The irony in
today’s title is the featured album initials are BBB and the article series
here is also BBB. Double Triple B’s. Killer B’s. I thought that was cool, what
I also think is that you should listen to the recommendations in today’s
feature of Bucky’s Bandcamp Bonanza.
Buttered Bacon Biscuits – From
The Solitary Woods
What we have
here folks is a reissue for the first time on vinyl the defunct band who later
formed the monster what is Witchwood deep in the Italian woods. I urge you to grab the vinyl edition
of this as Jolly Rogers Records is doing the world a service by putting this
out there. Extremely limited, this will likely only get pressed once and you
have your chance to be one of the few and one of the proud vinyl junkies. As
there is only a couple tracks streaming on bandcamp, you get the full album
with digital purchase and it is impeccable. Trust me.
What a
well executed and masterfully written album. If you're here you probably have
the Witchwood stuff already and this is the prelude to that. If you're new, sit
back, relax and let the melodies drift you away to a time when the sun baked
oranger and the smoke rung heavier. BBB bring classic rock full circle
including haunting keys, arena filling rhythm, mind-melting psych, and deep
brooding blues with a vocal package soaring at the crossroads of Dickie Betts
meets Use Your Illusion era Axl Rose.
Mind Reverse – Mind Reverse EP
This one
just ticks all the right boxes and is an enjoyable listen no matter what your
mood.
Nice
fusion of punky garage blues and progressive psych rock. One that gets better
with each listen. Quite impressive.
This one may
go down in many year-end lists. Interesting trivia, Tony Hawk’s kid is the
frontman for this impressive band. Southern California skater rawk at its
finest!!!
Petyr
come launching out of nowhere with a blazing set of cosmic riffage on its
self-titled smasher. Heavy psych hasn't felt this good since your first trip on
magic mushrooms. The laser blues laced skater punk jam layers of
extraterrestrial fuzz into empty pools of Witch meets Earthless. Hot damn!!
The Wicked Ones – The Wicked Ones
Ya, this is
a wicked one. I especially like the hard edged groove and the vocal assault. So
mean, yet so clean. Price is right too. Can’t afford not to.
This is
where the Steve Rodgers in me says "Gods Holy Trousers" Ravishing
vocals wailing over dominating bass lines and wickedly constructed metallic
fuzz. Add in a distorted cover of Jefferson Airplane and I think we've got
somebody to love. Holy fucking crap!
King Zong – King Zong
Sounds like
the album looks, and seems to be getting welcomed attention in the heavy side
of the heavy underground. Dig it.
King Zog
comes out ripping hard on the riff bong taking the low and slow doomy blues to
the 5th dimension
Feuerzeug – Dead Wahines and Psunamis
These guys just came on my radar and come to
find out as blown away as I was about this old material, our president Racer
was all over it back in the day. Review here. They’ve gone into hibernation but rumor
has it they are back together and working on new material. Keep your ears out
for Feuerzeug, as they’ve got big news to unleash soon.
Absolutely
punishing fuzz catapulted by unrelenting groove after groove. The bass rumbles
tirelessly beneath the distorted riffs which echo against a clean, powerful
vocal.
Well that
was fun. What do you think of all this madness? Give us your suggestions. What
are you listening to other than the obvious albums mentioned here right this
minute? Inquiring minds want to know. Don’t be scared join the party, pitch
your tent, follow us on bandcamp, and
