There have been so many new songs released over the past few weeks and I have been seriously slacking on checking them out. Thus, you get a bunch all at once. Go check these out for yourselves!

Pig & Whisky Festival
Social media really is influential. Since I follow White Reaper, all of its members, and even some key touring folks, of course I am seeing them post from all sorts of shows! And yes, I did just see them at the end of May, but my ears miss their music in a live setting, so after some scrolling through their tour dates I found that they were set to play a small barbeque festival in a suburb of Detroit. That’s only three hours and some change away! So I convinced my BBQ-loving friend to tag along for the ride.
Read moreThe Pink Spiders – FREAKAZOID!, Album Review
I have had The Pink Spiders on rotation in my life since Teenage Graffiti came out, but this is the first time I’ve returned to new music from them in earnest. I know there was a bit of a rocky history as far as permanent members went beyond lead singer Matt Friction, so I’d say that’s the reason I never quite stayed current with them.
Read moreQueens of the Stone Age – In Times New Roman…, Album Review
How are we getting so lucky with so much good new music?! The rare gifts of the pandemic are still plenty it seems, and I’m not complaining. It’s been six years since Queens of the Stone Age have released new music, but they sure managed to deliver with In Times New Roman…

As far as tours go, the Creative Control one was pretty damn stacked!
Read moreFoo Fighters – But Here We Are, Album Review
Even though I just saw the Foo Fighters a few weeks ago, I couldn’t bring myself to immediately listen to their latest record, But Here We Are, coming just slightly over a year after the passing of the band’s longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins. Then I learned that Dave Grohl’s mother passed a month after Taylor and I knew I was going to be in for a gut-punch of a record.
Read moreThe Used – Toxic Positivity, Album Review
All hail to the emo band from my youth! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen The Used over the years, but several of their records remain my favorites to this day. With that being said, a lot of their newer material hadn’t really made it into my radar until their latest, Toxic Positivity, was announced.
Read moreSonic Temple 2023
After undergoing a name change from Rock on the Range to Sonic Temple for the 2019 edition, the pandemic then decided to shut it down for the next three years! And let me tell you what, that 2020 lineup was fire. But anyways, it’s back and I couldn’t have been happier this extended holiday weekend.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Sonic Temple Edition
Sonic Temple is back! So you get two drawings from the vault (also, I’ve been too lazy to finish anything recently). Can’t wait to see Queens of the Stone Age for the first time and Avatar for probably the sixth 🙂
Read moreGhost – Phantomime EP Review
I guess not all that long ago Ghost promised new music by the time they were set to head back to the EU for the second leg of their tour. Turns out that new music was an EP full of cover songs! I love a good cover song and I can assure you this is some good, good stuff.
