A dose from US Metalcore outfit Killswitch Engage today. This one appeared on the 'Freddy vs Jason' movie soundtrack in '03, which was pretty much non-step metal from start to finish. There seemed to be this 'inspired by' quality to most of the soundtracks that…
A 90's Aussie throwback. Not sure how often this would get played live these days given the plethora of set list choices available - but I reckon it would still be a hit. Big fan of the 'spoon!…
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 footswitch…
