Lecherous Gaze

"Rising from the ashes of the almighty ANNIHILATION TIME is Lecherous Gaze, taking the bombastic riffology and adding some Joey Ramone/Jim Morrison/Glenn Danzig type soulful vox. For fans of rock and fucking roll!" - Lumbro

Seriously, riffology to the max. Some of the best music the dudes ever wrote, and while the vocals are considerably different from Annihilation Time, I really dig what the new fella lays on it. But GODDAMN THOSE RIFFS!

Spirit Caravan - Dreamwheel EP

The ultimate stoner rock band. Black Sabbath meets Jimi Hendrix. If you aren't familiar with Wino, you are out of touch with pulse of the community, and this is a perfect introduction to the man's musical genius. Riff after riff, panty-tearing solo after panty tearing solo, this record only lets up momentarily, just long enough for Wino to build up a psychedelic wall of fuzz, delay, and reverb, only to crash through with his signature brand of widdly-wah-wah, maniacally feeding on your eardrums like ravenous wolverines to a fresh kill. If you like riffs and rock 'n' roll, and especially if you like those things... ON WEEEED... then get this record right now. Muhfuggin funktagious jams await.

Dreamwheel, Uh-yes indeed.

Weekend Nachos

I'm hard to please when it comes to hardcore. In the shitty town I live in, there was a short lived Collective venue, which was one of only two worthwhile venues for independent music this place ever had, and I sat through many a sloppy, contrived hardcore band. So to gain my attention and respect, you gotta be doing something groundbreaking or unique. That being said, Weekend Nachos has snagged me by the nuts. They play a gnarly, rifftacular blend of classic, balls to the wall hardcore and power violence, with occasional shifts into the slow and sludgy.  Lum told me about these dudes months ago, but when I finally listened to their newest release, the Black Earth 7" out on Relapse Records, I was immediately hooked. So for your listening pleasure, here's most, if not all, of Weekend Nachos jams in 2 easy files. Fuckin' dig it.

Annihilation Time mega post!!!

If you don't know this band, then fuck you and download this shit. This music is the soundtrack to breaking edge and starting the downward slide into booze, drugs and amazing music. Aren't you glad we have the entire recorded output?

In chronological order:

Annihilation Time I lp
Bad Reputation ep
Annihilation Time II lp
Cosmic Unconsciousness ep
Annihilation Time III: Tales From the Ancient Age

The band started in 2001 playing hardcore heavily influenced by latter era Flag and Bl'ast. The first record even had Pettibon artwork! The Bad Reputation ep would introduce the band's new singer as well as the shift in sound to a more rifftacular area, going so far as to cover Thin Lizzy.

The Next full length would be an expansion on the sounds created on the previous ep. Gnarly art adorns the cover and gnarly riffs assault your ears with mostly new songs, a couple re-recorded and a Pink Fairies cover.

Cosmic Unconsciousness was released next and is jamtacular in all the same ways as the second LP. The final release was "Tales of the Ancient Age" and is a rager from start to fucking finish. Riffs, this record has them.
