New Withered Hand LP

https://witheredhand.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-love-album-2023 ;

If this isn't my favourite record of 2023 this will be a very good year. Its incredible.

The new Paramore album is excellent. I've not listened to them in the past so don't know much about them, but I loved the 'This is Why' single last year and the album carries this style on. The guitar tones are so good, kind of a fendery post-punk/new wave clean/break up sound, with quieter lush modulated sections.

Chapter Four by Avenged Sevenfold

It's a band I've never really listened to before. I started to listen to them this past month after watching a short YouTube documentary about their drummer The Rev (James Owen Sullivan). I started with their 2nd album Waking The Fallen as it was one mentioned on the YouTube documentary that The Rev played & contributed to the songwriting on.

I was expecting the vocals to be quite different tbh, they are definitely more melodic than I thought.

Green Lung
saw them support Clutch before Xmas and was really impressed so having a Green Lung binge on yoootube today.
Gotta say I’m even more impressed the more I hear, heavy ,doomy,
sabbathy, (even a bit Uriah Heepy to me)
Brilliant stuff

Its Queen. Lots and lots of early Queen

I love Green Lung. Love the references to folk horror and things like Tombs of the Blind Dead. I've got a Blu-ray edition of The Wicker Man with woodcut-style artwork by the guy who did the cover of Woodland Rites.

I have a print by the artist hanging in my hallway. I've not seen them live yet, but Scott has seen my band so perhaps I ought to at some point,

Alternating between Rush’s Moving Pictures and Iron Maiden’s Killers. Wife isn’t happy as I’m drowning out her Lana Del Ray

Killers is probably my fav Maiden album

Currently i am mostly been listening to Anemone - The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Vintage65 · February 2023

I don't know what they are singing about but the music sounds interesting.

파란노을 (Parannoul)

Philly_Q · February 2023

I'm listening to the early Dio albums. On original release in the 1980s, I bought the first four studio albums as they came out, but increasingly lost interest and I don't think I have any of the later ones.

I absolutely loved - and still love - Holy Diver and I've listened to it hundreds of times over the years. Somehow the subsequent albums never had anywhere near the same impact on me... and listening to them now I can see why. There is some great stuff on The Last in Line and Sacred Heart, but some of the songs are really weak.

Right now I'm listening to the fifth album, Lock Up the Wolves, for the first time ever! There are still lots of "oh, that sounds like..." moments, but young guitarist Rowan Robertson (in his only album with the band) adds a heavier, slightly bluesy swagger which I really like, and the keyboards take more of a back seat.

Philly_Q · February 2023

Delain - Dark Waters

I'm not really keen on symphonic metal and I haven't heard much of Delain's earlier material, but somehow I've latched on to this one. The songs are very catchy and melodic - they all sound very similar, to be absolutely honest - but new singer Diana Leah has a stunningly beautiful voice.

Black Country Radio.

My youngest son is trying to get a slot on there and also get paid to sort their podcasting. In the meantime he’s guest presenter for an hour. So the delights of Taylor Swift, George Ezra and ads for van servicing as well as my son’s velvet YamYam tones.

Vintage65 · March 2023

This is quite good if you want a break from guitar music, it needs a bit of volume though.

CHRISB50 · March 2023

Been hammering Master of Puppets this week.

Such a great album.

jdgm · March 2023

"Tributaries" - Larry Coryell, JOE Beck and John Scofield

"There And Back" - JEFF Beck. I haven't played this for ages. The 2nd track "Too Much To Lose" has a 30-second solo which is still one of the most brilliant solos I've ever heard.

Just listening to 6Music, Marc Riley show, well just because...
He's played a couple of tracks from David Bowie's 16/05/1972 Ziggy Stardust BBC session.
Moonage Daygream & Suffragette City.
Fuck me, the sound quality & playing were amazing, the band were so tight that it was like listening to the album.
Not all old stuff is good, but some certainly is. BBC sound engineers are pretty damn good generally too.
Just found this, no idea of the quality but enjoy, ignore, whatever...

I was just thinking the same thing about the BBC!

Small Faces Ultimate Collection. I really like them, and this just reinforces that. Great songs with loads of humour played with real personality and power.

Agree & that's from the perspective of a Joy Division / Martin Hannett fan.

I'm an early Bowie fan too, both are big influences on later music.

Puppet. Dreadful cheesy nonsense - like if Andrew WK bought a synth and vocoder. Brilliant. You will all hate it.

In tribute to Emp’s current guitar discussion.

equalsql · March 2023

Today I am listening to CSN and David Crosby's first solo outing 'If Only I Could Remember My Name'.
I'd purchased his last three albums last year cos I was blown away by how good they were so hix death recently was particularly poignant.

kossofffan · March 2023

Currently playing, ‘From Nothing To A Little Bit More’ by the Wigan indie band, The Lathums.
Really enjoyable, please give it a listen
