenging us again. The peaks reached during this set actually surpassed the standard set by the previous extraordinary Ex Models. See them. [Paul Cox, Artrocker UK].
[MP3]: “White Psychosis”
Influenced by bands like Black Sabbath, The Cramps, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, and The Stooges, Brooklyn’s THE NAKED HEROES play a brand of raw, in-your-face southern rock.
[MP3]: “The Goonhand”
