Now for the surprise I was previously mentioning - I’m going to have a contest here at Radio KRUD to round out ROCKTOBER and see how creative you can be. I want from you pictures, sounds, videos, whatever you have showing your prowess on the air-guitar! Best if it’s humorous or artistic. Dress up [...]

Come on. Don’t tell me you weren’t expecting a Halloween post. Well, I’ll start off this cliched post with a cover of a cliched Halloween song. It’s the Misfits doing a live version of the “Monster Mash”! Gotta love it, a punk version of a old-school novelty song from the 60’s. And even if this [...]

C’mon, people, only 151 149 more people as of this writing to visit the site until we’ve broken 3000 people for the month of ROCKTOBER. You can do it - it’s Daylight Savings Switch Day too, so that gives us an extra hour of ROCK! Just spread the word and cross your fingers. Today’s [...]

So how about that lunar eclipse we had the other day?
I’ve been on a Pink Floyd kick recently, so here’s a copy of “Dark Side Of The Moon” compiled from songs by four different groups - Easy Star All-Stars, Argentinian-based group UMMAGUMMA (which I’d say has the best site-design I’ve seen of all the Pink [...]

Alex of The Desert Fathers
Into crazy, heavy-hitting experimental rock? Then you’ll dig The Desert Fathers. From that link, just click on the “Adolf Hipster” picture to continue onto the main site. The Desert Fathers are definitely an odd band. When you hear their music, you’ll agree with their lyrics, “I feel like I’ve fallen out [...]

Guess who’s back / Back again / Glenn is back / with 2 “n”s!
Yes, I’ve returned, and yes, I happen to spell my name with two “n”s, thankyewverymuch (no thanks to the rest of the world - you become my arch-enemy if you insist on spelling it with only one! :P But I [...]

Rob Crow & Zach Smith
Pinback is the brainchild of the band’s key members, Armistead “Zach” Burwell Smith IV and Rob Crow, who have developed some of the best composed indie rock to date. All you need to hear for proof is “Offline P.K.”, the first track off of their album Blue Screen Life. The song [...]

In keeping with this blog’s Rocktober theme, I’ve chosen a song that’s gonna blow you away. Prepare your ears for “Liberty Bell” by The Gathering, a gothic metal band from Holland that have been together since about 1990. “Liberty Bell” is a track from How to Measure a Planet?, their fifth major release. It’s a [...]

The first item up today is very strange indeed, but very funny and worth a listen. It’s from Six Feet Under’s album Graveyard Classics, which is filled with death metal covers of songs that were influential to the heavy metal genre. Included is a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”. Yes, a death metal cover [...]

Klayton (a.k.a. Celldweller)
I was introduced to Celldweller by a friend of mine who idolizes the man. The first song I ever heard by him was “Stay With Me (Unlikely)” and I was completely blown away. It was like nothing I had ever heard before. The song is very complex with many layers of affected instrumentation, [...]
