New Music/Video
Rise Against- Nod https://youtu.be/7WkrZi19q4UNew mix sound for the band. Lyrical’ly seems to meander, and at times it feels like is wanders into territory already covered in “Savior.”

Allegaeon- Driftwood https://youtu.be/SrUZdqy7spAas much as I don’t WANT to like these guys, they are just really damn good. This might not be as good as their last single, but still better than a lot of newer bands.

Callous Daoboys- Two-Headed Trout/The Demon of Unreality Limping Like a Dog https://youtu.be/wL5UpOrHTBYThe Daoboys getting a little more theatrical with not just their presentation, but also their writing and arrangements.
