John Garcia

John Garcia's a busy hombre these days. The former KYUSS/HERMANO and current VISTA CHINO and UNIDA vocalist wastes no time throwing a solo album into the market while his iron's red-hot. What you might expect in the way of stoner and psych-out jams is what Garcia gives you, but it's not entirely KYU...

Swedish trad metallers GRAND MAGUS have enjoyed a respectable global following as a subtler Scandinavian answer to MANOWAR. As would be expected by their seventh album, "Triumph and Power", there's no letting up with these guys. Consider this one 2014's best album to read the latest issue of "Red So...

Aria

Once known as VISA (assumedly changed by objection from a certain credit card carrier),the L.A. based VIZA have made a powerful ally in the form of Serj Tankian.

The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS used to sing in their zany years that Catholic school girls rule. You needn't be a charter member of the Chester the Molester brigade to pull the sexual connotation from that song.

Now that the brief psychobilly rampage through the punk underground has quieted down like another here-and-almost-gone fad, it's mostly down to the main core of veteran bass-slappin' happies likes NEKROMANTIX, BATMOBILE and the original Psychobilly Freakout himself, Reverend Horton Heat.
