I'm a sucker for a band that can rock out... no not like Jet - Anyone who personifies AC/DC should be stabbed, then shot, force fed arsenic then run over by a steam roller leaving the body to rot while little starving midgets eat the remains (ok I have this thing for midgets). How many times have you heard "the saviours of rock 'n roll"? Why is rock 'n roll getting rescued all the time? Shit I'm going nowhere with this. Ok get back to the point Hutcho.
I heard this great song over the radio today by an outfit from the 'gong, The Watt Riot. Thrashing guitar hooks, heavy drums and solid vocals to back it up - I was hooked. I found myself reaching for the volume turning it up loud, windows down, arm hanging out tapping to the beat. I felt cool. That is until I pulled up next to some fully sick Nissan with some would be gangsters at the wheel. Windows up, volume down, shrinking down into my seat. Coolness fading, fading. Gone.
Anyway the song was 'All or Nothing' and I recommend you grab it while it's free on MySpace. I've linked it below with a few of their other songs. In fact, one of their songs has cowbells... yes cowbells!
