Bears With Guns - Bears with Guns - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Collaborating once again with Black Acid Soul producer Chris Seefried, the pair produce a second album that not only embodies the freewheeling, emotive Lady Blackbird sound, but that also taps into deeply vulnerable lyrics that recount the singer's challenging ascent to musical stardom. - In taking charge of her own life and her own sound, Lady Blackbird walks a new path, making each note on Slang Spirituals a step in a radically different direction. Across eleven tracks Lady Blackbird puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the soulful orchestral fanfares of InchLet Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)Inch to the fingerpicking folk storytelling of InchMan On A Boat,Inch euphoric gospel empowerment of InchLike A WomanInch and the seven-minute psychedelic soul instrumental of InchWhen The Game Is Played On You.Inch - Lady Blackbird will be touring the new album Slang Spirituals in Europe and the UK through 2024 and into 2025.

Gold-Bears' second full-length, DALLIANCE is a record about regret. In the past two years since Gold-Bears released their debut album, ARE YOU FALLING IN LOVE?, main Bear Jeremy Underwood gathered a new crop of friends to carry out his fuzz-filled visions. DALLIANCE is more focused and abrasive than that 2011 debut, combining their noise-pop influences from forebears like Boyracer and the Wedding Present with shades of the post-hardcore, emo and post-punk on which the band all cut their musical teeth. This not to say the Gold-Bears gave up impossibly catchy song-writing, just that their signature indie punk anthems are now even sharper, the guitars even more slashing, and the songs even more harrowing and heartfelt than ever.

2017 . While Canadian sextet Shooting Guns is known (and oft-nominated) for their film soundtrack work (like Netflix hit WolfCop), Flavour Country is the band's fastest, heaviest and most visceral material-a collection of anthems to jettison from this universe into the multiverse. The album features some of the band's most atmospheric sounds there are slight hints of Ennio Morricone's Spaghetti Western twang amidst the looping Meddle-era Pink Floyd heavy psych and driving drone reminiscent of Bobby Beausoleil's belladonna laced soundtrack to Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising. But for the most part, the band is out for blood, regardless of tempo. Album opener InchRide FreeInch kicks off with a blistering wall of guitars, blaring and rattling out of the gate like mutant progeny to fellow Canadian biker-rock heroes Steppenwolf duly firing all of the guns, exploding into space and returning to hunt down every last one of us. It accelerates from there InchFrench SafeInch sounds like an unhinged battalion of musicians driving full throttle like a scene from a George Miller Road Warrior movie. Biting, lengthier tracks like InchSimian ShelfInch and the title track occupy the heavy end of the psychedelic spectrum, haunting the foggy moor between early, bluesy Sabbath-styled doom riffery and heavy pulse-riding kraut-rock.
