WolveSpirit

From Zigzagwanderer, a really kick-ass German stoner band, WolveSpirit......read about them here, and
make sure and check this it's really cool!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WolveSpirit are a metal/stoner rock band from Germany who play old school rock and roll. Drawing the line somewhere between old school singers such as Carly Simon and classic rock such as AC/DC, Wolvespirit but their own spin on how rock and roll should be played.

Colourful and psychedelic album artwork along with a colourful and psychedelic sound compliments each other perfectly whilst the songs are the icing on this rock and roll cake. Wolvespirit mix the edge of a female vocalist with the sheer force of a tight rock and roll band to create something that reeks of goodness.

The Buttertones

here's a cool John N submission, The Buttertones' "Gravedigging".....good 60's retro-surf rock, and who couldn't love a track called "Sadie's a Sadist"?

about

The Buttertones’ Gravedigging is more a movie waiting to
happen than an album—or a soundtrack just waiting to inspire a
movie, with scene after scene of action, tension and release set
to a sound that takes everything good and true about American
music before the Beatles prettied it up (surf, sweet soul, the boss
saxophone-overdrive garage of the Northwest wailers like the
Sonics) and matches it to punk energy, post-punk precision and
the kind of personality that blows the circuit-breakers at a
backyard party.

The Buttertones started their own journey in 2011 as three music
school misfits (or drinking buddies, they say) in the heart of
Hollywood, happy to learn how to to play, produce and perform
but less excited about frequent go-nowhere conversations with
classmates who had little interest in either the past or the future
of music. So that’s why bassist Sean Redman (also a former
member of Cherry Glazerr) felt like he’d lucked out when he
found guitarist/singer Richard Araiza and
drummer/polyinstrumentalist Modesto ‘Cobi’ Cobiån: “Cobi and
Richard were the first guys I met where I thought they knew
what they were talking about,” he says. “They had good
influences—they weren’t just trying to pander.

Their first rehearsals were in a Hollywood bedroom where
Redman was living on an air mattress, then Araiza finally locked
down Boettcher—who he’d often see responding to the same
casting calls as he did—to replace another guitarist who was
transitioning back to family life even as the Buttertones prepared
their debut release, a self-titled cassette on L.A.’s garage-pop
Lolipop label. Then they absorbed sax player London Guzmån
(formerly in Long Beach’s Wild Pack of Canaries with breakout
local Rudy De Anda) after spotting him at a local DJ night,
recruiting him for their sophomore album American Brunch—and
discovering the kind chemistry they didn't know they were
missing. Says Araiza: “We’re proud to be a legit band. It’s a very
collaborative process—we rely on each other. I feel that’s rare
nowadays, especially with rock bands.”

When it came time to make Gravedigging—the follow-up to a special
issue 8” for Innovative, which ended up pulling them aboard the
label full-time—they knew it was time to go deeper and get dirtier.
Recorded at Jazzcats studio in LongBeach—home-away-from-home
to fellow Innovative Leisure artists Hanni El Khatib, Tijuana Panthers,
Wall of Death and more—in the spring of 2016, the sessions were
supercharged with hard-won live experience from endless
street-level shows and relentless midnight-to-six rehearsals at the
Buttertones lock-out, then focused even further by the insight and
vision of producer Jonny Bell. (“Jonny pushed us like crazy,” says
Boettcher. “He had so many ideas all he time.”)

Think of it this way: you might not yet know how the band that made
Gravedigging is going to land—but you know it’s going to hit hard.

OHHMS

Another Fabio choice, this one being some loud UK doom metal.....this one I haven't listened to yet, so we'll
all find out together I guess.

Vortical Minds

A damn good slab of Italian power trio rock......Fabio 
(Who else?) 
sends this one, along with a review.....the reviewer compares them to the Groundhogs, a comparison I find both accurate and self-speaking:


Italy, is a country that trades heavily on all things "retro",  Italian movies, fashion, art, motorbikes and cars are all delivered with an eye for the future but with a foot planted firmly in the past, so it comes as no surprise that this trend for making "old" the new "new" extends into the Italian underground music scene too.
Vortical Minds, a trio from Rome consisting of Vule Rodic (bass & vocals),  Gianluca Paladino  (guitar/backing vocals) and Gianluca Ortu (drums/backing vocals),take their lead from the proto-metal/ hard rock of the likes of Grand Funk Railroad, Beck, Bogart &Appice and Cactus and bring it up to date with the addition of a little 90's fuzz and 00's psych colouring, creating a groove that is both old and new in equal measure, something that becomes glaring obvious when listening to the trio's debut EP "The Orange Box"
"Maybe But Not Today" opens with what can only be described as a "vintage" guitar sound Paladino evoking, through his choice of notes, feel and effects, memories of  such six string luminaries as Free's Paul Kossoff and early era Jeff Beck as well as a smattering of those of  leser known mortals Buffalo's John Baxter and Blue Cheer'sLeigh Stephens. Ortu and Rodic underpin this tsunami of warmly fuzzed riffage with a masterclass in pummelling rhythm, Ortu's thunderous drums dictating the beat while Rodic handles the low end with big booming bass runs and fills as well as providing cool, perfectly delivered vocals.
"I Bought Myself" follows and takes a detour into psychedelic blues country with Paladino chopping out crunching stoner blues refrains then laying out on reverb soaked guitar arpeggios that shimmer and shake over and around Ortu and Rodic's sympathetic jazz tinted psych grooves, the resulting sound recalling, at times, "Hogwash" era Groundhogs. Rodic pours over this heady mix of acid drenched groove a vocal that includes the line "I think I'll buy myself a gun, I think i'll shoot you just for fun" delivering his lyrics in a wonderful mix of whispered, falsetto and cleanly growled vocal tones.
"My Game" sees Vortical Minds going full tilt lysergic with Rodic telling of "walking in the sun, looking for some fun" over a backdrop of liquid bassitude and pounding percussion taken to another level by Paladino's off-kilter slide guitar and clever use of effects.
Final track "Ticking Time" begins with a gnarly Rodic bass motif that is then joined by Ortu's solid pounding drums while in the background Paladino's guitar howls with feral feedback all three then coming together on a grizzly stoner/hard rock groove with Rodic telling us he's "gotta find a doctor, gonna find a cure". before the whole mood shifts and the band take the song to it's conclusion on a wave of gloriously hazy psychedelic instrumental groove.
Hazy, crazy and dripping with lysergic induced imagery "The Orange Box" is full of delights... open it now and check it out....
