@johncalmc You know I've heard of Heilung before but not actually listened to any of their stuff. It's definitely something I could get into and does remind me of another band but can't for the life of me remember what they are called.
@render Do you ever listen to the Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio? I recommend it just for the chat even if you don't like the music, I think that there is a version available on the Absolute Radio website with just the chat, if you're intrigued.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I didn’t even realise he was on the radio so will have a listen. He’s a very funny guy so I’d imagine it’s quite good. I saw that 6music had to make an announcement about Keaveny leaving. It sounds like people generally thought he was pushed out rather than deciding to have a change, which he did cite as the reason.
@render I didn't realise that they had to make an announcement - did they just clarify it was his decision?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Herbie is a legend. I'll listen some more tomorrow but I can already say it's good.
In return - something completely different - new Sleep Token just dropped yesterday. One of the most unique bands to appear on the metal scene recently.
(full album in the playlist)
edit: the forum cut out the playlist part of the link so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0cCga9fhrh2U_0bE2D-NI...
@Voltan Sleep Token are certainly fairly unique, I listened to some of the album, will listen to more later as well, I really like the juxtaposition of the clean vocals and the heavy guitars, I doubt purists will think much of them, though. I enjoyed it, though, thanks!

@Jimmer-jammer I believe you liked something I previously shared by this artist (Foodman), now he's back with a new full-length album!, listen on Youtube and let me know what you think!

@Jimmer-jammer No problem, hope you enjoyed it - here is something a bit more experimental for you, from the soundtrack to a series of paintings in an exhibition - let me know what you think!

Went to see Newton Faulkner a few weeks ago, it was his first time performing since covid. Honestly, he's just amazing. So many good songs, he's so good live and it was just a feel good sort of night. Some of his newer stuff was awesome live, he used a lot of equipment to loop parts.
If anyone hasn't ever listened to him I would highly recommend it. I feel he should be much bigger than he is.
Also watched Black Stone Cherry in Manchester. Again, amazing. Such a good night, really enjoyed the gig. They just seem like genuinely nice and good guys. Sound so good live. Went away from that with a whole other level of gratitude of being able to watch that sort of music live again.
@NedStarksGhost Were those your first post-covid gigs? I'm going to see Marcus Brigstocke's Cabinet of Jazz in November, it's based on Dizzy Gillespie's attempt to run for president in 1964, he was going to have Miles Davis as head of the CIA and Malcolm X as Attorney General, etc. 😂 Also seeing John Scofield in November as well, if you haven't explored any jazz guitarists thus far and are at all interested in jazz then I'd like to highly recommend him.
@Jimmer-jammer@Voltan Any new recommendations for me guys? What have you been listening to lately?

@Jimmer-jammer Damn, Metric are still going? I saw them in London back around the time of Fantasies and quite enjoyed Synthetica after that but kind of forgot about them since.
Have you heard of The Joy Formidable though? In a similar vein, I caught them live back in the late 00s and loved their first EP, never listened to anything since but picked up their new album which is a corker and has slight Metric vibes to it at times (but with bigger guitars!)
@Thrillho Thanks for reminding me about The Joy Formidable. The only album I'd listened to of theirs was The Big Roar which I just looked and was released back in 2011. Crikey!! Will check out the new album.
Golden oldie for you, you're probably already familiar - fan of this band? If you like the Pumpkins, Nirvana and that lot then I'm sure you already know them, if so, what do you like about their music? And if not, what do you think of them?
