So glad I never featured Dungen before cause it fit perfectly within my unplanned psych week. This will be the first band I feature that does not have an English song but their sound is too good to pass up the chance to put them out there.
Rock
The (International) Noise Conspiracy – Smash It Up
This reminds me of when I made the move from Perris, Ca to Los Angeles to start a five year adventure with the coolest roommate ever, my brother! Formed after the break up of Refused, they are know for their punk and garage rock influences as well as their strong politically themed lyrics. I love dancing to this song when I’m annoyed with work.
Green Leaf – Trails and Passes
This is quite different from what I’ve been posting lately. If I had heard this without knowing they were from Sweden, I would think they were from the UK. Greenleaf describe themselves as “rock n’ roll, psychedelic, stoner, doom, blues, hard rock, fuzz, metal, sludge, vintage 70’s style rawk.” I like to see this as part of the comeback of guitar rock that Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkey spoke about. This stuff is great rock and roll. I love the blues guitar mixed with psych rock. I am so glad I stumbled upon this.
