New music discoveries
I've recently been going all out to find new music and thought we could use a thread giving each other a head's up on new music we may not have heard of.By new I mean to you,since we have such a variance of ages here I'm sure that some of us may be aware of the artists mentioned but nonetheless I'd like to get an idea of other stuff out there.
If you'd like to add a link or copy and paste an article that'd be great. I'm going to start with Earl Slick and I can't say enough good about his project Zig Zag.10 songs in all the project includes a few instrumentals as well as some special guest singers including David Bowie whom Earl has played with.My personal favs are the songs 1735 and Zig Zag. Here's a little more about him. Earl Slick: Six String Outlaw The image of the journeyman guitarist is one of modern day rock and roll folklore. The idea of the lone gunslinger, a six string outlaw that brings their magic to all the world's stages before riding off into the sunset leaving us to wonder when they will return. Earl Slick has been an in demand guitarist for the better part of 30 years having played on the most pivotal of albums by none other than David Bowie (David Live, Station To Station), John Lennon (Double Fantasy, Milk And Honey) and Ian Hunter (Overnight Angels). However, after years of constant touring and recording, Earl was exhausted spiritually and creatively and headed off for a much-needed break in the early 90s. Disappearing for a few years, Earl was on the road once again with David Bowie in the summer of 2000 and has remained with the band touring numerous times and appearing on Bowie's "Live At The BBC Theatre" and "Reality" albums. Having his creativity sparked by this recent activity, Earl began writing in earnest, the results of which produced his sterling new album "Zig Zag". Eager to talk about his first solo album in 12 years, Earl Slick graciously spoke to MusicTAP recently before finishing the first US leg of Bowie's "Reality Tour" |

Kick ass-I haven't found many that know them. I really think some of their stuff is very under appreciated. I always thought they sounded like a cross between NIN and the Chains. The singer kicks ass like Staley.

They were just another band I really dug in that same time period - end of high school.. Their second release wasn't my style and I never cared to sample the 3rd.

We probably have similiar tastes. Surf's up. That's too cool that you dig Vintage Eyes.

Some people really enjoy music-I think it's cool when some can relate to each other just by a choice of tunes. What's some of your other faves?

I know there are others who dug "Taproot".
WTF happened to those guys? Sign to another label, maybe? Their first two albums were gold.

You might like Technical Ecstacy by Sabbath it's one of the most underrated albums, IMO.

Yup
I listened to "bitch", "home", and "waffle" before that song. They're playing with STP and Chevelle in KC on June 7th

First planeteer to recognize this band. I've mentioned them on several occasions.
