Six Gun by Rocket 350

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Superfan says: Junglebilly, baby! Take yer Dick Dale surf vibes, punk it up and throw it in a sea of reverb and just ride. Rocket 350 tells the saga of a "Six Gun" slingin' man and there are no survivors. What a Gr8 voice on this and a monster drummer too. Winner.

Summer School by The Kung Fu Monkeys

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Superfan says: Summer School. Two little words that strike dread into the hearts of schoolkids everywhere. Sitting in a hot room toiling over algebra while your peeps party at the beach. Kung Fun Monkeys capture the scene perfectly. Great song. Punk garage-y teen angst bliss. What a bummer!

The Storm Before The Calm by Dekapitator

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

El Gusano says: Apocalypse Dude, what total anti-social mayhem. "The Storm Before The Calm" by Dekapitator is true metal madness. No posing wussies here, just appalling destruction and societal collapse with a tasty end of the world filling. Metal fans rejoice.

Heavy Metal Monday by Carlos

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Superfan says: A classic bit of rock irony from a band known simply as Carlos. "Heavy Metal Monday" was a regular occurrence in beer soaked clubs throughout the US in the 80's, loved and hated with equal passion depending who you talked to. This song rocks hard.

The Lines by Delta

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Ninety Nine And A Half by Eddie Floyd

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Max Caster says: I really love this Soul Man. Eddie Floyd is the real deal. This Detroit star was right there at the beginning of it all. He wrote and and performed some of the most memorable soul songs. "Knock On Wood" is probably the most well known. He hasn't lost a step since the 60's. Check out some old school.

One Man Tag Crew by Dub Trio

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT
