In many ways, the guys from ALSO are an anti-rock band. Drew Conrad, Scotland Stephenson, and Mark Zelen are all self-proclaimed neat freaks with families and day jobs. They don’t have tattoos. They don’t do drugs. They take naps. What is rock and roll about ALSO is their music. As a team, the three work together to create songwriting craftsmanship that is as fine as it gets. Each band member…

Last we left this amplified tribe of two on 2005’s Hypermagic Mountain, Lightning Bolt were tossing thousand of years worth of musical history into a wood chipper and coming up with some chewy chainsaw taffy. Their latest missive, Earthly Delights, comes after scrapping two entire full lengths. The doors of Lightning Bolt’s practice space literally spill forth giga-liters of sweat born of echo-stretched dedication to archeology of under-standing advanced musicology.…

Aaron Katz is the latest writer-director to tackle this particular brand of…
