Rock Excess
Some classic Foo'ies. One of my favourite tracks from this album! About 10 years ago, a mate brought me an Ace Tone FM-1 vintage fuzz that he'd inherited from his Grandpa, and that needed some T.L.C. After a quick solder job on the…
Really?
Now I think the random-o-meter is just picking songs from the aforementioned set list. We did a very punky, chunky, 'tribute' version of this early 90's classic. It wasn't actually that much of a stretch as the song has good bones with…
Confused Piranha's
This one transports me straight back to 1995. Well, the summer of 95/96 to be exact. I played my first gig as lead (cough ... only) guitarist, with the band formerly known as the 'Voodoo Surf Nazis' (Point Break reference there), who were now known simply as '…

Two strong, female fronted, nu-metal and beyond bangers in a row! What are the odds? Lacuna Coil are still kicking it today after close to 30 years and a pretty full discography. Again, I never dug deep, simply enjoyed the riff-fuelled, distorted goodness with those heavenly vocal hooks…
Inside the cover
Another 00's post nu-metal band hailing from the southwest US for today's dose. I've never really dug into the backstory of this band, and heck, as with all bands I tend to look for the melody, riffs and hooks rather than really get…
Start planning
3 weeks back at work. Time to start planning the next holiday... so here's a dose to get you inspired.…
Beyond the break
More proggy goodness today, this time with their origins in the far-off western lands of Perth, WA. This one is a particularly ear-wormy one at that. Ex Full-Scale (deflection) vocalist Ezekial Ox, after a long time between drinks, with band Mammal literally (Penny) drops a killer album…
Brisvegas Prog
A very nice pick from the random-o-meter today, with Aussie Prog Metal band Caligula's Horse. I don't know a lot about them but am happy to attest that their discography deserves an explore. They, along with an entire smorgasbord of Brisvegas local rock, metal,…
