"Scarlet" is the new album from Spanish Sludge/Grunge/Metal trio ROSY FINCH releasing on the 6th March 2020. Originally formed in Alicante (Spain) circa 2013, featuring members of PYRAMIDAL (Lluís Mas) and doom metal act HELA (Mireia Porto). Their take on the stoner genre is a furious and eclectic blend of influences ranging from SONIC YOUTH to the MELVINS, showcasing brooding & atmospheric vocals laced with insidious and heavy riffs. ROSY FINCH breaks out of the mould and take the listeners on a completely different path than the one usually expected from a band of this genre.
2019 saw a line-up change during the recording of the new album, with Oscar Soler (DOMO, PYRAMIDAL) and Juanjo Ufarte (GRAJO, THE DRY MOUTHS) taking over bass and drums duties. The new formation has created a new heavy sound where singer and guitarist Mireia Porto finally seems to be in her element transmitting her darkest emotions. "Scarlet", is the second full-length album and the fourth release from the band was recorded and mixed at Red Records Studio and Surnia Records with mastering handled by scene legend Billy Anderson. After a year of composing the album, Porto was intent on creating a concept album with the colour red being the central theme. "Scarlet" is about aspiring to be more and to do more. It’s about the idea that nothing will remove the pain but nothing can detain you. Red has always represented danger, lust, sin, guilt, blood…” Says Mireia. Each song on "Scarlet" has a red type color in the title and represents different stories of different people (from fantasy to the real life) always ranging from love to violence. The album is heavier and sludgier than their previous releases and contains plenty of screams, melodic vocals, metal drums and dirty bass lines.
Its dark and it’s Scarlet Red.
Mireia Porto: Vocals, Guitars & Bass
Elena García: Bass
Lluís Mas: Drums
Today's tune "Lava" is taken from "Scarlet", released March 6, 2020, Produced by Mireia Porto & Lluís Mas at Red Records, San Isidro, Spain 2019. Enjoy this burning hot tune!
Time for round two, the second single "Superblood Wolfmoon" by PEARL JAM, taken from the upcoming 11th album "Gigaton", out March 27th.
The sonically upbeat garage pop-rocker tune sees frontman Eddie Vedder reflecting on a relationship that went south. The song is a bit more traditional than "Dance Of The Clairvoyants," the highly experimental lead single that was released in mid-January.
"Gigaton" it’s their first album of new material since 2013’s "Lightning Bolt", marking the longest period of time they’ve ever gone between albums. So far the band has dropped single “Dance of the Clairvoyants” ahead of release, along with three music videos for the track.
The group will also hit the road for a 16-date North American tour in March and April to promote the album. The trek kicks off March 18th in Toronto, Ontario and wraps April 18th and 19th in Oakland, California, then a short break before it's time for Europe, PIXIES, IDLES and WHITE REAPER will be supporting the band across the dates in Europe. The European leg will include several indoor shows as well as outdoor festival shows at Rock Werchter, Lollapalooza in Stockholm and Paris, and the BST Hyde Park concert in London. The show at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen will be on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Roskilde tragedy, see the upcoming tour stops below.
On Thursday (Feb. 13), the band instructed fans to use the PEARL JAM app and to direct their cell phone camera toward the moon, which would then trigger the teaser clip.

KEELRIDER is a 5 piece band from Reykjavík, Iceland hellbent on making good ol’ fashioned rock with a big spark of stoney grunge. The vocalist reminds me partly of Layne Staley, he sings really good and have a good punch in his voice. The music is done well, nice passages with good riffs, great musicianship for a brand new band, just take the mellow and soaring piece "Stay", check it below.
Finding the right niche, finding your own place, appreciation and identity can be a rather tedious undertaking especially if you are “just” an Icelandic rock band, and strive for sticking out of a never-ending stream of new bands that usually are as quickly formed as they vanish.
KEELRIDER is looking for appreciation and wants to spread their creation to the whole mass and would like as many people as possible to listen to their music and so they are giving their latest album away for FREE! So surf in to their Bandcamp here https://keelrider.bandcamp.com/releases and "Name Your Price". Thanks guys!
The band consists of:
Vocals: Björn Birnir
Lead Guitar: Stefán Pétur Bachmann Bjarnason
Rhythm Guitar: Benedikt Sölvi Sveinbjörnsson
Bass: Egill Fabien Posocco
Drums: Pétur Pétursson
Today's tune "Stay" is taken from the album "North", released March 5, 2018, enjoy!
Monday, new week, no "Record Of The Week", it's the day before the countdown starts, so today we play something that didn't reach up to the glorious 50 best albums of 2018.
And as usual, too much music, to little time. It's almost that I would like to play 2 songs every day to cover it all up, or make the album of the day, naa this is enough, but still, the count of all good records that were released during 2018 is incredible.
So to create together a neatly top 50 list have been very difficult to complete, it feels that it has been harder than ever to put together, am I getting older or is there to much to choose from, well I guess I need to narrow down my music taste to make life easier every year when it comes to this, you know, when you compare albums to each other it's pretty easy to decide which one is the better one and gets a better position, but after a few, it's getting harder and harder, after a bunch of records you get crazy and you will lose track in your count. So after many hours I finally decided my sprawling list of divine music, I hope you will enjoy the upcoming days here at Tune Of The Day!
One album that I have pretty recently start to spinning is MELVINS "Pinkus Abortion Technician", a pretty cool and odd record, check it up if you want something that is not normal. The eight-song album is the band’s first to feature two bass tracks on every song, with the bass players being Steve McDonald (REDD KROSS, OFF!) and Jeff Pinkus (BUTTHOLE SURFERS).
"Black Hole Sun" is a song by US rock band SOUNDGARDEN. Written by frontman Chris Cornell (R.I.P.), the song was released in 1994 as the third single from the band's fourth studio album Superunknown (1994). It is arguably the band's most recognizable and most popular song, and remains a well known song from the 1990s. The song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it spent a total of seven weeks at number one. Despite peaking at number two on the Modern Rock Tracks, "Black Hole Sun" still finished as the number-one track of 1994 for that chart. It failed to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart due to the rules of a physical/commercial release of the single at the time, but it still peaked at number 24 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song was included on SOUNDGARDENs 1997 greatest hits album A-Sides and appeared again on the 2010 compilation album Telephantasm.
Cornell said that he wrote the song in about 15 minutes. He used a Gretsch guitar to write the song, and commented, "I wrote the song thinking the band wouldn't like it—then it became the biggest hit of the summer." Cornell came up with the song while using a Leslie speaker. Guitarist Kim Thayil said that the Leslie speaker was perfect for the song as "it's very Beatlesque and has a distinctive sound. It ended up changing the song completely." Thayil said that the song "wasn't safe as milk, but it wasn't glass in someone's eye either. It was the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Now it's the 'Dream On' of our set." The song was performed in drop D tuning. Drummer Matt Cameron called the song "a huge departure". Credit is due to Michael Beinhorn and Brendan O'Brien, producer and recording engineer, respectively.
Regarding "Black Hole Sun", Cornell stated, "It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song." He also said that "lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally." In another interview he elaborated further, stating, "It's funny because hits are usually sort of congruent, sort of an identifiable lyric idea, and that song pretty much had none. The chorus lyric is kind of beautiful and easy to remember. Other than that, I sure didn't have an understanding of it after I wrote it. I was just sucked in by the music and I was painting a picture with the lyrics. There was no real idea to get across." Commenting upon how the song was misinterpreted as being positive, Cornell said, "No one seems to get this, but 'Black Hole Sun' is sad. But because the melody is really pretty, everyone thinks it's almost chipper, which is ridiculous." When asked about the line, "Times are gone for honest men", Cornell said:
It's really difficult for a person to create their own life and their own freedom. It's going to become more and more difficult, and it's going to create more and more disillusioned people who become dishonest and angry and are willing to fuck the next guy to get what they want. There's so much stepping on the backs of other people in our profession. We've been so lucky that we've never had to do that. Part of it was because of our own tenacity, and part of it was because we were lucky.
Chris Cornell stated in a 2014 interview with Entertainment Weekly that the title came from something he heard on the news - he thought the anchor said "black hole sun," but he really was saying something else. Cornell started thinking about the phrase and decided to write a song around it, as he felt it was a thought-provoking title. He wrote the lyrics first, then composed the music based on the images he came up with.
Today's tune have the surreal and apocalyptic music video for "Black Hole Sun" was directed by Howard Greenhalgh, produced by Megan Hollister for Why Not Films (London, England), shot by Ivan Bartos, and features post-production work by 525 Post Production (Hollywood, California) and Soho 601 Effects (London). The video follows a suburban neighborhood and its vain inhabitants with comically exaggerated grins, which are eventually swallowed up when the Sun suddenly turns into a black hole, while the band performs the song somewhere in an open field. In the video, Cornell can be seen wearing a fork necklace given to him by Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon. In an online chat, the band stated that the video "was entirely the director's idea", and added, "Our take on it was that at that point in making videos, we just wanted to pretend to play and not look that excited about it." Thayil said that the video was one of the few SOUNDGARDEN videos the band was satisfied with.
The video was released in June 1994. After several weeks of airplay on MTV, a second version of the video was substituted containing more elaborate visual effects than the original, including the addition of a computer-generated black hole. The music video for "Black Hole Sun" became a hit on MTV and received the award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Video at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards. In 1995, it received the Clio Award for Alternative Music Video. The video is available on the CD-ROM Alive in the Superunknown.
In 1999, British alternative rock band SKUNK ANANSIE did a homage of the video for their single "Lately". The video was also directed by Greenhalgh.
London-based trio PUPPY passed by in haste a few months ago, once again they swashed by, but this time i got them by the tale and gave them a chance for a swing.
"Vol. II" is a five-tune EP, full of heavy and fuzzy guitar riffs that flows around in the delightful alternative 90's rock and pop. Like today's tune "Entombed" where we get a little touch of GHOST vibes in the vocal parts. Another tunes like "My Tree" flirts with ALICE IN CHAINS and "Arabella" where the intro sounds like D.A.D. and continues with something else, a really nice piece of music.
The guys are out touring atm, check the dates below.

The South African rockers SEETHER have released their first rock-punching tune from the upcoming album "Poison the Parish". A old grunginess mixed with straight-ahead riffies and modern hard rock/metal quality is the new wave of the band.
SEETHER was founded in May 1999 in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. The band originally performed under the name Saron Gas until 2002, when they adopted the SEETHER
name. Disclaimer is their original album and major label debut. They gained mainstream popularity in 2002 with their US Active Rock number one single "Fine Again", and their success was sustained in 2004 with the single "Broken" which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. They have experienced continued success with number one hits on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart such as "Remedy", "Fake It", "Country Song" and "Words as Weapons".
Today's tune "Let You Down" is taken from the upcoming seventh studio album "Poison the Parish". It will be released on 12 May 2017. It's the band's first album to feature a new band logo on the cover and the first to feature Clint Lowery on Lead Guitar.
"Come as You Are" is a song by American grunge band NIRVANA, written by frontman Kurt Cobain and released as the second single from the band's second studio album "Nevermind" in March 1992.
Tomorrow it's Kurt's 50 yrs birthday, so Happy Birthday Kurt.
The unexpected success of the album's lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" drew NIRVANA to mainstream success, with "Nevermind" being released two weeks after the single's release. Following the album's release, the band and its management company debated whether to release "Come as You Are" or "In Bloom" as the next single from the album due to Cobain's concerns over similarity of the former with the KILLING JOKE song "Eighties" (1984). After some persuasion by the management company, Cobain agreed to release "Come as You Are" as the second single because of its commercial potential. KILLING JOKE were upset over the song, and there were rumors that a lawsuit had been filed over the song, though the suit never materialized. KILLING JOKE guitarist Geordie Walker was said to be upset about the whole situation, and he felt that NIRVANA (which according to Walker denied the connection between the songs) handled the matter poorly.
The music video for "Come as You Are" was directed by Kevin Kerslake, who drew inspiration for it from the cover artwork of Nevermind. Rolling Stone ranked "Come as You Are" 445th on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and it placed 452nd on the 2010 edition of the list.
Kurt Cobain described this song as "About people, and what they're expected to act like."
The lyrics are intentionally contradictory and confusing, with one line rebutting the next:
"As a friend, as an old enemy"
"Take your time, hurry up"
In this song, Cobain sings over and over, "I don't have a gun." Less than three years after the song was released, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. This was an eerie turn of events, but it's unlikely that Cobain had suicide on his mind when he wrote the lyrics. The gun could be a reference to a time when Cobain's mother got mad at her husband (Kurt's stepfather) and threw his guns in a river. Cobain says he recovered some of them, sold them, and used the money to buy his first guitar when he was 15.
In 2005, a sign was put up in Aberdeen, Washington, Cobain's hometown, that reads "Welcome to Aberdeen: Come As You Are" as a tribute to Cobain. The sign was paid for and created by the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee, a non-profit organization created in May 2004 to honor Cobain. Founded by author Jeff Burlingame and Aberdeen City Councilman Paul Fritts, the Committee also plans to create a Kurt Cobain Memorial Park and a youth center in Aberdeen.
"Stoner Witch" is the seventh album by MELVINS, which was released in 1994 through Atlantic Records.
In the wake of NIRVANAs "Nevermind" multi-platinum success, major labels scrambled to catch lightning in a bottle a second time by scooping up angular, but tuneful rock acts. Kurt Cobain had always described MELVINS as his favorite band, so Atlantic’s president Danny Goldberg who also managed NIRVANA decided to do his young protégés a solid by allowing MELVINS to essentially write their own ticket.
Hindsight shows how strange and uncompromising the resulting trilogy of albums on Atlantic—1993’s Houdini, 1994’s Stoner Witch and 1996’s Stag—actually were. In the current musical climate, there’s no way that a band like Melvins would be able to release another album with major label support after the hot mess that was Houdini, but Stoner Witch melded the hallmarks of the band’s earlier work (molten tempos, guitarist Buzz Osborne’s nonsensical lyrics) with a relatively radio-friendly ear towards arrangements.
In fact, Stoner Witch—the title springs from a term that drummer Dale Crover and his friends used to describe the stoner chicks at their high school—may be the most accessible record Melvins ever wrote. Although the term “accessible” is strictly relative, because, along with the megaton riffs of bona fide radio singles “Queen” and “Revolve,” there’s a host of indefatigably bizarre—and much looser—alternate-universe jukebox staples like the Tom Waits/Birthday Party homage “Goose Freight Train” and the droning epic “At the Stake.”
The band spent 19 days recording Stoner Witch with Garth “GGGarth” Richardson and Joe Barresi at the legendary A&M Studios in Hollywood. Most of the songs were captured in a single take, and all of the tracking and mastering was completed in a single, continuous session. Stoner Witch was the first time MELVINS had the luxury of recording in a massive studio, and the trio relished the opportunity to cycle through a ton of gear, tinker with tunings and explore the dramatic effect that an acoustically perfect space had on a series of very ugly-sounding compositions.
The full story can be read at Decibel Magazine, here!
MELVINS are an American rock band that formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington. They have mostly performed as a trio, as well as a quartet with two drummers in recent years. Since 1984, vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover have been constant members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name. Their early work was key to the development of both grunge and sludge metal.
“There are bands that like to hide behind volume,” explains Crover. “They aren’t very good, but they’re fucking loud! We were pretty fucking loud back then, but we definitely weren’t hiding.” The basic concept behind Melvins remains true to this day: You’re either with them or you’re against them. There is no middle ground.
Today's tune "Queen", taken the seventh album "Stoner Witch", enjoy!
DEAD SARA is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, consisting of Emily Armstrong (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Siouxsie Medley (lead guitar, backing vocals), Sean Friday (drums, backing vocals) and Chris Null (bass guitar, backing vocals) currently best known for their single and today's tune "Weatherman" from their debut eponymous album Dead Sara (2012).

Most recently in February 2015, DEAD SARAs cover of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" recorded for PlayStation 4's "Infamous: Second Son" video game won the award for "Best Song, Original or Adapted" at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers (NAVGTR) 14th annual awards program.
In 2009 Armstrong was commissioned by HOLE frontwoman Courtney Love to sing backing vocals on Love's 2010 album Nobody's Daughter,. In 2011, when singer Grace Slick was asked by The Wall Street Journal which contemporary female singers she admires, Slick named Emily Armstrong.
Pocket Kid Records released DEAD SARAs second album, Pleasure To Meet You, on March 31, 2015.
Today's tune "Weatherman" is the first song the current line-up of DEAD SARA created. Taken from the self titled album, released April 10, 2012. A band that we will come back to, that's for sure, enjoy this!

"Hey, Killer" is the eighth studio album by American alternative rock duo LOCAL H, released on April 14, 2015 through G&P Records, the official merchandiser for the band. Unlike previous recordings, "Hey, Killer" is not a conceptual release. The album was released on digital, CD, and vinyl formats. The record marks the first full-length recording to feature Ryan Harding on drums.
Recording for the album was mostly funded by a Pledgemusic campaign started by the band. People who helped donate to the campaign where rewarded with t-shirts, signed copies of the record, and so on. 5% of the money that was donated after the campaign was completed was sent to MusiCares, an organization that helps musicians with financial and personal struggles
LOCAL H is an American grunge duo originally formed by guitarist and vocalist Scott Lucas, bassist Matthew "Matt" Garcia, drummer Joe Daniels, and lead guitarist John Sparkman in Zion, Illinois in 1987. The members all met in high school in 1987 and founded Local H three years later.
After Sparkman's departure in 1991 and Garcia's departure in 1993, LOCAL H signed a record contract with Island Records in 1994, where they would go on to release three albums. They became best known for their radio hit "Bound for the Floor", a single from the 1996 album As Good as Dead which peaked at No. 5 on the US Alternative Billboard Chart. The album As Good As Dead was also certified gold. Daniels was replaced by Brian St. Clair in 1999, and the group has since issued four further albums. Brian St. Clair's last show with Local H was in 2013. In November 2013 Ryan Harding was announced as the new drummer.
According to the band's Twitter account, its name comes from combining two R.E.M. songs: "Oddfellows Local 151" and "Swan Swan H"
Today's tune "The Misanthrope" is taken from the new album "Hey, Killer", released April 14, 2105.

It's now between half and three quarters done, but we got some new material and we're excited about hopefully doing some more work on that later in the year." In July 2013, speaking to Total Guitar, guitarist Mike McCready said that "we finished seven songs two years ago" and "about four months ago we started up again with a brand new batch of songs to go along with those".

It has been a very long time since Soundgarden had a concert in Stockholm, they did a comeback festival tour last year that reached to Sweden Rock Festival. But now finally it was time for a real tour and a visit to Stockholm and Hovet.
This is a band that has reunited right in time and surely for the right reasons as they give a hell of a show and plays a raffle of tunes that spans from the hole Soundgarden repertoire where even the never tracks can fit in, excellent setlist in my eyes/ears, see it below. The atmosphere is dense and intense and many of the tunes have got a more "heavy" touch. Chris Cornell still have his voice intact and delivers a great concert.
Todays tune is the fiery "Drawing Flies" taken from the third album "Badmotorfinger", released 1991.

Outshined
Spoonman
Jesus Christ Pose
Let Me Drown
