Blue Rumble’s debut album is a glorious throwback to the period in the late ’60s and early ’70s when acid rock and prog first began to mutate together into the beast that would eventually come to be known as metal. Hailing from Zürich, Switzerland, Blues Rumble features Andrea Gelardini on guitar, Sébastien Métens on bass,Continue reading “Blue Rumble – s/t”

Nightcap at Wits’ End is Garcia Peoples at their highest evolved state yet. Following three scintillating records released within two years of each other—and an insanely busy gigging schedule (prior to COVID, of course)—you’d think these guys would want a rest.

Over the last several decades, the group slowly developed a cult following, despite the fact that they only officially released aContinue reading “Mandrake Paddle Steamer – Pandemonium Shadow Show”
