QRO Magazine weighs in on Goliathan’s Albion EP, out on vinyl May 29

Goliathan is a decently named metal extravaganza and what better way than with a Latin name and a mythic history narrative for doom metal. After all, most sludge bands pay homage to the darkness of politics rather than suffering for suffering only. Either that, or they cross deftly into stoner rock as instrumental bands, and Goliathan is an instrumental group for now.

What can really be said of a sludge instrumental band beyond being “trippy”? Well, for starters, Goliathan is still dark, and sounds like a band for vocals. Whether they are or not, the Albion EP is filled with emotional dark and drum fills worthy of any stadium, metal or otherwise. READ MORE…

American Songwriter debuts Sara Rachele’s new song, “Lover Can’t You Just Get Over It (Love Me Like You Love Her)”

Sara Rachele
Wielding a single acoustic guitar, Rachele strips away her exteriors to get to the heart of the matter, and her voice seems to flutter right up into the heavens. It’s exquisite, high-voltage art with plenty of plaintive streaks to provoke deep thought. The song comes on the heels of “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” and “Terry Richardson” and samples her forthcoming album, Scorpio Sun, (recorded with long-standing collaborator Spencer Garn) ? the companion follow-up to 2019’s Scorpio Moon.

Beats Per Minute: Radiator King’s Adam Silvestri lays bare the mechanisms of his head and heart on new single “Crusade”

There are admittedly few things from which to take comfort during the current social and political stresses, but new music from Brooklyn storyteller Adam Silvestri is certainly among them. Under the moniker of Radiator King, he has consistently offered fascinating detours through the dark atmospheres separating punk rock and the blues, a mournful parallel world where Josh White, Tom Waits, and The Clash regularly meet for impromptu jam sessions. Laying emotionally raw lyrics across arrangements both skeletal and carnivorous, he blends the direct perspectives of punk with the gritty landscapes of the blues, deftly tying together these often-raucous musical histories.

Rev. Greg Spradlin and the Band of Imperials release deep cut “The Maker,” from anticipated new album, Hi-Watter

From deepest, darkest Arkansas, we’re proud to welcome Rev. Greg Spradlin to the Baby Robot family. Check out his new deep cut “The Maker,” the first song to surface from the Reverend’s new album, Hi-Watter, an incredible set of songs more than 10 years in the making. This one is about when the Almighty and you don’t see eye to eye on how things are supposed to go down, and then He drops some hellfire that shakes your faith to the core.

Featuring The Band of Imperials, aka: Pete Thomas, part man, part machine, inspired and intrepid drummer for Elvis Costello’s Imposters. Guitarist and bass player David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, black-on-blonde Tele like a toy in his hands, the slicked-back, hulking picture of understated, impenetrable cool. And at the keys, pulling on the draw bars, stomping his feet and singing hallelujah, God rest his soul, the one man who could stand in for the inimitable Billy Preston, a close personal friend of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ—Rudy Copeland.

This song is a slow-burner. Stick around for the ending. “I’m not keen on a lot of long guitar solos,” the Reverend says. “But David and I playing together—there’s a conversation going on between our guitars. Everything you hear David doing is one take. It’s rare that he needs two. He’s so intuitive and responsive. It sounds like we’re having this Duane Allman and Dickey Betts conversation up in space. This one turned into something I never saw coming.”

Listen to “The Maker” here, and be sure to follow Rev. Greg Spradlin and the Band of Imperials on all your social media and streaming platforms.
