"Fast Car" is a song by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. It was released on April 6, 1988, as the lead single from her 1988 self-titled debut studio album. Chapman's appearance on the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute helped the song become a top-ten hit in the United States, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, it reached number four on the UK Singles Chart. "Fast Car" received two Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, as well as an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Female Video in 1989.
The Austin rock duo BLACK PUMAS have shared a reverent cover of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 classic, “Fast Car.” The band — which comprises singer Eric Burton and guitarist Adrian Quesada — has regularly covered “Fast Car” during their live sets.
Some beautiful guitar strumming, softish vocal performance make this a really good version of this classic tune.
“To me, ‘Fast Car’ is a song of hope, dreams and a relentless heart to go somewhere and be someone,” Burton said in a statement. “I learned the song when I first began to busk and of the covers that I knew, it garnered the most attention from the random passerby. As a musician and artist, I’m attracted to songs that make us reflect on our daily struggles for making life worth living for.”
Today's tune "Fast Car" is available on the GRAMMY-nominated Deluxe Edition of the BLACK PUMAS debut album. The Deluxe Edition includes 11 bonus tracks (3 brand new songs, 4 covers, and 4 live recordings) and is available now in 2xLP, 2xCD and digital formats: http://smarturl.it/BPDeluxe Originally filmed on October 16, 2020
BUTTHOLE SURFERS guitarist Paul Leary waited 30 years to express his dark humor and carnival sounds once again in a new solo album. Leary’s first album released in 1991, "The History Of Dogs", launched his solo musical career from the BUTTHOLE SURFERS, combining his personal taste with a nuanced flare of woke ideology stemmed from modern society.
Thirty years may seem like an oddly excessive length of time between albums, but that’s apropos, as nearly all the highlights of Leary’s legendary career have been odd and excessive.
Leary is best known as guitarist/vocalist for the infamous psychedelic noise rock band BUTTHOLE SURFERS. The BUTTHOLE SURFERS’ aggressively surrealist recordings and live shows have become mythology in the world of underground music. The headline of a 2016 profile in Vice magazine summed this legacy up neatly, stating the “BUTTHOLE SURFERS Were the Epitome of Every Hell-Raising Rock 'n' Roll Legend You Ever Heard.”
BUTTHOLE SURFERS’ work was often squarely focused on the manipulation of sounds and textures, and Paul Leary's "Born Stupid" is heavily rooted in the craft of song, and the record’s finely structured musical landscapes work to support the stories being sung.
The connection between "Born Stupid" and vintage BUTTHOLE SURFERS’ music is not just stylistic. Longtime fans of Leary’s work will be pleased by the presence of a couple radically reworked interpretations of BUTTHOLE SURFERS-era material, including a giddily demented singalong version of the "The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey’s Grave.”
According to Leary, there was no grand vision behind the conception of Born Stupid. “I wasn’t planning on making another album, but over the years songs kept popping into my head. So I figured I might as well record them.” Leary has seized a ripe cultural moment to send this music out to the world, as "Born Stupid" speaks effectively to the damaged state of contemporary U.S. culture. There’s no better example than the album’s title track, a perfect anthem for the modern American age. “With so much strife and peril in this world I’d like to help make things better. But, instead, I had to be born stupid,” Leary croons in a warped country drawl, evoking the voice of Lee Hazlewood as sung through a cancer kazoo. Throughout the album Leary is joined by drummer Josh Freese, known for his work with a range of artists, including THE VANDALS, GUNS N’ ROSES, and DEVO.
It’s important to note that "Born Stupid" will be the first release on the newly relaunched incarnation of Shimmy-Disc, the influential independent record label founded by producer/musician and underground music impresario Kramer in 1987. Kramer revived Shimmy-Disc for his 2020 tenure as Joyful Noise Recordings’ Artist in Residence. Leary and Kramer have enjoyed a long collaborative relationship. “I’ve known Kramer since the early 1980’s when he was playing for Shockabilly,” Leary shared. “I was a big fan and we met when Shockabilly played in Austin, Texas. Then later on the BUTTHOLE SURFERS were without a bass player, and Kramer offered to play bass for us on a European tour. We’ve been friends ever since.”
Today's tune “Born Stupid” has quite a bit of this twanginess, and is the title track from his second album, released February 12, 2021
Friday, time to boost things up with some metal and the Austin rockers WAR CLOUD.
The classic heavy metal torchbearers embracing their recognizable dual guitar harmonies, proto-metal licks, hard-charging rhythms, adding heavy surges of British and Southern metal to inspire the fire. Electrifying audiences for 6 years, WAR CLOUD takes no prisoners with their own style of high energy heavy metal.
Today's tune "Give'r" is taken from the band's thunderous live album "Earhammer Sessions", it was released on May 22nd on Ripple Music. These recordings capture the evolution of the band blasting through the setlist they performed every night on their most recent European tour with a raw, honest, take-no-prisoners vibe. The clip of today's tune is Recorded in an old barn an hour outside Cologne, Germany. Some footage was also shot at Moto Guzzi Motoraduno in Lecco, Italy and Officine Sonore, in Vercelli, Italy, enjoy!
South Austin, Texas' UNCLE LUCIUS is a dream, conjured in the minds of five sonic mercenaries, a clarion call to arms for true believers. It is the voice that shakes you from complacency, grabs you with both hands and implores: Get in the van!!!
Like the city that brought them together, UL is a gumbo, with hints of Americana and folk juxtaposed with a slow-cooked roux that is steeped in classic rock 'n' roll and the blues. The resulting flavor is familiar and unique, roots at its most refined, albeit with a gutbucket foundation.
UNCLE LUCIUS consists of:
Jon Grossman - Keys and Vocals,
Michael Carpenter - Guitars,
Kevin Galloway - Guitars and Lead Vocals,
Joshua Dane Greco - Drums,
Johann Valles - Bass
UNCLE LUCIUS last record was released 2015, they seem to be still active and playing once in a while, hopefully, something new will come soon, in the meanwhile we play a tune where they are performing "Keep The Wolves Away", taken from the album "And You Are Me".
DESTROYER OF LIGHT play music that could be categorized as doom metal, they are very much a rock band.
Having just recently signed to Argonauta Records for a new album in 2019, Austin doomers DESTROYER OF LIGHT follow their 2017 long-player, "Chamber of Horrors" , with a further auditory assault in the lumbering EP "Hopeless".
Formed in 2012 from constantly boiling musical cauldron that is Austin, TX, DESTROYER OF LIGHT has taken a straight forward approach to tempering the disparate and harmonious parts of their influences into a total sum of slow motion tidal heaviness that bows to no altar but that of the riff. With the smoky flavors of hazed out doom and the stomping cadence of rock’s heyday, the band both tickles and deafens the ears with the theatrical flashes of MERCYFUL FATE, the ominous tones of ELECTRIC WIZARD, and the ferociously feral feedback of a SLEEP dirge.
DESTROYER OF LIGHT consists of:
Steve Colca: Guitar/Vocals,
Keegan Kjeldsen: Guitar,
Penny Turner: Drums,
Nick Coffman: Bass.
Today's tune "Nyx" off of the new EP, "Hopeless". Video done by Bryan Hunt. The EP was recorded at Raygun Studios by Chris Frankhauser in Kalamazoo on Oct. 2016.
Mastered by James Plotkin at PlotkinWorks. Artwork by Yana Dhyana. Released May 11, 2018
"Death And Consolation" is the new album by the Austin, TX power Trio THE WELL.
The band once again recorded with long-time producer/engineer Chico Jones at Estuary Studio in 2018, who has turned the knobs for all three of their albums (Jones engineered the band’s debut album "Samsara" with producer Mark Deutrom (MELVINS, SUN O)))) in 2013.
Ian Graham, Lisa Alley & Jason Sullivan
"Death And Consolation" is a more personal album says the guitarist/vocalist Ian Graham.
And by knowing that you listen with a different type of ears and can hear that there is a lot of depression and darkness over the lyrics that can weight up the album title. The sound follows the already made path that THE WELL has created over the last two albums, 70's psych and proto-metal, with a vibe of JOY DIVISION and BLUE CHEER. "Death And Consolation" have a lot of heaviness with down-tuned guitars that give a monstrous sound on the album, fat bassline and well played drums along with great vocals. The album has a play time of 42 mins divided into 9 tight and concise tunes that make this album a lovely listening moment.
The albums open up with a Sitar on the tune "Sabbah", heavy and doomish guitar, drony vocals, powerful drumming and a catchy chorus with a matchless hymns makes this an excellent start of the album. "Raven" forces forward with ping pong riffs.
To the more half paced SABBATH alike tunes like the powerful "Death Song" or the even slower haunting "Freedom Above". The gothic parts can you hear cleary on "Cup Of Peace". There are a few lumbering and spooky tunes like "Eyes Of A God" and the riff theme "This Is How The World Ends" that will rise the fear. Or just take the heavy horror piece "Act II" that is just a brilliant piece of melodic doom. The album closes with "Endless Night", a really dark tune with heavy distorted riffs, church bells and haunting melody.
"Death And Consolation" were released on April 26th, 2019 via Riding Easy Records.
Sum: Can it be much better than this, spooky noise doom at it's best.
Today's tune "This Is How The World Ends" is the first single out of "Death And Consolation", enjoy!

BLACK PISTOL FIRE is a high-octane rock duo based out of Austin, Texas by way of Toronto, Canada; composed of Kevin McKeown on guitar/lead vocals and Eric Owen on drums. Drawing inspiration from blues, R&B and rock greats such as LED ZEPPELIN, CHUCK BERRY, NIRVANA, BUDDY HOLLY and MUDDY WATERS, BPF’s gritty and dynamic performances are fueled by undeniable musicianship.
Dubbed the "next big thing" by Huffington post after SXSW 2013, BLACK PISTOL FIRE has developed a reputation for their untamed live performances. Described as "Pure fire on stage"(Degenrefy), they are quickly becoming festival veterans, including performances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch Music Festival, Shaky Knees and Governor's Ball, among others.
BLACK PISTOL FIRE have a great musicianship and well crafted tunes that can almost match the power and intensity of the massive rock sounds of the likes of FLEETWOOD MAC and the bluesy parts of LED ZEPPELIN.
Today's tune "Suffocation Blues". taken from the self titled album, the Video was made by Robby Cook.
Girls, Girls, Girls (female fronted), yeah that's this week's theme. This week we play female fronted rock bands. And yes, there is a lot of excellent bands out there that have a female behind the mick. I like it, it gives the sound a different approach if it's compared to a male fronted act. Anyway, let's get into today's band.
UME, is an Austin, TX trio. UME has grown a following the old-fashioned way, hitting the road in a broken van and ecstatically playing every show as if it were their last. The unrelenting and impassioned force that has made UME an acclaimed live band has finally been captured on a beautiful and massive record called "Monuments" (where we find today's tune).
The album has been recorded with Grammy-winning producer Adam Kasper (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, CAT POWER, FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA) at Robert Lang Studios and Studio X in Seattle, WA.
"Monuments" is UMEs most colossal sounding recording yet. The guitars are heavier, the rhythms more powerful, the vocals and songwriting bolder and more intimate. It's simply a distorted raw garage guitar-driven rock with unbridled passion!
UME Consists of:
Lauren LL (guitar/vocals)
Eric Larson (bass)
Aaron Perez (drums)
Today's tune "Black Stone" from Ume's latest album "Monuments".

From the sun baked wastelands of Austin, Texas comes the super heavy, tripped out, old school stoner metal sounds of DUEL with "Fears Of The Dead"
DUEL is a newcomer from Austin, Texas which started in 2015, by the
ex-SCORPION CHILD guitarist Tom Frank and bassist Shaun Avants (who left the band in 2014). They
both handle the vocals on Duel. The other two fellows are JD Shadowz on Drums and Derek Halfmann on Guitars.
First, DUEL is not another SCORPION CHILD, DUEL is something totally different and is this good?, oh hell yeah! DUEL is hugely influenced by the darker breed of late 60’s and early 70’s
Proto-metal and heavy groove, DUEL casts hard rocking spells of doom,
angst, and horror from behind a thick psychedelic haze of pot smoke.
"Fears Of The Dead" is a classic groovy heavy rock album that floats slowly on the thick slurry of algae andother debris, like an wrecked steam-propelled survivor of the Vicksburg battle.
The Vinyl album kicks of with the title track, a groovy piece that have a fun and excellent swing, heavy puffy riffing, clear melody, excellent tune and I'm digging! The more speedy "This Old Crow" gets my feet's to stomp faster while "The Kraken" takes out it's debauchery to something totally different, still heavy and groovy with it's guitar licks that melts anyone. The last tune on the first side is "Fell To The Earth", a thick bar rocker with catchy riffs and smoky lyrics. (time to turn the record)
A classic hard rocker "On The Edge" starts of the "B" side of the record, with Ace Frehely sounding guitars, the stunning "Electricity" with it's killing melody kicks me of the sofa and I will stay there when "When The Pigs Are Fed" runs in with it's 80's BLACK SABBATH tune, whoa what a suprice.
"Locked Outside" ends the side and finish of the album in nearly eight minutes of magnificent rock that takes you on a voyage true the classic sound of B.O.C and the psychedelic folk of PINK FLOYD a tune that is protected by iron and steel armor plates to keep the explosive intact.
Summury: BUY!
Their
debut LP “Fears Of The Dead” recorded at the famed Machine Shop Studio
(CLUTCH, LAMB OF GOD, KING CRIMSON etc) captures this perfectly.
Listen responsibly.
Today's tune "Fear of the Dead" is recorded live at Swan Dive ~ Austin Tx 2015

The Austin heavy psych-rockers SCORPION CHILD present a brand new single entitled "She Sings, I Kill".

"She Sings, I Kill" is released as an White 7" single. Limited to 200 units, Black 7" single. Limited to 500 units. The single will contain the new track "She Sings, I Kill", as well as another new song, "(Enter The) Twilight Coven", which will be a B-side that is exclusive to this single. Both tracks will mark the first impression of the band's upcoming second album, which is tentatively scheduled for an early 2016 release. Singer Aryn Jonathan Black comments: "The time has come and thirst for travel has become an overwhelming urge for quite some time. We will quench these desires in November with a UK/Europe adventure. It is there we will bear the fruits of our labor in song with a view from our forthcoming album. The psalms 'She Sings, I Kill' and '(Enter The) Twilight Coven' will be born!"
They originally formed in 2006 and have spent the last few years perfecting both their songwriting and stage presence. Aryn Jonathan Black fronts the outfit with a siren-like voice reminiscent of a young Robert Plant. Guitarists Christopher Jay Cowart and Tom Frank layer high-energy twin-guitars over the band’s driving rhythm section fueled by Shaun Avants (bass) and Shawn Alvear (drums).
Today's tune "She Sings, I Kill" is the first single from the upcoming second album, enjoy!

Clark shared the stage with various legends of rock and roll and has stated that he is "influenced by blues, jazz, soul & country, as well as hip hop".

New week and it's time to present this week's "Record of the Week"
"Samsara" is inspired by early 70's psych and proto-metal, Austin-based power trio THE WELL redefine heavy rock by merging massive riffs with sophisticated melodies. THE WELL have created a sound that reflects doom, punk and horror all rolled together in a ghostly rock soundtrack. Their full-length debut "Samsara" is really strong collection of tunes that will trill most of the fans of 70's Psychedelic Proto-metal.
With a progressive sound that stems from a nostalgic desire to blend different musical styles as diverse as JOY DIVISION and BLUE CHEER.
The group blossomed when guitarist/vocalist Ian Graham was fired from his previous band. Determined to redirect his musical focus, Graham hooked up with bassist Lisa Alley and the two began picking out riffs in their east-side garage. Rounding out their sound, they stole drummer Jason Sullivan from Graham’s old band in a tale of vengeance and karma. His solid groove and reckless tribal beat gave the three-piece their ideal primal attack.
Due to their psychedelic doom edge, THE WELL reaps comparisons to BLACK SABBATH, SLEEP, ELECTRIC WIZARD and UNCLE ACID AND THE DEADBEATS. As fans of cult horror films, they embrace the sinister, revel in dark themes and find inspiration in haunting echoes. The dual vocals of Graham and Alley evoke an ancient language that carries a mystic spell. Daunting rhythms and heavy guitars often accentuate their chilling chants. In the spring of 2012 THE WELLs first studio experience was to record their debut 7" at the Barbeque Shack with Tia Carrera’s Jason Morales. Limited to 300 copies, Seven was pressed on mixed vinyl with several cover options featuring hand-drawn art that emulated a few of the band’s favourite album covers. Nicknamed the “rip-off” series, the single sold out quickly becoming a favourite among European collectors.
By the fall of 2012, THE WELL were back in the studio again, this time at Ohm Recording Facility with Producer Mark Deutrom (MELVINS, SUN O)))) and Engineer Chico Jones to record their debut album. However, an opportunity to record with Converse Rubber Tracks during SXSW 2013 resulted in the epic track "Eternal Well" and sparked the idea of an EP. First Trip was pressed with a handful of songs from the Ohm sessions together with ‘Eternal Well’ just in time for their West Coast Summer Tour. Due to the energy and excitement of their live shows, the vinyl sold out quickly. With each repressing, a different hand-screened cover was printed until all four limited editions sold out. One of their most rabid fans was Riding Easy Records label boss Daniel Hall who recently signed the band.
“Writing dark, ominous music is how I deal with life,” admits Ian. “When we play live it’s like expelling the demons.” At a time when rock music is fading among the masses, The Well injects an intoxicating dose of raw adrenaline into a fatigued genre. Their nostalgic reverence, simple structure and modern expression put them at the forefront of today’s heavy rock.
The Well Consists of:
Ian Graham – Guitarist/Vocalist
Lisa Alley – Bass/Vocalist
Jason Sullivan – Drums
Todays tune "Mortal Bones" is taken of THE WELLs debut "Samsara", enjoy!
Second Video is a live clip of the tune!
