The Black Angels - Indigo Meadow (2013)

Being the preeminent retro rockers of the last decade, along with Queens of the Stone Age, Wolfmother, and of course every underground act in the stoner/psychedelic rock scene, the Black Angels have returned with a stalwart pack of new songs. "Indigo Meadow" is about 45 minutes of rugged, solicitous rock n' roll. It has the preciseness of primal post-punk in arranging the melodies and rhythms , as well as 70's psychedelia and acid rock's indulgence.

Whores - Ruiner (2011)

Sharp-edged riffs, sudden tempo shifts, and even the font of Whores' logo all remind me of noise rock veterans Helmet. They melt the noise rock of Unsane with Fu Manchu's fuzz, and put some Buzzov•en-type sludge on top of it to get you one tasty lil EP, making you give eyeteeth for more. And in the end, you'll be the deer and them, the deerstalkers.

One Inch Giant - Malva (2011)

From Hendrix's fuzzed-out blues to Pentagram's acid doom, there's the riff that outlasts pretty much anything else. In a musical setting rather similar to the Doménec Pascual Badía-esque artwork of "Malva", One Inch Giant play toothsome stoner rock; vocally somewhere stuck between Trippy Wicked & the Cosmic Children of the Knight and Blitzkrieg, and; musically, Leadfoot, Buckaduzz, and Leaf Hound.

Butterslax - Corn Burglar (1995)

One of Bill's first ever bands -- that is before he joined Lethargy -- was Butterslax. Just like Troy's band, Knuckle, there's hardly any info on the band members, but at least the demo they did in 1995, called "Corn Burglar" can be found on the internet. Whoever did the vocals was for one, a capable fella, sounding as sharp and unique as some of the finest vocalists from the 90's, say John Garcia or Layne Staley. Their music, also, stands out just as solid. It incorporates a multitude of styles, from math rock of Big Black to plain fuzz and grunge of early Mudhoney, all played in a fairly no-nonsense fashion of a faster, more hardcore variation of Fugazi's post-punk.
