Song of the Day-Monobrow-"Dyatlov Station 3 (Unrehearsed Jam)"

"Dyatlov Station 3 (Unrehearsed Jam)" is one of two new tracks hot off the presses by Canadian Stoner Metal all-instrumental band extraordinaire Monobrow. It is easy to see why this band is one of my favorites. This track is the band in their rawest form and the music flows without any imperfections. Solid moving bass lines, shredding guitars and rapid off-kilter drum beats show why this band is so stellar. For more information, please check out the following links: Facebook | Bandcamp

Zac's "Double Dose": Monobrow / Vulture Kult

Monobrow: Bennington Triangle Blues 

Today's Double Dose is brought to you by our Canadian friends from the north and the letter H, for HEAVY! That's right an all Canadian, all day long dose-age of double the heaviness! First up we have Monobrow an instru-metal trifecta well versed in Iommi-ism. Where the majority of instrumental bands fail Monobrow excel. Using a Mariana Trench like depth for the lows and straight groovy arrangements Monobrow do much more than simply hold a listeners attention. Be sure to spin my favorite track Mordrake's Revenge below, from their excellent sophomore release Bennington Triangle Blues. If you dig it, and I know you do, get over to bandcamp and be sure to check out the available vinyl releases and killer merch!

Vulture Kult: Dont' Let Rock N' Roll Ruin Your Life 

So two dudes up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan grabbed me by the collar, kicked me in the balls proudly proclaiming, "We remember rock n' roll!"  Well, not literally, but that is definitely the vibe emitting from Vulture Kult. This dynamic duo released their second full length album, entitled Don't Let Rock N' Roll Ruin Your Life, this past summer. The music is bold, fast-paced, and full of energy mirroring the intoxicating nature of each guitar lick. Pushing play begins a twenty-five minute onslaught of righteous rock n' roll glory and gritty attitude. The album checks out with a reprise of atmosphere-laden melancholy freeing listeners from an addiction only Electric Medication can ease. The jams are streaming over at bandcamp and can be purchased at the Vulture Kult store.  What are you waiting for!?

New Band To Burn One To - Monobrow

 

As also seen on The Soda Shop

Monobrow is the next New Band To Burn One To.

Monobrow was formed in Ottawa early 2009 when bassist Sam Beydoun and guitarist Paul Slater (formerly of Vancouver's Sir Hedgehog) first jammed with drummer Brian Ahopelto of Acres fame. Sharing a common love for adventurous, underground heavy rock in its many guises, the group quickly built up an impressive repertoire of original songs over the next few months. While not setting out to be an instrumental group, the chemistry between the trio was strong enough that no one wanted to risk messing up the vibe. More importantly, Monobrow felt that the songs that were being developed were strong enough to stand on their own as instrumentals, often with improvised segments within the compositions. In the late summer of 2009, Monobrow entered Yogi's Meatlocker Studio and emerged with a four song recording, which gained significant airplay on Carleton University's CKCU station. This positive response was soon followed by Monobrow's live debut in late 2009. Monobrow's sound can be described as riff-based hard rock, with psychedelic flourishes, and a sense of jamming contained within strong songwriting.

These guys have some pretty cool tunes goin. They have a few tracks over on their Myspace page but their full length album can be streamed, and bought, over at Bandcamp.
