Word of Mouth #11: Trophy Scars - Holy Vacants

Trophy Scars - Gutted stream on PureVolume

I love, fucking love Trophy Scars, and that's why I'm glad to be doing this.

This album will be released on May 6th through Monotreme records. 

I was formally introduced to these guys with their "Hospital Music..." album back in '10, which is a fantastic listen if you like post-hardcore mixed with jazz & blues, and you don't mind (or better yet, you like) tempo changes. I haven't nabbed any subsequent album from them since then, but I was immediately grabbed by the news of this release. I've listened to the linked song a few times now and that's what's going to get me ordering the beast, because it's just that good. What say you?

Thanks again for great music, Trophy Scars!

Word of Mouth #4: Sandveiss - Scream Queen

 

 Sandveiss - Blindsided on Youtube

From the album 'Scream Queen', which is a self-released effort. You can purchase the album through their bandcamp page.

What a stunner! Sandveiss are a hard rock/stoner band, utilizing blues-rock riffs not unlike those of Kyuss & Queens of the Stone Age (those are always welcome). They come as a surprise to everyone (including myself) from straight out of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

Revel in those riffs. Thanks, Sandveiss!

(I don't know how the "center" function doesn't work in this instance, but that's the best I can do at this point considering this image isn't widely available and the publisher's functions are wonky, to say the least)

Word of Mouth #2: Samsara Blues Experiment - Waiting For The Flood

My second post in this series (however long it may last) is a shout out to a Blues & World inspired act from Berlin, Germany. This is the band's latest, 48-minute outing, released on November 14th of 2013. Given that the Blues is awesome all-around, and I have been looking around for new Blues releases, my stumbling upon the news of this release drove me to spread the word about this group and this release specifically.

Enjoy!
