Aloha, Ahoy

Isn't there just something totally awesome about those songs that just take you back to when you first heard them and the rapture you felt as you listened?
I remember the bands that tore my world apart with their songs, I'd never heard anything like it before in my life.
It wasn't that my parent's didn't like music, in fact it was quite the opposite, they loved it. From Sabbath to Tchaikovsky and every Beatles hit imbetween, the two of them are like a walking jukebox.
My parents are so cool, I didn't feel the need or rather didn't have a way to rebel.
However during in high school my friend Doug, with his dreads and skateboard, played me a song in Math class - the punk-rock-metal beats threw my world off balance.
What and who was making this incredible sound?
I needed more, the more I listened the more I wanted to be around the music.
From gigs to festivals, to writing & playing, that passion has never waned.

-

That being said, I feel like the older I get the harder it is to find those kinda songs, but the truth of it is, there's hidden treasures all over the ocean of the music scene, from every corner of the globe, just waiting to be discovered.
They're just not as obviously shared as all the indie-pop bands of the current scene.
Nothing wrong with a little indie-pop but I have to say I like my tunes with a little bit more of a bite.

-

The hunt for something with that vibe became all too real.
Every indie-pop band wearing skinny jeans and an over sized vintage shirt caressing the microphone mumbling something about love & a dream in the desert has become a scene all too familiar; as though the music scene is stuck in some sort of gig-groundhog day.
Countless times, I've stood at the back of the room wondering why I couldn't remember what the square root of pi was & wondering if a flux capacitor could really run on trash.

-

Something had to change; there had to be something with a bit of a kick to it, something that left a bit of a burn as you inhaled it; like a good shot during a wicked party.
You know you'll regret it the next morning, but you're so incensed with the present moment, you just can't bring yourself to comprehend any time beyond the present.

-

I went in search of the bands that were channeling something heartier and heavier than any of the indie bands could have mustered the strength to shred.
& boy did I find them...

-

If like me, you're hungry with that same thirst for something stronger, here's the best of this month's round up of tunes from across the globe.

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from the music blogging, wandering through the desert of the music scene, looking for a place to call home. Having weathered the sandstorms and great drought though, this is no mirage; I've found my way out of the desert to the coast, here on the shores of the music scene I will continue to share the best in new & loud music with all of you.

-

Keep a weather eye on that horizon, tune in, turn up & rock out next time here at LBW.

Love & Peace
