Weathers (Greece) - 2011 - Heavy Truck EP

Oh...Shit, the Greek scene is groving like a good weed in a pot during hot summer day.

Good driven, heavy loaded, sludgy tuned...here comes Weathers. Playng good music influenced by your favourite sludge legends.

There is a good company with my favourite bands : 1000 mods, Lucky Funeral, Guinea Pig, Routes...and now you can add Weathers to this battalion for sure !

Weather's bio :

were formed in the end of 2009. Ramon(bass) and Stavros(drums) after a few jams found their way and wrote their first song “Oblivious”, that was when Jim(guitar) and Mike(vocals) joined the band. At the beginning of 2010 the band recorded their first Promo CD ,“Promo 2010”, which contains 3 songs. Unfortunately, in August Jim left the band owing to personal reasons and Mike replaced him. In the middle of March 2011 they recorded and released their first Ep “Heavy Truck”.. Until now they have played with several Greek bands and have given more than 25 performances all over Greece in the line of their Tour that took place from January to March. The future plans of the band are to record their first full-length album and make as many lives as they can. Finally, the band is ready to perform live concerts with new songs and much more to give...

Wurm - 1985 - Feast LP

you can simply add this to noiserock/sludge/hc roots. Can't believe this record is from 70s'. Even it was released in '85. Wurm has only this album and a 7 inch in their discography.

Würm was formed in the suburbs of Los Angeles 1974 by high school friends Gary McDaniel and Ed Danky. They were joined by drummer Lou Hinzo in 1976. The group's sound contained elements of hard rock and early punk. The band made its name playing parties and throwing bashes at their own living space/practice place, an abandoned structure they took over and dubbed "The Würmhole". It was at The Würmhole that the band made friends with another group, Panic. Würm recorded an album around 1977 or 1978, but the record label failed to pay the studio bills and the tapes were recorded over. The failed album, combined with the drug use of some members and the band's general lifestyle took its toll. The group began to fall apart and Gary soon joined Panic. Panic soon changed their name to Black Flag and Gary began calling himself Chuck Dukowski.

In 1982, while Black Flag was prevented from recording due to an injunction filed during their legal battle with Unicorn Records, Chuck reunited with Lou and Ed and recorded and released a 3-song 7" on SST Records. The group split up shortly afterwards but reformed again in 1983, this time adding Simon Smallwood (of Dead Hippie) as vocalist. This line up recorded an LP but split during the recording and the LP was shelved until 1985. Ed Danky died of a cocaine overdose in 1991.

Snakedriver - 2011 - Demo

16 ton golden brick falls on my sickening head. Damn, I should surf through bandcamp more often.
Snakedriver comes from Little Rock, Arkansas, US. (I just wanted to write snakerider..hehe)
So dig it well. Mugwart, Leechmilk, Buzzoven, Iron Monkey, Cavity comes to my mind. Great downtuned guitars, slow/fast changing tempos, great vox. That's all ingredients that hc/sludge kithen requires.

Bootlegger's Creed, Vol. 12 - Fuzz Manchu

Originally formed in 1985 as a Black Flag-influenced hardcore punk band called Virulence, FU MANCHU has since become one of hard rock’s most celebrated names. The band released its first single “Kept Between Trees” in 1990 and in the years following, helped give rise to a celebrated style of heavy music tagged “stoner rock” alongside peers such as Kyuss, Monster Magnet and Sleep. Since its inception, the quartet has built itself a fanatical army of loyal enthusiasts all drawn to the group’s ridiculously catchy, unpretentious music, guitar-driven sound and carefree lyrics centered on "old muscle cars, choppers, vans, skateboarding and science fiction”...

FU MANCHU - 2011-03-16 - Gothenburg Sweden

Jack & The Bearded Fishermen (Fra) - 2011 - Places To Hide

I Like their attitude...and music :

"Don't hate the media, be the media" said Jello Biafra, it seems like you
clearly understand the message. Thus your is a precious alternative
voice against junk mass media culture.

We are getting is touch regarding the new JACK AND THE BEARDED FISHERMEN record
named "Places to hide" that is out as an LP today! This is an album of modern
and heavy rocking hardcore music made with sincerity and hard work.

the aim is not for us to sell out and make them become rock stars or something like that since the band and Impure Muzik have a strong and firm punk/hardcore ethic. The purpose of such a move is to share as much as possible their music, to get it listened. You are somehow
the lifeblood of this record.
