What the band does during this track is throw in screaming, metal-like vocals with a set of instruments that would work well in a Fu Manchu or a CKY…
I acquired the top 75 tracks on United Kingdom radio for 10/28. I realize it’s a week or so old, but here are a listing of the top tracks I found that either will be or are big in the United States or will be secreted away for only UK audiences.

Really boring alt Canadian rock by this 5 piece band in 1994. While the music is actually pretty decent, the whole sound is dated, but Pax Arcana aren’t to blame- they released this when all alt rock was popular. “Pears” is a rocking song that has a definite Pink Floyd sound. “Walk” goes from whiny indy rock to a hard rock sound. “Mesmerized” goes from a good song to crape.…
Pilgrimage is the third sacred voyage of drone mantra purity from Om! Helmed by the master rhythm section of Chris Hakius (drums) and Al Cisneros (bass) – both formerly of doom/drone gods Sleep – Pilgrimage contains four brand new songs featuring the group’s unique use of riff, cadence and chant. Lyrical themes address the processes of mind, psychic reality, astral and causal planes of being, and the nature of the…

While each of the members are still in their teens, The Frantic has played Warped Tour and shared stages with Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Riverboat Gamblers, Pink Spiders, New Found Glory and Youth Brigade to name a few.

1995 on Super Mono Records, with 9 songs, and its another horrible piece of Canadian Rock. The album sounds like ba recorded and distorted 60s pop down to the cheesy vocals and organ. This is also a 5 piece band. The distorted guitar riffs are really annoying. However, “Who Cares” is an groovy song with cool vocals and no distortion, but good audible bass.”Stories about stupid people” makes me want…

First To Leave – Forging A Future / 2007 Wednesday Records / 12 Tracks / http://www.firsttoleave.org / http://www.wednesdayrecords.com / Man, I had no idea that First To Leave was going to sound like how they end up sounding at the beginning of “Forging A Futureâ€.

This was released in 1999 on Vegas Records, and it has 14 songs. Cost to me: Free. Pain is an odd sounding band: combining Nerd Rock, Rock, and Ska to make a very catchy sound. THe vocalist sounds like the guys from They Might Be Giants, various new wave singers, and 70’s rock singers. Pain sounds like a major label band, with an extremely rich and well produced sound. It’s…
