Dan Mangan – Losing My Religion [Listen]

Before he heads off on his North American and European tour and promote the 2018 album More or Less.
Dan Mangan today dropped his cover of R.E.M.’s Losing My Religion.
The song is featured on the CBC Limited Series “Unspeakable”
Dan about the cover:
“When I was a kid, REM was a staple in my household,” says Mangan. “I remember air guitaring to this song with my brother and sister. It was such a massive hit but also so unlikely a candidate to be so. The chorus isn’t really a chorus. It’s long. It’s repetitive. It’s like a hypnotic cyclical trance of words that stick with you even if you have no idea what they’re about. I really wanted to try and approach it from a new angle. There’s no point in attempting to sing like Michael Stipe – there is only one Michael Stipe. So I tried my best to let it live in a new light while paying homage to the original.”

Eye Bender – Angel of Darkness [Listen]

Previously posted in 2018 on this band.
Today the Asian fronted band from Vancouver called Eye Bender released their song called Angel of Darkness.
About the song:
“Angel of Darkness” is Eye Bender’s second single to be released: A classic rocker that leads us into suggestive 70’s atmospheres, a common reference of the band. Where chorus and voice perfectly work together to amplify the overall melody that becomes a sort of devilish chant/litany.
The song narrates of a cursed angel forced to walk the earth in a perpetual search of lost souls to steal, following a lyrics’ tradition very close to that of Black Sabbath.
Through a time-honored rock intro, ‘Angel of Darkness’ gradually drifts toward the end into a powerful solo guitar that helps once again to remind us those inspiring classic rock’s moods but in a contemporary key.
Have a listen.

Mike Krol – Power Chord [Review]

Mike Krol‘s long awaited fourth album Power Chord comes out on January 25, 2019.
It’s been four years since his Merge Records debut Turkey.
Picks up where he left off with his high octane garage power pop music.
Judging by the album cover, the theme on this album is about disappointment, heartbreak, being knocked down and insanity about music (No not about his love life).
A cohesive tight garage rock production that doesn’t sound sloppy at all.
Still has that angst in tracks Little Drama, Left for Dead and Nothing to Yell At.
