Do you dig on dark heavy music vibes? Then have I got the track for you. From the minute it starts you know it’s going to be an interesting ride. I’m really entranced by the vocals. Their vocalist can pull off some really dark deep vocals as well as a nice clean higher tone. This creates an amazing balance, almost like the whole light/dark thing. This is such an epic sounding song. The lyrics are really strong and I love the obvious connection between the vocalist and the lyrics. Musically there are no compalints over here. The song has nice modulation alternating from a dark pounding rhythm to a more upbeat rockish style. The guitar work is very reminiscent of the big rock sounds of the 80’s. Love the fret work, it takes you all over the place. And that solo is to die for. As I said I love all the elements and how they came together to produce this rock/metal gem.
There is no doubt that I am loving this track. I would love to have it on my server and my phone. Due to all the change ups in the song you could put it with just about any rock or metal band. I was considering a match up with H.I.M., some Avenged Sevenfold and Zombie Sam. I’m really wishing I had this track a while ago, just cause I like it so damn much. đ

Pentagram, the highly influential American heavy metal/doom act fronted by mastermind Bobby Liebling, formed in the early 1970s. Through four decades of adversity and triumph, Pentagram has become a legendary international act and has firmly stamped its name in the heavy metal history books.
Although always a cult act with a strong and dedicated worldwide fan base, Pentagram has enjoyed a recent surge in interest due in part to the fly-on-the-wall 2011 documentary, Last Days Here, following the life, trials and tribulations of Bobby Liebling. The film gained international recognition, travelling the worldwide film festival circuit where it won several awards including “Best Music Documentary” at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam.
Stay tuned for more information on Pentagram and All Your Sins, out next month on Peaceville.
Who needs an intro to a song when the song is this damn good. Those drums are absolutely crushing, I think I would die if I tried to play even 5 seconds of the drum line. Loving it!! The guitar works is every bit as stellar as the drum line. I’m really appreciating the movement in the guitar. It keeps the listener engaged during the song. Now let’s talk about those vocals. I have no freaking clue what this guy is singing about, nor do I care. The dirty/screaming vocals on this track will blow your mind. There is so much power behind his voice that I can barely stand it.
Who They Are: Formed in 2008. Soon after the debut album “Tears Of Blood” was unleashed. Quickly gained recognition in the metal community and Facebook, it spurred demand for Diementia to be a live band. A few years later, and through varying lineups, the band finally came together in 2011 with the subsequent release of the 4 track EP “Forgotten Dead” following in early 2012 Diementia have now started their onslaught on the UK with their own brand of melodic, death, thrash metal. Having played numerous venues as well as a blistering set at the very first Beermageddon Find us also online at: The Band is: Jason Hinde – Guitars David Pollock – Guitars Facebook Twitter
That slow intro with the guitar and drums is super awesome. When the song kicks in with the vocals and a funky upbeat rhythm is really fresh and fun. There is something about the groove of the song that is a bit on the carny side. In a way it makes me think of some of the old Alice Cooper stuff. It’s just a bit punkish in the way it kinds spits in the face of conventional musical composition. There are a lot of change ups in the tempo, something I always approve of. The vocals are straight up punk style with the sneer you can hear. The guitar work really backs up the noncommittal nature of the music, but the lyrics sing a different tune.
This song was really cool to listen to. I think I would like to put it on a playlist with some of my other funky songs like Cats are Cooler then Dogs and There’s No Sadness Holding and Ice Cream. These songs are so different from what I normally listen to and that makes them cool as hell. Trippy rhythms and often funny or sarcastic lyrics are always something I enjoy.
The Un-Romantics are a 5 piece indie/rock&roll band hailing from Dundee,Scotland With there mutual love for music, the 5 friends got together to form in 2014 and they haven’t looked back. After playing Dundee’s local scene they got the chance to support Glasgow’s Less Than Sober (LTS) on there sell out show and what can only be described as “one of them gigs” the boys were straight away asked back to the west coast for LTS’ homecoming gig which went a storm . The Dundee boys were then a host to a number of sell out home gigs at Scottish Venue of the year Buskers(formally The Doghouse) and headline sell outs slots at nonzeros, they were asked to support Glasgows “Kings Of Ska” The Begbies, The boys then played alot of local events and festivals and finished 2014 with Radio Air Play and also a HUGE support slot with nme’s ‘bands of 2015’and Q’s one to watch Glasgow’s Jim Valentine. and started this year 2015 with supporting The Sherlocks who have toured with The Enemy, & supported Scouting For Girls, The Un Romantics dont just give you banging guitar riffs or lyrics to make you think they give a show not to be missed!

Clearly these kids came to rock! I’m loving that drum line so freaking much. It’s all nice and in your face, an excellent support system for that brilliant guitar work. It’s got my toes tapping and ready to bang my head until the walls come down. Speaking of the guitar work, I am super impressed with what I’m hearing. There is a lot of movement in the line and it’s got a hot as hell solo moment. There is some serious dirty going on with that line as well. Vocally I can’t find any thing that I don’t like. There is an edgy, raspy quality to the vocals during some points while during most of the verses it’s a cleaner style. He has a great tone and is making me feel this song. Love, loving the random screaming vocals!
Dear god I need this track. I just, like need this so I can put it on the server and my phone. I’ll just have it on endless repeat until I totally piss off my family and the neighbors. This song is really that damn good. I also have every intention of going in and listening to more of their songs. I thought this track was right up my alley and any one out there who digs on that rock/metal vibe is going to fall out of this one.
âItâs simple, we do it because we love it! We donât go to rehearsal just to practice, but to expel our demonsâ âMAXIMUS
All being from the same small town in Richmond BC and with the same interests it was inevitable to find each other. Monty and Maximus met through mutual friends in high school and quickly bonded on their love for such bands as the Deftones and Nirvana.
â The first time I met Nikki, I just got a job teaching guitar. I was right out of high school and I was substituting for his teacher at the time. We ended up talking music and I showed him the project I was in. Nikki was still in high school and mentioned he also sang. The next time i saw Nikki was at a mutual friends house party. Our friend Cam just put together a new band and it just so happened that it was Nikki singing. After watching a couple songs we knew we needed to steal him! Hah. Soon after we found Steve-o on a Craigslist ad. Pretty sure he was the first guy we tried out! If it works it works you know? ” – Maximus

I need to see Romantic Rebel tour with Halestorm! This song is amazing. I’m loving the seriously up tempo beat on that drum line. Those drums hit heavy and hard with a constant vengeance. The guitar work is something to be marveled at with those blazing fast licks. There are some amazing solo’s that really show off what this cat can do. But with all that I’m most taken with the vocals. This chick can wail! She has a great sense of timing and connection to the lyrics. Plus she’s got an awesome powerful 80’s scream that you just have to hear to believe.
I want to download this to my server and to my phone. The production needs to come up just a touch on the top end I think. But in the overall who cares. This band rocks the ass in every way possible. I would pair this track up with some Halestorm, In This Moment, Forever Still, Stitched Up Heart and Diamante. All these bands have incredible female lead singers backed by truly awesome musicians.
Chicago’s Romantic Rebel delivers a brand of female fronted hard rock with unparalleled, explosive energy that has been taking the scene by storm.
Formed in 2012 by siblings KT Paige (vocals) and Alex Vincent (guitar), the band quickly recruited Danny D (bass) and Marcus Lee (drums) to form what would become Romantic Rebel.
Becoming a promotion machine, the group immediately started booking shows and distributing free music to start gaining fans.
Their rapidly growing fan base demanded more music from the group. The band entered the studio in late 2013 with renowned producer Ulrich Wild to record their debut album in Los Angeles, CA. The album was completed and released on April 29th, 2014 via Pavement Entertainment/Sony RED, being named Revolver magazine’s ‘Album of the Week’, only days after its release.
Their self-titled debut is a modern rock anthem with some throwback vibes blending female vocals with classic overtones, which has given Romantic Rebel an upper hand to the seemingly stale rock scene. A hybrid of modern and classic elements has turned the heads of fans and critics alike.
After playing numerous regional shows, the band started touring on a national level, supporting acts such as: All That Remains, Sevendust, Asking Alexandria, Avatar, Crobot, Nonpoint, Otherwise and Like A Storm. As well as landing a spot on Wisconsin Metalfest and Rock Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin. In the Summer of 2014, the band embarked on a 4 week tour with Bobaflex, as well as a national headlining tour.
To ring in the new year, KT was chosen by Revolver Magazine to be featured in their January 2015 issue as the Hottest Chick in Hard Rock and Metal.
The band’s newest single, âBelieveâ will be heading to radio this January, spreading the Rebel epidemic nationwide.
Recently signing with TKO, the band plans to actively tour in the upcoming year.

KT Paige: Lead Vocals Alex Vincent: Guitar and Backing Vocals Danny D: Bass Marcus Lee: Drums
Oh man, I feel like I did the first time I heard Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots! This has the same grungy wonderful vibe that those bands did. I even get just the faintest whiff of Violent Femmes!! The vocals are that awesome “I don’t care” style that all the great grunge/underground bands had. I also am in love with the bass line. It’s so rare I get to comment on a bass line since they seem to get hidden a lot. This is such a treat for bass lovers! The guitar is also pretty noncommittal which is super cool.
Straight up I need to have this song. I would play it here there and everywhere cause it’s just so damn cool. I could set this in a playlist with the grunge greats from the 90’s along with some of the punk bands in the 80’s (yeah, I’m talking to you DK). I love, love, love it!
Hi⊠So, weâre Subterranean Popular. We hate doing these things, it feels like a job interview or like we’re writing a CV⊠but screw it, here it goes.
We’re a multi-gendered, guy-fronted, 3-piece riot-grrl rock band (how’s that for a long intro), based in London and currently making our merry little way around the toilet circuit looking for a home that will serve us tasty soup. We’ve been compared to bands like The Pixies, Sonic Youth and Nirvana in the past, but still been praised for our distinctive Indie and Pop-tinged sound, with catchy little riffs and big, tasty melodies; juxtaposing sometimes summery sounds with lots of fuzz, and dark lyrics.
Subterranean Popular formed in 2012, and after going through the usual chaotic line-up changes ended up with an eclectic but fitting mix of thinkers, artists and scribblers; a borderline genius academic and feminist thinker on drums, an expert artist and illustrator on bass and an Orwell obsessed, Bronte and Plath loving writer on guitar and vocals. A collection of slightly spacey ex-introverts who have been wrenched from their shells by bright lights and the scream of the crowd. Who needs therapy when you have music?
This all takes a back seat to our real love, which is playing our own brand of blistering indie-grunge rock, with the ultimate aim of escaping the bland, dead-eyed world of industrialised creativity where all talents are just used to sell the products of a big company. Well, we can dream canât we?

Daniel Crudge – Guitar and Vocals Alex Mac – Drums and Vocals Sid Allen – Bass
Oh my stars! What a lovely bass line right up front and perfect! Brilliant intro guys. When the song fully kicks in it’s just a bunch of awesome in a track. I really love that guitar riff. You’ll know the one when you listen to it. Musically like the 70’s classic rock crashed into 90’s style rock. It took the best parts of both and produced a song that has the feeling of Saturday night during the summer when everything is possible. The vocals are so well done with a warm tone and just the slighted bit of roughness around the edges. The drum work is a strong back bone to the song hanging out just in the background and occasionally making itself known.
I have to have this song on my phone. I want to put it in my Feel Good List. That one is a mashup of genre’s but all of them have just awesome feels to them. The song’s been over for a quick minute and yet I still have the song firmly crammed in my nog nog so it’s catchy as hell. I just wanna share this one with every one I’ve ever met right now.

I love the positive nature of this track! I am really grooving on the flow and Random’s vocal style. I’ve listened to a lot of rap songs here on the site, but this is one of the few that I feel like there is a solid connection between Random and the vocals. It’s got a lot of bounce. He can come over and raid my fridge any time, just do a little rap for me first! Not a lot of songs like this leave me with a smile on my face. As a huge plus this is a song you can play around the kiddo’s and not have to worry about them singing it. Musically, yeah it’s got some synth style to it. I know I complain about that a lot but I think it works here. It feels really playful behind Random’s rap.
So I love this song. I want to send this to my best friends because I think they would love it as well. I want to have this on my server and my phone. I need to put together a list of songs that just kinda make me happy. This one would probably be one of the first songs I would put on the list. I’m talking about every thing from the song “Happy” to “Uptown Funk” and “Word Crimes”. Hey they all put a smile on my face and a bounce in my step just like this song does!
Who They Are:
Random, aka Mega Ran. Half-teacher, half musician, all hustle. As one of the first independent artists to secure an exclusive licensing agreement with a major videogame developer (CAPCOM), Random manages the unthinkable by dazzling retro gamers while garnering respect from Hip-Hop’s harshest critics. Random’s unique combination of fantasy and introspective hip-hop has found its way into movies, video games, and even coursework at several universities. Oh, and he teaches middle school English.

Wow, this really takes me back! The whole vibe of this track is a psychedelic trip. It makes me think a great deal of bands like Floyd. Â It has that experimental style to it that is most commonly associated with Dark Side of the Mon. I love the guitar work. It’s not really showy and yet this guy doesn’t let you miss that he is really damn good with his instrument. The vocals are mostly resting lazily in the background and possibly filtered. In this particular song I don’g have issue with that. I makes the vocals more of an instrument then a “voice”. It really enhances the experimental vibe a lot. The drum line is very simple but provides a strong back bone for the track on the overall.
Though I’m not a huge fan of Floyd, I gotta say I found this piece to be rather attractive. I can’t really put my finger on what I liked about it, just that I did. I would match this track up with some Floyd (obviously) and some of the more experimental Beatles music. Most likely when relaxing with some cocktails and herb. I don’t see it going on my phone, but certainly on my server for future entertainment.
Who They Are:
Where to begin…ah the beginning! I was in numerous bands in my younger years playing in some rather strange places. I enjoy writing and playing but recording has always been my passion. Later on, I set my sights to recording my own material and others which now includes Sherri Lyn Robbins, a wonderful dear friend of mine for some years now.
I really like the R&B aspects of this song. For the most part I like the lyrics. There are some parts that would prevent me from playing this around the kiddo’s. I find that is an issue for me with a lot of rap oriented songs. I have to be mindful of the language around the small ones. The vocals make me very curious because I can tell this cat can sing but they opted to use a filter on his voice. The story is really good and one I think most people can connect with on a base level. Especially that part about “I promise we gonna find a way”. I thought that was a pretty powerful message. Musically I would like to hear it with a full band. By now that should be expected from me. Now that being said I thought this one had some interesting modulations.  I get live with that because I didn’t get bored listening to it.
This one is making me wish I had more rap/R&B in my personal collection. I would listen to this when I’m by myself or with my friends. I don’t have much any thing in my stash that would really work well with a track like this. As always I’l be sharing this with some of my rap/R&B friends. I’m fairly confident that this will be well received by all of them.
This may be the song that makes me love instrumentals. Normally I’m one of those people who likes every song to have a lyrical content. This song however would not be as awesome as it is with them. I’m in love with that low slung bass line. It’s got an awesome percussion groove and the guitar work is pretty damn stellar. Sure there is some serious hot dogging with the guitar riffs, but if you could do it wouldn’t you? It’s not often that a bass line gets as much attention as this one does, so good on you for that. I gotta say the combination of fiery licks, a fat ass bass line and the drum track from hell all come together to make this song a winner.
I’m fascinated with this band. Despite the lack of lyrics I find it to be a very visual song. I can see this being used in a soundtrack for every thing from car chases to “oh no the killer is going to get me” scenes. I would love to pair this up with some Avenged Sevenfold and Agony In The Garden. Not because these bands are known for their instrumental works, but more the overall tone of their music. Metal fans should really make sure they check this band out.
There are many times we find ourselves at a loss for words; whether it be a difficulty to express an emotion, an impossibility to convey an image, or simply because an idea cannot be translated from one language to another.
Angels on the Battlefield breaks through this barrier by speaking instrumentally. Melody and rhythm, not being bound by language or human speech, is the perfect medium to open the mind and introduce us to the imagination.
From soaring dragons, to flesh eating zombies, the loss of love, and the pursuit of dreams, Angels on the Battlefield provides the canvas and lets you paint the story through their Epic Instrumental Metal.
The Band is:

This song has a good flow going for it. Kilo has a great voice and makes no apology for his work. While his lyrics are harsh and raw the musical composition is a slow tempo, mellow style. I can’t quite tell if we are listening to synth music but regardless I do like the lilting quality of the music. It brings a bit of softness to what is otherwise a rather hard song.
I’m finding it difficult to connect with the lyrics because this just isn’t my life’s experience. I did like the reference to the Cosby’s, it gave me a good little giggle. In all honesty the story Kilo is telling me scares the hell outta me. I can’t say this is going on my playlist. Not because it wasn’t a good rap song, in fact I intend to share this track (as usual) with my rap friends. I’m interested to hear some other perspectives on this track.
Who They Are:
Straight out the eastside of Asheville, North Carolina, 25 year old Kilo has been rocking a mic since he was 16.. Â After a long hiatus due to personal reasons, Kilo returned to music with a new state of mind. With a bright future still ahead for him, he will continue to improve his skills and fan base one day at a time.. Stay tuned people…
So one again I find myself in a position where I feel I need to give you a disclaimer before the review. I am very familiar with Anthony’s music and have been for a while. I was first introduced to his vocals on BTVS (doing a cover of this very song and Once More With Feeling) then via Youtube videos of his stint as Frank N Furter in Rocky all the way up to Repo! The Genetic Opera. I love his voice quite a lot so getting to do this review with his blessing is a real treat for me.
If youre expecting a note by note cover of The Who’s song you may be disappointing. This is a cover that was inspired by the original and it’s beautiful. Head’s vocals treat these lyrics like they are his life’s story. To me that is what makes this cover as perfect as it is. I’ve heard plenty of covers that were good, but the artists didn’t really make it their own. Anthony didn’t have that problem at all. I am in love with his added runs and drops. The emotion that he sings with is almost more than I can take. He has a great range and with the piano accompaniment this song has such a powerful punch that you have to listen to it to really understand what’s happening.
OK, so I totally expected this to be like the cover he did on Buffy. I was happily surprised by the modifications to the original arrangement. Singing it with a single piano was nothing short of brilliant. I need to get a copy of this song to put on my phone so I can take it with me and share it with the world. Scoff if you want but prior to this my favorite cover of this song was done by Limp Bizkit. In that case I really felt Durst was able to really dig and emotionally connect with the song, turning out a superior song. I have to say that Anthony Stewart Head’s interpretation of the song was a beautiful surprise, taking the song in directions I’d never thought of.
In theatre, his credits include Peter Shafferâs Yonadab at the National, Rupert Cadell in Rope at Chichester and Wyndhams and, more recently, Six Degrees of Separation at the Old Vic.
Anthony is the youngest son of parents, Seafield Head (a documentary filmmaker) and Helen Shingler (an actress). He is the younger brother of Murray Head, who originated the role of Judas in âJesus Christ Superstarâ. Anthony himself has appeared in a number of musicals, such as Godspell, Chess and The Rocky Horror Show, and has recorded a variety of music over the years.
Anthonyâs long term partner is well known animal behaviour counsellor, Sarah Fisher, whom he met at the National, when he was performing in Dantonâs Death. They are parents to actresses Emily and Daisy Head.
