    Anthrax & Public Enemy

    by  • February 26, 2005 • Uncategorized • 2 Comments

    From what I’ve read, Public Enemy and Anthrax have done a lot of touring together. In fact, Public Enemy was the first rap group to tour extensively with a heavy metal band. As Scott Ian, the rhythm guitarist for Anthrax, put it, “We were fans of Public Enemy and they were fans of ours, so [...]

    Jimi Hendrix Bootlegs

    by  • February 24, 2005 • Uncategorized • 6 Comments

    A few years ago, I ran across a couple lo-fi MP3′s from Jimi Hendrix’s live material. The songs are “Fast Blues,” which is a jam session, and a cover of “Like a Rolling Stone.” I’ve been able to trace the first song to a bootleg recording of a show Hendrix did with B.B. King at [...]

    So Radio KRUD is starting its Black History Month celebration a little late. But we’ll be going beyond the month of February. Yeah, we’re rebels. Rebels that can’t be contained by the Man’s schedule. I’m gonna kick things off with “Rumble in the Jungle,” the first track off of the soundtrack for the movie When [...]

    Pardon me if this post isn’t very well written. I’m still a bit under the weather and my mind isn’t going at full speed. But the post must go on… Well, I think a comparison between the Cinema Eye and Pretty Girls Make Graves wouldn’t be that hard, especially since those two bands are on [...]

    Soft

    Soft reminds of some of the better pop tinged rock ‘n roll from the 90′s. In fact, I immediately thought of Oasis’s album Be Here Now when I heard “You Make Me Wanna Die.” However, Soft does not sound like they’re copying Oasis’s style. They have an approach all to their own that has a [...]

    The Psychedelic Avengers

    by  • February 8, 2005 • Uncategorized • 3 Comments

    The Psychedelic Avengers are an interesting, sci-fi influenced band with a pleasant, ambient style. But I can’t accurately define their style myself, so I’ll use their self-description instead of trying to come up with my own: “It’s an interstellar meltdown of psychedelic, alternative, drum&bass, stonerrock, freestyle electronics, space pop, alien e-rock and folk … or [...]

    Mindless Self Indulgence

    by  • February 2, 2005 • Uncategorized • 24 Comments

    Mindless Self Indulgence is an… “interesting” band. Alright, they’re awesome. Plain and simple. They call their style of music “IndustrialJunglePussyPunk,” written exactly like that. That should give you a decent idea of what their music sounds like. But I guarantee you that you won’t be prepared. Their lead vocalist, Little Jimmy Urine, has an incredible [...]
