Went to see a concert Wed. Night and it was Russian Circles, Eagles of Death Metal snd Mastadon
Russian Circles was excellent. I had heard them on my Pandora channel and they are in the same realm of music as ISIS but a bit more ethereal and instrumental.
I used to listen the EoDM a long time ago but they still got it and were totally fun. Like rocksbilly meshed with a bit of thrash and surfer culture. Its now clear to me that Josh Fromm is my kindred spirit. Everytime I discover something new he is right in the middle of it. Him and Mike Patton might my two biggest musical influences.
Mastadon.... no words. They are at the top of their game right now. Amazing musicians and good guys. My kid loves them. Its his go to at the moment.
Also listening to ISIS, Baroness, Cancer Bats, and rediscovering older bands like Motorhead and Dead Kennedys with the kid. Its fun watching him discover things he loves.
