I guess I have a few but the one that defines "That Album" to me is:

"Grave Dancer's Union" by Soul Asylum.

It was huge in it's day, over played in many people's opinion. But it is loaded with great songs, opens on a killer riff and just rocks. After a couple times of listening straight through, it goes back on the shelf for a year or two.

What is your "That Album"?

Hey! :)

i love listening to fast Rock/Metal in the Gym, but i'm running out of new Songs.
Hit me up with some of your favourites!
Looking forward to adding a few new ones to my List.

I love karaoke, but I don't have a good singing voice. I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the amazing vocalists I'm trying to imitate.

Is there a vocalist that an average Joe would be able to imitate?

Bless folks, hope all's well where you are.

I came across this IG promo for an upcoming Boy Blue show entitled, "Cycles", at London's Barbican.

Do any of you good folks, know the name of this infectious track or song in this video promo?

Many thanks and Blessings all

A band that was on my cover wishlist for a long time and on the top with mercyful fate. This one makes me very very happy.

The purest speed metal band and one band always mentioned when the genre speed metal is talked about. Plus speed metal is my favourite genre. Some more factors like Canadian speed metal being an underrated piece of art. These forces were at work pushing me to cover Exciter.

Also I find the genre particularly hard to cover because of the precision and all that speedy alternate picking and chugging. Well, gave my best, working on it and wish to perfect it someday.

The song is one of my favourite exciter songs and underrated, just like the album, the band, the scene, the genre and every single musician in the band. Bass mostly follows the guitars and relatively simple in comparison to other exciter songs. Carries the motorhead like rhythm throughout and takes a U-turn into blazing alternate picking with thunderous double bass drums. Amazing solos as well.

The challenge for me, again was the fast alternate picking and had to mix the song to increase the drums, as is the challenge in most of the 80s speed and thrash metal songs. Important here is syncing the tempo of the song in your head.

Original Bassist - John Ricci Genre - Speed Metal From the album 'Violence And Force'

I find being a fan of Madness frustrating at times. They’re dismissed quite often as a novelty 80’s act but the songwriting was, and still is, quite stunning with many references to everyday life that are missed because the music is ‘poppy’.

Personal favourites are Victoria Gardens from the Keep Moving album and MKII from the fantastic 2009 album The Liberty of Norton Folgate.

For University project I'm working on creating an app to shine light on small alternative music artists, making it easier to book local events using built in features. I'm wondering what it's like for people who like discovering new small artists. 

How do you discover small music artists?

Is it easy or is there something that bothers you?

Do you find it hard to discover new music artists?

Would you like to discover more?

Thank you (:

I’m making a mural to put in my rec room with A5 prints but it’s hard to find high res versions. Thanks!
