Kowloon Walled City Drop ‘Gambling on the Richter Scale’ for the Low Price of Free
Falling somewhere in the cracks between dirty Southern sludge and angular, aggressive noise rock, San Francisco's Kowloon Walled City know how to lay down a riff. The band's debut full-length, 'Gambling on the Richter Scale,' was recently released on tiny indie label Perpetual Motion Machine...

Providence’s Howl are Howling for Environmental Justice
Providence, R.I.'s Howl -- not to be confused with Oslo, Norway's Howl -- are about to decimate the East Coast. Then, perhaps the world. Why? This fiery quartet recently secured a deal with Relapse Records, and any time a good band hits the Relapse roster, you know good things are in store...
Celeste Channel Their Frustrations on ‘Misanthrope(s)’

Doomriders Preview ‘Darkness Come Alive’

Conners' primary band -- have recently ended a three-year hiatus and are planning to record and tour. Not to mention Doomriders frontman Nate Newton's primary band, Converge, has a new record coming out as well...
Nebula Takes ‘Heavy Psych’ on the Road
After original Fu Manchu guitarist Eddie Glass parted ways with the desert rock band in 1997, it didn't take him long to start a new band, Nebula.

Amplifier Worship: Weedeater, Ancestors, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age
QUEENS OF THE ZEPPELIN FIGHTERS: Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin, duh) are reportedly collaborating, as we speak, on a new, still-unnamed project together.
