“She was living off a tightness in her chest: life.”
Arrogant Criminals are a rock group from Paris. “The band exists since 2010 and experienced a second birth in 2017,” says Simon (guitarist and vocalist). They published their EP entitled Arrogant Criminals in 2014 with a remix of “Five Years of Dreams” the next year. Their engaging LP “Fine & Dandy” was released just last year.
In honor of Women’s History Month, I thought it would be fitting to talk about some of the overlooked women who helped create rock. “For sixty years, conventional wisdom has told us that women generally did not perform rock and roll during the 1950s.” Nearly seventy years later, the only women presented to us by the media are half-naked on their covers. Time moves on; however, many things get swept under the rug, like every pioneer before Elvis and, frankly, most women. It’s easy to think nowadays that back then, women played submissive roles as fans, studio audience members, groupies,
Nuclear Nation’s self-titled debut LP, “Nuclear Nation,” released in 2019, is filled with kick-ass backbeats and memorable guitar solos. With songs like “You’re Not the Boss of Me,” “Gas Station,” and “Entropy,” it seems nearly impossible to top. However, they have outdone themselves with LP “Stardumb.”
The Framatics came out with their single titled “Bang Bang.” The band creates “alternative rock with a highly melodic, synthy twist.” I was surprised when I looked into their Spotify. Their single “Look in Your Eye” has a booming backbeat, and the guitarist contains loads of energy. The single is edgy with badass vocals. “I Think You’re Funny” is quite similar. However, “Bang Bang” has a larger pop feel. They all sound powerful, but “Bang Bang” holds a nice modern pop alternative feel.
Sometime in the mid-50s, Etta James, a black RnB singer, released her song “Roll With Me Henry,” later renamed “The Wallflower.” Quickly the song became a hit, slowly climbing its way up Buildboard Rythm and Blues chart. The song took a vast audience, continued climbing, and later became a pop hit in the spring of 1955. Not for James, though. Georgia Gibbs’ “Dance With Me Henry (Wallflower)” was a “toned down” version of James’ song. Gibbs replaced multiple lyrics to make the song “softer.”
Psychedelic rock band Blind Feline put out their EP “Cicadas” just last year. Each of the six tracks tells a story with country elements and experimental or even Rockabilly sounds. “We tell stories about being human, love, death, and irony,” the band stated.
1994 was a pretty horrible year for music in general, not only rock. We lost Kurt Cobain, and Justin Bieber was born.
Ex Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler has explained his withdrawal from the band. Alder told MetalSucks Quarantinecast that he left because he felt the group was “toxic.” He also claimed it was “frown-town all the time.” After spending a lot of time with Lamb of God, he became one of metal’s most popular drummers. Alder spent so much of his life part of the “toxic” band. “We’ve spent 26 years in a bus, a train, a plane. There’s not much left to talk about. We’ve explored our friendships to the fullest,” he said. Alder also compared Lamb of God
The alternative rock band Sonar Red is to release their 12-track album titled ‘Nonunion’ this year. Nothing is set in stone. The duo has already issued two captivating singles that will be included in ‘Nonunion’ with one more on its way.
GASM is a hardcore rock band formed in 2019. The trio is currently working hard on their demo album, which Goldmine Records will release this year. They suggest it will be finished by the middle to the end of 2021. Nothing is yet definite. On the other hand, they have leaked two singles of their demo. The blood-curdling rock trio specializes in die-hard crust/hardcore music. They started as a duo act, adding the beyond comparable Eka nearly a year later. He plays a mean bass as well as fills vocal positions. GASM recently leaked singles “Suffocating” and “Persetan.” They are
