Danish God Damned Rock’n’Roll band, I’LL BE DAMNED have released a new album "Road To Disorder", from the album, a single and a video for "You Are The Young" have found its way out on the net, see it below.
I’LL BE DAMNED was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2010. They quickly started to make a fuss with their energetic live shows, which showcases four guys delivering a thunderous foundation for the enigmatic, howlin’ and preaching frontman, Stig Gamborg.
I’LL BE DAMNED is pissed off about politics, religion, the media and society in general. Armed with influences such as CLUTCH, DOWN and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, the band fuses a potent yet melodic and groovy punch in your face with lyrical sharpness and unifying paroles – with an attitude, great swing in the tunes make I’LL BE DAMNED a fun band to rock to.
Despite playing a lot of shows in their own right, I’LL BE DAMNED has supported the likes of METALLICA, D-A-D, AIRBOURNE, and STEEL PANTHER as well as they have been featured on a lot of festivals home and abroad – among others Copenhell and Rock Harz.
The band consists of:
Stig Gamborg - Vocals
Mathias Smidt - Drums
Kristian Sloth - Guitars
Boris Tandrup - Guitars
Jens Lunde - Bass
Today's tune "You Are The Young" is taken from the latest release "Road To Disorder", released August 31st, 2018, enjoy!
Los Angeles band, THE FREEKS, know that as the Earth revolves the sun and the Universe infinitely expands, it must be shared with as many different kinds of life as there are stars. A bold statement coming from a bunch of FREEKS. This is not a new concept, however, an ever-recurring one dating back to Ezekiel’s biblical account to even further back with evidence from ancient Egypt and Mayan times. After 4,000 years the theory continues strong as we enter 2018.
THE FREEKS also enter 2018 with the completion of "CRAZY WORLD", their fourth full length “LP” and second release for Italian based HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS RECORDS. A studio record with eight songs that take you on a psychedelic journey from hidden moonlit distilleries all the way up to the Mothership and back down to Mother Earth. It could have happened in 2700 BC and it’s definitely happening again now as THE FREEKS continue to ferment their ethanol infused fuzz rock, bead their songwriting to reflect a heavier content and extract added amounts of psychoactive chemicals from the minds of their listeners.
THE FREEKS consists of: Ruben Romano (founding member of FU MANCHU and NEBULA) returns at the helm supported by Bob Lee on drums (CLAW HAMMER, MIKE WATT), Esteban Steban Chavez on Keys, Jonathan Hall on Guitar (BACKBITER) and introducing the latest Freek on Bass, Ray Piller (BIBLICAL PROOF OF U.F.O.’s).
Today's tune "American Lightning" taken from the album "Crazy World", featuring the ripping guitar leads by Ray Hanson (from legendary THEE HYPNOTICS), enjoy!
"Rock På Svenska" is the postumt album by Strängen. During his career, he played guitar in HELLACOPTERS. Now one and a half years after his death, a new album with Strängen's original ideas is released.
The Story about the album.
Chips Kiesbye tells us that "Strängen" came home to him once a week, for six months. The seatings were like a mix of therapy meetings and songwriting. They reviewed each line of text and discussed what he wanted to say with the songs. They also set up their own "dogma rules". That means that all words must be true and right from the heart. No worn-out rock clichés was allowed. In December 2016 they considered having a really strong ready written album. They selected some of the songs that felt most obvious and booked the studio for a first session. It was not necessarily the strongest songs they chose first, but songs that they thought were appropriate to begin with. Unfortunately, it was only one session so they did not do everything they had imagined to do. Another things came in between.
Last year Robert "Strängen" Dahlqvist was taken away from us. He suffered from epilepsy. And just a few days after he had been in the studio together with the band, he got a strike at home in the bathtub and drowned. The producer Chips Kiesbye, known from SATOR, spoke with "Strängen" relatives. Together they decided to finish the recordings on the basis of the ideas "Strängen" and his band had been talked about during all the discussions and planning meetings. "Rock On Svenska" is the result of this work.
"Rock På Svenska" is a rocker with a great swing, in the native language he sings sensitive with very personal lyrics about his upbringing, it's real, it's honest, it's true. The album opens up with "Thriller" a real rocker, dirty AC/DC riffs, catchy chorus, the tune is about that he is scary and fragile. "Farsan Söp Ihjäl Sig" is a fast paced rocker with a real sad story about his alcoholic dad. After that, it is very appropriate to ask "E de OK", he says that he is fine, everything is OK, but "All feelings gets into tears / When the air goes out " he sings. A sensitive tune. The pace goes up a notch in the rocker "Inte Min Vän". The loving "Din Hand" is a great sunny reminder of all the things that's are nice in life. A nice melody thats accompanied by beautiful guitar riff. "Rocken É Inte Död" is a cool rocker about the radio the plays synth pop and not great rock music that his. "Bangatan" is a powerful and melody-strong rocker that was released as a single a couple of years ago. The album ends with the captivating tribute to the daughter, "Ingrid", a beautiful piece that reaches its emotional culmination.
"Rock På Svenska" is a relaxed and strong 80's embossed rockalbum that is delivered so much heart and is emotionally charged and naked that "Strängen" can remain and receive all the praise for a job well done.
Sum: This album is a beautiful and worthy monument of a talented musician who was pulled away from life too early.
Today's tune "Rocken É Inte Död" is taken from "Rock På Svenska". The video is a live recording from Record Store Day, Little §shop of records here in Stockholm April 16th 2016 Enjoy!
"Listen to the Music" is a song recorded by THE DOOBIE BROTHERS on their second album "Toulouse Street". This tune was THE DOOBIE BROTHERS' first big hit in 1972, it remains a concert staple and is one of The Doobie Brothers' biggest hits.[citation needed] This song is usually played as the last song at THE DOOBIE BROTHERS' concerts. It was written by Tom Johnston, who also played guitar on the track.
Tom Johnston says about this time: "It was all based around this somewhat Utopian view of the world. The idea was that music would lift man up to a higher plane, and that world leaders, if they were able to sit down on some big grassy knoll where the sun was shining and hear music - such as the type I was playing - would figure out that everybody had more in common than they had not in common, and it was certainly not worth getting in such a bad state of affairs about. Everybody in the world would therefore benefit from this point of view. Just basically that music would make everything better. And of course I've since kind of realized it doesn't work that way."
The studio recording used both a banjo and a prominent flanging effect, audible from the bridge until the fadeout. When released as a single by Warner Bros.
The commercial success of "Listen to the Music" helped the album "Toulouse Street" rise on the charts. The song remains a staple of adult contemporary and classic rock radio. The band also uses it as an encore song during live shows. Patrick Simmons, the second guitarist and vocalist in the group, sings the bridge of the song.
During the 1982 Farewell Tour, the song was the last one played on the set list as the encore with drummer Keith Knudsen singing the lead vocal.
