Our Hollow, Our Home are new to myself and if you like it heavy then you will like these guys and their single Monarch taken from their Burn in the flood out now, there is a lot going on in this track different vocal styles from growls to clean and then mixed from some rap and this just the vocals guitars switch between heavy riffs to intricate tones, now I’m not normally in for bands like this because I feel once I have heard one I’ve heard them all but I like monarch and what it is to offer so many things going on in and track different layers  

Thank you to Public City PR

 

Eddie Vedder returns to his solo projects with a brand new solo track Long way check the video for Long way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHqd5Q7pYo0

 

Wow this is so different to his previous body of solo work, this is massive country vibe going on here, it feels very safe as a track don’t expect a ukulele here or the same energy from Pearl jam, this is very much a track where you will have this on driving down a country road somewhere and the sun will be shining, there’s plenty of melody both vocally and guitars. Its nice and cheery just very very different.

 

 

Next up are Black Falcon and their single Alone As A God

Alone As A God check out the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5lCuKL-4VM

 

We had announced the news earlier in the show of the return of mastodon, well if you not a fan of Mastodon but like your prog then perhaps Black Falcon can gain your approval, as they have unleashed a powerhouse of a single Alone as A God, which takes its cues from Mastodon, I can even hear little bits of URNE in hear that’s perhaps because URNE are also inspired by bands like Baroness, Mastodon, riffs are heavy and hit you in the chest, thick bass lines and heavy beats are like thunder in the sky, a beautiful breakdown which is met with an  breath taking solo.

straight away I’am met with a wave of riff and vocals that remind me so much of earlier Inflames which I love why well Inflames are incredible, plenty of melody in the guitars and vocals in this offering from eyes wide open, the guitars are great and truly heavy.

 

What really stood out for me was the melodic break downs as it just takes the energy level down and then slowly builds it back up with more fire and energy then the verse, if you love bands like Inflames, meets Killswitch engaged then this band and this track is for you crank this one up to 11

 

 

Okay next up this week sees a new band

 

Blood Command and their single The End is Her

Stream The End Is Her https://orcd.co/theendisher

straight away this is such a cool track with a bass opening line with a really cool tone, I really like the drum beats on this as there is a really cool rhythm and it really is the back bone to the track, vocally its clean and melodic and poppy , the guitars remind me a little bit from a track from the  band 1975, overall this is a really cool track with a great bounce and great energy to it.

 

 

Next up this week continuing with theme of new bands

True North and their single Save Me

wow this has serious Bring me the horizon vibes, such a belter of a single the guitars are very gentle and soft and kick in at certain points a strong vocal display with melody and hooks in the chorus which for me was the highlight of the track as the chorus are big/bold and loud Some awesome synth in the background to tie this track all together

 

 

lastly this week I recently had pleasure of attending this year’s Slam Dunk 2021 SOUTH which was incredible

so it only seems right to close out the show with Zebrahead and their brand new single A Long Way Down taken from the III out on the 26 November 2021, make sure to check out the video as it was filmed pre SlamDunk and filming continued into the their time in the UK

I spoke about Zebrahead a few weeks back on the sure and how I never really connected to them as a band but honestly this is the second track from the upcoming Ep III and I love it.

 

The track openings with a really cool beat, vocally its strong and has some serious hooks both vocally and in the guitars which offer a lovely classic pop punk tone, all this with a classic rap in the track and some serious energy again. So so impressed and honestly these guys are slowly converting a massive shout out to them and all the bands last week at Slam Dunk, as it is still not the easiest thing to attend a show or to put it on.

 

Thank you to Hold Tight
