October Roundup – Son of Buzzi, The Happy Hour Band, Forgotten Bottom & More.
There is no silence this October. Only new music. So let’s dive straight into this month’s Roundup! Son of Buzzi – The Ghost Son of Buzzi is more of a multimedia art installation than a band.

The Other Sun – Horizon Between The Eyes
The Other Sun have collected a wide variety of vastly different sounds and moods and Frankensteined them together into a wholly unique creation, and squeezed it all onto this single tape.

The band’s latest 7”, released on These Are Not Records, kicks like a revved-up mutant amalgamation of The Wipers, Hüsker Dü and Ty Segall. Released originally as digital-only bonus tracks on the Seattle group’s recent (and excellent) 7 (or 8) album, OldContinue reading “Kinski – Old Gold/Loved By You [Alternative Rock/Indie Rock/Stoner Rock]”
Zong- Zong [Acid Rock]
Like a towering dust storm blotting out the sun, Zong’s self-titled record is a murky and monstrous force that will leave you feeling very small and defenseless.

Mountain, Hotel Wrecking City Traders and Smoke, Zong pushes the limits of fuzz guitar with a totally overdrivenContinue reading “Zong- Zong [Acid Rock]”
Hotel Wrecking City Traders-Passage to Agartha [Heavy Acid Rock/Desert Rock/Stoner Rock]
Australia seems to be the most fertile ground for all kinds of psychedelically-inclined music these days. Melbourne’s Hotel Wrecking City Traders is one of many great examples of this and for proof, just check out their latest record, Passage to Agartha.
