The Pixies, EP-1: Album Review
There’s a line in the recent Pixies single ‘Bag Boy,’ that kind of summarizes the sudden EP of new recorded music for the first time in 22 years. “So disappointed I was/that I had to make small talk with you/I’m not feelin’ your buzz/I only smell your crock of stew.” I mean, let’s review the facts here. The band reunited in 2003 and has toured off and on over the past 10 years, flirting with the idea of ‘will they […]

DevilDriver, Winter Kills: Album Review
Dez Fafara and the boys are back with another blessed hellride on DevilDriver’s sixth album, Winter Kills. ‘You sold me out, I sold myself in/you dealt me out/I dealt myself in…’ or so the story goes on ‘The Oath of The Abyss,’ the lead-off track, Dez’s signature howl in full horn’s up form. ‘Ruthless,’ follows with opening guitars reminiscent of The Smashing Pumpkins 2007 single, ‘Tarantula,’ before launching into an almost Coal Chamber-like sing-along verse course verse. It’s definitely one of […]
