Full Circle

On the surface, Michigan working-class heroes CHROME HELMET (named after a song by Detroit's BIG CHIEF, whose artist Mark Dancey supplies the cover here) seem like any other bunch of earnest lunkheads bashing out their quasi-original tunes in a shitty bar after a long week at their respective jobs....

Ladron

Kinda jammy, kinda sludgy, somewhere at a dusty crossroads between stoner metal and sparse indie rock, TOTIMOSHI have been a hard-touring, genre-defying bar-band staple for a few years now. Fans of THE HIDDEN HAND and KALAS will wanna dig into "Ladron", its desert-baked skeletons of riffs coming off...

Prone Mortal Form/Innocents

Make no mistake, this reissue is a labor of love, Boston's ONLY LIVING WITNESS not making enough of a dent even years after their demise to warrant this sort of archival caretaking. Hell, you can buy both original CDs used for a few bucks if you look a little! So why is Century Media digging ...
