Ken Burns

Ken Burns was a passionate and masterfully crafted screamo band from the Boston area.  This short-lived outfit had great vocals and the music is top notch with angular guitar work, moody bass grooves and intricate drum delivery.  These guys were too good to last I suppose.  Damn shame.  Snag their two phenomenal releases below and DIG!

Alter

Baltimore, Maryland's Alter is a promising outfit that constructs beautifully atmospheric shoegaze-infused post-rock.  These guys dropped a gripping debut EP that really absorbed me back in 2015 and now they've unleashed an undeniably epic full length LP.  This trio creates layers of sounds with trance-inducing guitar noise, blanketing bass tones, driving percussion and monotone-yet-melodic vocal harmonies.  Snag everything below.  DIG!

God's America

Las Vegas, Nevada's God's America plays demolishing grind-violence that's loud, heavy and fast as all hell.   These dudes create a classic powerviolence sound with added heaviness and mammoth volumes.  Shred along to walls of buzzing guitar riffs, rumbling bass tones, pummeling drum insanity and angered vocal howls.  This band is extremely creative and dropped an incredible LP last year that needs to be heard.  Snag everything below and DIG!

Uranium Club

Uranium Club (or The Minneapolis Uranium Club) is a weird concoction of 70's rock and punk styles with a heavy dose of 80's new wave. This shit is catchy and odd with twangy guitars that come damn close to clashing throughout, all the while giving the listener a delightful ear worm. The general public must agree because their debut self-released CS got a face lift with a vinyl release.  These dudes released a couple of new teasers and a long-awaited follow up album that're incredibly fun and will indeed get stuck in your brain.  Huge thanks to Jimmy for doing all the great things he does.  Snag this gold below and Dig!
