Red Fang Part Dos

So I posted Red Fang's video for Prehistoric Dog, which in case if you didn't see find it on youtube right now. They are so great in their videos that I just had to post a couple new ones. Sludge metal at it's finest...harder than Queens of the Stone Age and a whole lot uglier.





Seriously now, even if you've already seen it go watch Prehistoric Dog again...oh fine, just, here it is..."Fireball! Fireball!"

NOFX

Warped Tour, Pomona, Moscow.... I've seen these guys all over the world and i hope they never give up. They are great. My favorite was seeing them in Moscow and half way through the show i realized that I was the only one laughing at their jokes. Silly Russians.

Psychobilly

Here's a little post to a couple of my favorite psychobilly bands. The first being none other than Tiger Army...man these guys are unreal. Couldn't love them more. If the backing vocals on some tracks sound familiar it's because these guys all grew up with Davey Havok and the AFI boys in Ukiah, California. In fact the now former bass player for TA, Geoff Kresge (now current Horrorpops guitarist and Viva Hate bassist) was AFI's bassist for the first few albums. TIGER ARMY NEVER DIE!!!







Next up is another great crew from Copenhagen, Denmark, the Nekromantix. Dude has his very own custom built coffin shapped double upright with a crucifix for the key box...doesn't get anymore halloween than that! I've seen these guys a few times live and every time they simply blew me away.

GB...and Minor Threat

Dude, there are very, very few bands that are closer to my heart than Gorilla Biscuits. Seriously probably the greatest hardcore band to come out of NY...sorry SOIA. When I was a kid growing up we used to go to Lake Powell every year with the Adams and the two longest held traditions of those trips were stealing one of the girls cameras to take all sorts of pictures of our bare asses and the second was a yearly Gorilla Biscuits lip sync on the houseboat.







This is probably the only other band that comes close. Ian is seriously the man and I love any band that he's pretty well been associated with Egg Hunt, The Evens, and of course the mighty Fugazi.



Raised Fist

Talk about a band who's songs all sound exactly the same and yet I don't know what it is but I could just listen to them over and over again. These guys are on Sweden I believe and are or at least were on the Swedish Epitaph imprint label Burning Heart Records. Great, great stuff.

Gallows

This song gets the ol' blood flowing like no other. I'm convinced that there is not another 150 lbs in this world that is badder and more pissed off than Frank Carter. They've got a new vocalist these days that, while good enough, sure is no Frank.

Ten Foot Pole and Scott Radinsky

Well since QAE opted to discuss both Radinsky bands but not include video from the other I figured I would finish the job for him. This band was great and I absolutely loved Rev. The new singer didn't quite do it for me and I pretty well stopped following them after Scott left.



And just for good measure here's one from his original band Scared Straight whom later went on to change their name to Ten Foot Pole because they didn't want to be affiliated with straight edge. More hardcore-ish and less skate punkish.

Pulley and Scott Radinsky

Tough to beat Pulley. This song got me hooked years ago after Scott Radinsky left Ten Foot Pole. He's not the typical punk; MLB pitcher, current pitching coach for the Cleveland Indians, etc. Intriguing guy, and really interesting live. I know that when he was starting Pulley he was pitching for the Dodgers. I love old TFP, old and new Pulley. Enjoy.
