H. E. Kyburg, Probability And The Log ic of Rational Belief

Still disenfranchised about American society and riled up about it, the former Dead Kennedys singer takes issue with Wall Street, Hollywood, consumer nature, fast food, and white people in general on Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine's third album, White People & the Damage Done. Backed by a musically fierce band that includes Ween/Butthole Surfers bassist Andrew Weiss, drummer Paul Della Pelle, and guitarists Ralph Spight and Kimo Ball, the 54-year-old frontman sounds as spirited as he did in his early days. In fact, for the fast, furious "Road Rage" and "Mid-East Peace Process," he and his band match the blistering energy of early-'80s American hardcore staples like Black Flag (good to see that Keith Morris' OFF! isn't the only group carrying the torch) and, yes, the Kennedys.

This band again deals multiple influences, which in the end makes the sound hard to define. It sounds dark and into bombast arrangements, sometimes reminding me of the mysterious and somewhat ritual style of The Virgin Prunes, but then also more into psychedelic treatments. The vocals of Marthynna remain pretty intriguing and only accentuating the occult side of the sound.

Digitally remastered collection of rare studio recordings from punk icons Iggy Pop and The Stooges recorded in the same year the band released their seminal album Raw Power! Includes gems such as “Cock In My Pocket,” “Tight Pants,” “I Got A Right” and lots more, remastered to pristine audio fidelity for a unique look into one of the greatest punk rock bands ever!

A melodic hard rock group from Sweden, H.E.A.T materialized in 2007 with a sound built on a foundation of classic hard rock and late-'80s-inspired commercial heavy metal. They released an eponymous debut in 2008 and found success after a strong showing at the 2009 Melodifestivalen with the hit "1000 Miles." They continued to find favor with melodic rock fans both at home and abroad on subsequent outings like Tearing Down the Walls (2014) and Into the Great Unknown (2017). Three years later the band returned with H.E.A.T II, which marked a return to the heavy melodic rock of their earlier albums.

The ride through H.E.A.T City continues! After hymns of praise from media and fans for their latest album "Force Majeure", Swedish heirs of 80's Hard Rock H.E.A.T promise to deliver more of the same energy with their follow-up "Extra Force"! Last year's most significant change to the band's line-up is the return of original singer Kenny Leckremo – "Extra Force" for the first time includes tracks previously sung by Erik Grönwall now with Kenny on vocals. Everyone who has seen them live knows: these guys give everything on stage! The four in 2022 live recorded tracks capture the energy of their dynamic live performances.
