Albums of the Week by BLBC

[bright lights, big city]

I'm probably going to use this to post some heavier music, at least for now since I have some good shit coming down the poopshoot for this thread. First up, a friend of mine's band...

Bongripper - Satan Worshipping Doom (2010)



http://www.mediafire.com/?f8yjsw5zf863661

Genre: Doom/Sludge/Instrumental/Stoner
Sounds like: Yob, Buried At Sea, Old Man Gloom, Earth
When I looked for a song on youtube, I saw this comment that sums up this album: "I don't understand why there are so many shitty bands out there. I mean, seriously.... name your band Bongripper, name your album Satan Worshipping Doom, play heavy as fuck doom-riffs, and put titties and fire on your album cover. This isn't rocket science."

Good song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drzzGClaEKU

Smith Westerns - Dye It Blonde (2011)



http://www.filesonic.com/file/60111785/SmithWesterns.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?4c6yri9sc97s1my

Genre: Rock/Glam/Pop
Sorry this is another asshole Chicago band, but I've got high hopes for these guys. They're barely out of high school, but they managed to already create a record completely filled with catchy melodies and tons of glammy guitar hooks. The vocals might be kind of a love-hate thing for some. This has still been a consistent fixture in my music rotation since it came out in January. Their myspace page has their 2 popular songs. So I chose to highlight a different good-but-chill song here.

Smith Westerns - Smile

[bright lights, big city]

cooooool assholes, don't listen to my shit....


Cults - Cults (2011)



http://www.wupload.com/file/2669280/Cults.zip

Genre: Lo-Fi/Garage
Best songs: Bumper, Rave On, Go Outside, Abducted
This seriously just leaked, but it's instantly taken over my stereo. This is a GREAT summer album, I'd say in vain of Sleigh Bells, Vampire Weekend, The Drums, Best Coast. Not a single bad track on this album.

MAKE TIME by Cults

That song isn't even on it. For some odd reason they left it off. download that single track here: http://www.downloads.nl/music/Cults+Make+Time

[Crazylegs]

cooooool assholes, don't listen to my shit....

You scared me with the Smith Westerns. I didn't even give it a go, cause you classified it as glam.

[bright lights, big city]

haha makes sense then. Their music sort of reminded me of Bowie, that's where that connection came. If Bowie's glam, well then I fucking love glam then.

[Crazylegs]

Hmm, that's one way of looking at it. I too love glam then.

[bright lights, big city]

Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony (2011)



http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6IIECMIH

Genre: Italian-Symphonic-Mozartian-Blackened-Death Metal-with an incredible drummer (that'll scare everyone away)

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE - The Violation

[bright lights, big city]

It's been a long time, but I figured I'd recommend the new Baroness. Now that that is out of the way here's another contender for album of the ____. (Right now it's up for album of the summer)

JJAMZ - Suicide Pact
genre: Indie Pop
http://depositfiles.com/files/x8ea7pn13



JJAMZ - Heartbeat (With Lyrics In Description)
That song is one of only 2 songs up on youtube. Whole album is amazing, but that's nowhere near the best material.

[Crazylegs]

I retract my statement about bongripper.
