A Ripple Conversation With Stephen Bishop Of Thunder Horse

When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, and Simon and Garfunkel, the first time I ever heard Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," it was a moment of musical epiphany. It was just so vicious, aggressive and mean. It changed the way I listened to music. I've had a few minor epiphany's since then, when you come across a band that just brings something new and revolutionary to your ears. You and I are close to the same age. For me personally, KISS was an epic part of my life. My first album was Love Gun! I still have that vinyl to this day! BUT; There were 2 bands that literally changed my life. I have to say the first was Jane’s Addiction and the other was Ministry. I know, I know…..Not very “doom” of me, right? I have to disagree. Jane's taught me how to make art from my thoughts in the form of music. Ministry taught me how to say what I had to say, without compromise. I love those bands and have to say that In owe my entire music

Undesiccated/Lahar - 'Peristeria & Tephra'

The ever-productive Undesiccated are back, this time with their first ever split, 'Peristeria & Tephra', and their partners-in-crime on this endeavor are Indonesia's Lahar. Undesiccated are a very familiar entity to me, whose music has thrilled me immensely since the amazing debut, 'Xylem', back in February 2019. Lahar, on the other hand are basically unknown to me, despite countless searches online to find out more. Regardless, what they bring musically is what matters and what they unleash on this cassette/ digital split speaks volumes, much more than any band info would. The title of this split is rather telling and spot on, if you ask me. Peristeria is the genus of plants in the orchid family, and orchids are beautiful while Tephra are rock fragments and particles ejected by volcanic eruptions. In other words, it is created by brute unforgiving force. And that's exactly what this recording is. The eight songs on offer, four from each band, clock i

The Angels (Angel City): Face to Face

Nobody will deny that AC/DC 's riffs can shatter concrete and that their boogie rocking blues makes for some good times, but if you're searching for something with lyrical content beyond songs about women's butts and groupies with the clap, Angel City is the band for you. Amazingly huge and known as the Angels in Australia , they had to adopt the moniker Angel City in America due to the dying glam band, Angel fronted by Greg Guiffria. This nomenclature schizophrenia would torment the band throughout it's existence, once forcing them to take up the unruly moniker of The Angels from Angel City . But don't let the name confusion steer you away from what they have to offer. No matter what they called themselves The Angles knew how to rock and Face to Face , a compilation of the best songs from their two prior mega-platinum Australian releases, is a great place to lose yourself in their particular brand of madness. The key to Angel City (the Angels) were
