  • Robyn Covers Erasure For BBC Radio 2

    Robyn is still making the rounds in the long tail of her Sexistential campaign. Today, that path has carried her to BBC Radio 2’s studios for a performance on Jo Whiley’s Sofa Sessions. In addition to album tracks “Dopamine,” “Sucker For Love,” and “Talk To Me,” she broke out a cover of Erasure’s 1994 synth-pop ballad “Always.” Her treatment is faithful to the original while sounding distinctively Robyn-esque. Check out all four performances below.

  • NEW SOLACE!!!!!


    SOLACE: FADING FAILING RUIN

    If you’ve followed my posts for awhile, you’re likely aware that Solace is one of my all-time favorite bands.  I was on the Metallica bandwagon from the moment I first heard “Phantom Lord” back in 1983, when the band was still playing small clubs, and have been a huge fan ever since.  But ask me if I’ve listened to more Metallica or more Solace over the years, and the answer is definitely Solace.  Something about the guitar tone, the songwriting, and in the beginning, Jason Limpantsis’ incomparable vocal talent and energy made Solace a band that I have never been able to get enough of.  Solace moved on from Jason at vocals back in 2019, but Justin Goins has fit in quite nicely.  Although no one could ever replicate what Jason brought to the band, the two albums with Justin hold their own against any heavy rock albums you want to stack them up against.  
    First, if you haven’t already heard it, check out the first pre-released track, which has been stuck in my head since the day I downloaded it, no exaggeration:

    And here’s the epic closing track.  For me, it’s a top 5 all-time Solace tune.:
     
    As I’ve said before, the guitar work of Tommy Southard and Justin Daniels is as distinctive as any other duo out there, and is a huge reason I’ve never yet gotten tired of any of Solace’s albums or even any single track they’ve released.  My Solace albums are as timeless as any other I own, and this is why I pre-ordered a physical copy of Fading Failing Ruin the day I found out about it.

    Check the rest out on Bandcamp.  The full album was released on July 3rd.


    Solace are:
    Justin Goins: Vocals, Lyrics
    Tommy Southard: Guitar
    Justin Skyler Daniels: Guitar
    Mike Sica: Bass
    Tim Schoenleber: Drums

    Also appearing on this album:
    Pelle Andersson: Keyboards
    Eric Rachel: Keyboards
    Duane Hutter: Slide Guitar

    The album is dedicated to former singer Jason, as well as another friend of the band named Tim Cronin, both now deceased.  May they rest in peace.
    This was Jason, one of the greatest singers ever in heavy music:

    Go forth and be heavy, and listen to Solace!!!
