Things that are good: the mid-’90s Seattle Supersonics, the bit in Independence Day when you realise how fucking nuts Randy Quaid ended up being, and Atlanta metal Mastodon.
You can find out just how good I think they are in my feature review of their new album Emperor of Sand for Rolling Stone — in length — right here.
Hint: Go and listen/buy it right now.
Northlane are really good at making metalcore, and their fourth album Mesmer is no different. Read my review of it for Rolling Stone right here….
“The Haze is covered in an oily, sweaty sheen and underpinned by a riotous, sneering meth-punk energy…” read the rest of my review of the new Pulled Apart By Horses album, The Haze, for Rolling Stone right here.
If you ask me ‘yo, what was good in February 2017’ in, like, 5, 10 or 15 years time, I’ll probably say ‘that sick Meat Wave record called The Incessant’.
Would recommend… And do. Read my review of it for Rolling Stone right here.
Ocean Grove rule. If Sunk Loto did a bunch of meth and realllllly loved Death Grips, they still wouldn’t put out something anywhere near as weird and brilliantly bonkers as The Rhapsody Tapes. Read my entire review of the album for Rolling Stone right here.
