The rare stoner rock band that doesn't sound like a bad imitation of Zuma-era Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Black NASA distill their sound on their aptly-named second album. Finding a fruitful middle ground between the pop-smarts of Queens of the Stone Age or Foo Fighters & the boogie-fried jamming of the likes of Fu Manchu, singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Chris Kosnik is at his best on songs like " Colony, which marries a catchy verse melody to some open-ended guitar freakouts, as oppose ...

US cult favourites, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, return with their 4th studio album, Baby 81. After releasing 2005's rootsy, acoustic, Howl, the guys are now back in full fuzz-rocking mode with the return of drummer Nick Jago who left the band for a brief period. The first single, ' Weapon Of Choice', is an immediately compelling anthemic rocker with strong lyrics & hooks. ...

This L.A.-based band (originally hailing from San Francisco) came along just when they were needed most. This self-produced major-label debut boldly plunders a reverb-&-white noise course previously trampled underfoot by long-gone British bands of the late '80s & early '90s (the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Verve, Ride, the Stone Roses, etc.). It all sounds very British, on many levels, despite the fact that only one band member is an Englishman living in exile in the States. On some songs, howev ...

On tour in Europe, with their latest album released to mixed reviews & Nick Jago on his way out the door (again), Live documents the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club channeling the weird vibes around the Baby 81 tour to return to the languid & raw sound that brought them to prominence in the first place. As a concert film, {= Live looks & sounds exactly the way the BRMC ought to. The band is sparingly lit & mostly filmed in black & white, giving the whole thing a kind of stygian ambience. Wh ...

Despite past rumours to the contrary, rock ?n?roll is not dead. But if any band was to fly a modern day flag for the archetypal term that sums up appearance, attitude & banging guitars, then this is the one. In true uncompromising fashion, they broach issues. Politics, drugs, guns, dejection, & even a spot of lurve into the bargain. Lyrics that are not so convoluted to be contrived, nor simplistic as to not care. A real bite to the cacophony of sound from a trio that lives, breathes & spit ...

Black Sabbath's debut album is given over to lengthy songs & suite-like pieces where individual songs blur together & riffs pound away one after another, frequently under extended jams. There isn't much variety in tempo, mood, or the band's simple, blues-derived musical vocabulary, but that's not the point; Sabbath's slowed-down, murky guitar rock bludgeons the listener in an almost hallucinatory fashion, reveling in its own dazed, druggy state of consciousness. Songs like the apocalyptic ti ...

Volume 4, Black Sabbath's fourth studio album, released in 1972 marked the beginning of a transitional period for the b&. Black Sabbath were pretty much unique with their sound in the early 1970's; the godfathers of heavy metal were louder than most & had a distinctive sound which no other band really came near to having a similarity to. However, after producing three albums (' Black Sabbath', ' Paranoid' & ' Master of Reality') with their classic, straight out heavy & powerful style, Black ...

By the time Black Sabbath began work on what was to be their fourth album in 72, the conveniently titled Volume 4, they were very much in the ascendant. Their fan base was growing with each succeeding tour & album, & their style was firmly established. However, to the band members, the treadmill of the rock cycle album/tour/album/tour in perpetuity
- offered no challenge any more. They wanted to stretch themselves, to push the parameters of what theyd already created. So, for the new album,
