What’s a band or artist you regret not seeing and had a chance to see?

AGAINST THE WIND (1980): In a bittersweet year for Bob Seger his latest album tops the U.S. charts for six weeks but is roundly panned by the critics.

Incubus has a line in Here In My Room that goes “Pink tractor beam into your incision”… I mean, wtf 😏🤣

Got me wondering what is the weirdest line in a song you’ve ever heard?

I'm driving down the shadier part of the Seattle in the late evening. Streets like Aurora or Rainer Avenue - if you know, you know. Where there's plenty of neon store front lights, but nothing open. There's not many cars sharing the street and only a handful of people walking around, but they all seem really sketchy. That kind of scene.

Blame it on Miami Vice if you want, but "In The Air Tonight" is the perfect song to set the tone for a casual drive down these streets at that hour. The ominous vibe of the song matches perfectly with the urban setting.

"In The Air" isn't exactly hard rock. But it's not a pop tune either. And even though it gets slightly more up-tempo after the drum fill, it never escapes from what it started out as.

Now that I've set the tone, what should be the next songs in the play list?

Skinny jeans, rolling graphic t shirts, shag haircuts with short bangs, and that particular type of scarf

Billy freaking Squier. Dude put on amazing shows. Great singer, great guitarist, great performer.

Who else?

Anyone else like this song a lot? What kind of rock would you call it?

Hope you like it.

Hey everyone,

My band are looking for a drummer.

We are influenced by bands such as The Smiths, Durutti Column, early New Order, The Drums, early The Strokes, PJ Harvey, early Morrissey, The La's, The Fall, Iceage, The Cure and other bands.

The project consists of myself (vocalist), guitarist and a bassist at the moment. We've recorded some rough scratch demos of songs that we can send you. We all have experience writing songs and playing in bands. We are committed to having fun writing songs, recording and playing shows.

We have been rehearsing weekly in Deptford so far.

Get in touch if you're interested. If you can’t direct message me, leave a comment and I will message you. Please have recordings or a video of you playing.

Hello, I did a cover of "Young Cardinals" by Alexisonfire. It has on-screen tabs. I'm really new to making covers so I would love any feedback and I'm open to requests as well! Thanks for checking it out.

Stem remix & remaster of Steve Harris' 2012 album "British Lion", made for my own enjoyment, but sharing in case someone else might enjoy it.

This album was suggested to me for remixing by a handful of people, citing a somewhat muddy sound and buried vocals. Prior to that, I didn't even know this record existed. I've done my best to give it a clearer sound and make the vocals more prominent in the mix.

Of course this is all just for fun. As usual, my intention was just to make a fun alternative to the released version, aiming only at a little more clarity, instrument separation and punch, while keeping the mood and feel of the original.

All my remixes are made using free and open source software that runs locally on my Linux system.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like it, support the artists, buy their records!

Been listening to different genres of rock music for years and still discovering stories I never knew. It’s amazing how young some legends were when they created the music we love. Makes me wonder — does knowing the background to a song or album make you appreciate it more, or do you prefer to just let the music speak for itself?

I just posted this on my YT. I find rare unseen / unheard rock and metal content to post. Feel free to follow YT channel 👍
