Guys. In a week I'm heading to this festival.
I want to ask you if you can recommend to check out any of these less known bands?
Most of these less known bands are brand new ones to me, and I will not have time and energy to check out everything. So now I'm asking which ones you would check out?

Rival Sons play hardrock like it should be played. With balls!

Chaos- there is a concerning lack of Scandinavian death punk on here.

Mastodon. Mastodon. Mastodon.

If you want less rock and more experimental, highly recommend Animals as Leaders

I am a huge Mastodon fan! I love how they have 3 lead singers. Oblivion is probably my favorite song.

Another great modern rock band is Heaven's Basement. Just a pure modern hard rock band.

Red Fang are great too

I'm been a big Fu Manchu fan for years great pure hard rock.

I was not aware that Extreme was a hairmetal band even though I had heard this song many times.

Its not rock and I always thought it was sappy when younger. But I love the harmonies on it currently its been stuck in my head for the last few days.

Nice bass line and catcy. Plus midgets.

The guitarist reminds me of Van Halen here.

Ulterior, sleazy machine beat rock n roll from London!

Anything of the traveling wilburies. Look at the lineup. Roy Orbison, George Harison, Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.

My favorite rock band, mewithoutYou, recently released a single from their upcoming album:

The lyrics are as brilliant as always:


Before the Red Sea flood beneath a cornhusk dawn
we bid the Elkhorn run to a locomotive psalm
until the pale horse comes along a rail withdrawn
clanging loudward on. clanging loudward on.
We bid the Elkhorn run until the red cow comes
I was a steadfast son, with thoughts and hooves divided
and on the arid ground of thirsty Zion’s hill
cold waters tumbled down where the staff of Moses fell

what Pharaoh spell, what picture holds us now?

Behold the snake of brass, the wind was blowing backwards
Behold a golden calf, blighted leaves of Law
O for the land we knew before the frogs withdrew
in the fragrant pomegranate blooms where the tender locust flew

Behind the milk-white tombs, behind the milk-tank cars,
we passed the North Platte yard on silver tracks unguarded,
out past the sambar herds, out to the outcast birds
in the rust of open wagons, Lo! the Blessed Virgin’s likeness
We watched the green figs fall from the Nebraska sky
How much were even passive things responsive to our watchful eye!
And let there be no doubt: so many figs and pictures hold us

in the wells of livestock vans with shells and sidewalk sands
iron mixed with oxygen as per the laws of chemistry and chance
a shape was roughly human, it was only roughly human
apparition eyes apparition eyes Knock Apparition Knock eyes apparition eyes

Was he a violent man? Well, he had his genocidal moments...
Or penned by fiction’s hand? To whom could that phrase not apply?
How much are even lifeless sounds responsive to our listening ear!
what Pharoah now or Jew or picture holds us here?




Above is the cover art to Pale Horses, which is due on 6/16. I'm anticipating another classic.

QOTSA got a couple mentions already, I've been loving "...Like Clockwork" lately. It took a while to grow on me, but there's only 2 songs I'm not that fond of, the rest I love. The music is good and the lyrics I can relate to.

This one speaks to me lately

Quote:

"I Sat By The Ocean"

I sat by the ocean and drank a potion, baby to erase you.
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn’t face you.
There ain’t no use in crying. It doesn’t change anything,
So baby what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize.
Maybe, I don’t need them too.

Imagine I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one

You, me and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.

There’s nowhere to run away.
Said,
“Boy if you want love, you’ll have to go and find it with someone new.”
“Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it’s really you?”
Lies are a funny thing.
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view.

Imagine I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one

You, me and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.

You, me and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.

Into the night,
Left with nowhere to hide.

Closer and closer.
We’re crashing ships in the night

The Eagles have a two-part documentary called History of the Eagles up on Netflix. Highly recommend it if you're a fan.

Foxy Shazam is about as pure as a modern rock band gets. They're the queen of the modern era.
