Metal Monday Volume 134 (8.5.13)

by Jesse on Aug 5, 2013 • No Comments

I know I should be writing about the 10th anniversary show of Boston’s Cocked N’ Loaded and the heroic feat of awesomeness that frontman Kyle Neeson performed after a mid-set injury but the last show Motherboar ever played is the focus of this week’s column because IT WAS THE LAST SHOW MOTHERBOAR WILL EVER PLAY!!!!! For the uninitiated, Motherboar is a mix of Clutch and Mastodon with some good old party vibes thrown in for good measure (Think I Get […]

Gozu, “Bald Bull”, The Singles Bar Review

by Jesse on Dec 27, 2012 • No Comments

There is a lot of great stoner metal coming out of the Boston area that people need to pay attention to. Gozu is one such band and their latest single “Bald Bull” off the forthcoming The Fury Of A Patient Man full length is sure to be proof of that. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Gozu beyond the fact that their last album, Locust Season , reminded me of Kyuss and completely kicked ass. Listening to the riff driven loveliness of “Bald Bull” with Marc […]

It’s that time of year again where everyone starts posting their best of lists and seeing as how there are very few metal releases due in the next few weeks, I figured I’d lead the herd and post my Top 11 of ’11 (Catchy, right?). But to add to the suspense, I’ve broken it up into two parts so you’ll just haaaaave to come back next week (You’ll come back, won’t you?). Without further adieu, here’s numbers 11 through 6 […]

You’re welcome. I do not buy a lot of magazines anymore. All of my music news I can usually get from the interwebs and I’m totally fine with that. I was out and about the other day and saw the latest issue of AP which was the annual “100 bands you need to know in 2011” and like a sucker, I bought it. At the very least, this issue is good for laugh and I get to make myself feel […]

How do you go about reviewing a video? Do you pick apart the song choice? How the concept goes with the song? Production values? Lucky for me, none of the already mentioned topics were a cause for concern with Motherboar’s adventurous video for “Croctosquatch”. The lead song off of their latest, The Beast Becomes the Servant, “Croctosquatch” is a beast of a song on its own. Give the song some great visuals (Thanks to Trifecta+ Entertainment ) and this beast is unstoppable. First […]

In honor of me not getting my ass out of a funk and heading over to Great Scott on Saturday night for their record release show, I present to you Motherboar’s The Beast Becomes The Servant review.

The Beast… is definitely the one you need to check out […]
