MEMORIAL DAY MASSIVE

Two albums that came out this weekend have given me a massive erocktion.  Two of my favorite bands have released pure gems this Memorial Day weekend, and I can't stop listening.

BLACK MOUNTAIN: DESTROYER

Amber and Josh seem to have been replaced, but you knew Stephen wouldn't return with less than excellent talent.  Destroyer is a top-rate release, and here is a live performance of "Boogie Lover", which is likely to be a fan favorite until the band retires.  

Check it out:

The whole album is awesome and catchy. 

Black Mountain is:

Stephen McBean: guitar & vocals

Arjan Miranda: bass

Rachel Fannan: vocals

Adam Bulgasem: drums

Jeremy Schmidt.: keyboards

SALEM'S BEND: SUPERCLUSTER

Here's a video for the opening track, "Spaceduster".  Reminiscent of Clutch's "Spacegrass" at the beginning, don't you think?

Salem's Bend clearly loves the most awesome rock from the 70's, and puts so much love into perpetuating it as to create something truly impressive.  
Supercluster is must-have rock and roll, period.

Salem's Bend are 

Bobby Parker - Guitar and Vocals
Kevin Schofield - Bass and vocals
Zach Huling - Drums

You can buy both Destroyer and Supercluster on bandcamp.

I would not be able to drink great beer, listen to great music and share it with you, if it were not for the sacrifices of all members of the armed forces, and their families.  

Respect and gratitude to you.

Back next weekend
