Playlist: punk nostalgia, twisted psychedelia
Rubber Oh – The Well Rubber Oh, which has a new album out on Friday, is a side project from Pigsx7 guitarist and producer Sam Grant. But while the ‘day job’ involves some hard-hitting shredding, this is a different beast. The scope is cinematic at times; bits of The Well could soundtrack a twisted take on some kind of medieval epic, while another preview track, Bloodlust, uses strings and chorus to set up a post-psychedelic sound world that takes the Summer of Love and gives it a kick up the backside.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.

CARSEX Level Up With Scorching New Track "Crooked Canvas"
CARSEX is an edgy, punk and metal influenced band out of Long Beach, CA. They have leveled up their game with the release of their new single “Crooked Canvas”. The song, which was produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies) is their clarion call for people to pay attention to who – and what – they support. They rail against blind fealty to leaders of political parties, and just following the herd to whoever the latest cult personality is. They want to make people aware of what they are buying into, when they are buying the latest buzzy thing.

The Day When I Saw Green Day
While I got into Green Day relatively late, I did get to GelreDome venue for my first Green Day concert on time. That didn't stop me from still almost not getting to see them at all, but I digress. I did see them and it was awesome. So, with emotions still fresh from that day, I wanted to create a little microcosm of why I love this band, my rocky road towards finally getting to see them live and, of course, what an absolutely epic of an experience a Green Day concert is.
