Been very busy of late. Working, drinking, running, cycling, eating, etc.
Some nice reminiscents in my life at the moment. Mainly in the form of the new rancid album Let the Dominoes Fall and Spinerette, Brody Dalles new band. I have also been getting involved in some great CDs from Nathan Fake, James Holden and Herve. More about that later tho.
The Rancid Album is not exactly a mind expanding experience having some of the most cliched punk lyrics you will ever hear and being a pretty 'standard' Rancid album. Still there are some great tunes if thats what your into. After a first listen the tracks that stood out were Disconnected, Skull city and up to no good. But will have to give it a couple more listens before I get my head round it fully. Anyway watch this video for a cool maknig of the album from NexuizBOTMirio cool interviews with the band and a bit of a history there.
Still its rancid and it has got me back listening to the classic Rancid that still makes me love life.
Spinerette got pointed out to me by Flavourpill which is a cool trend watching site based in the States and London chk it out http://flavorpill.com/
They are Brody Dalles, previously Tim Armstrongs missus and Distillers front woman, new project. You can listen to the whole of their new ep at http://spinnerettemusic.com/listen or watch the video here. My opinion is that she still looks fucking hot and you can judge the tunes yourself
Enjoy
