Song of the Day-King Ghidora-"Dust"

"Dust" is taken off of the first release from this band consisting of members from Tricorn, Contra, Dragon Eye Morrison and Arcachnotaur. With doomy layering and nineties grunge influences, this song weaves in and out of your psyche with strong melody, intricate beauty and unbridled passion. I dig it!

Tricorn - "The Walk of Shame"

Lock up your wives and hide your daughters (and make sure all the household pets are alive and accounted for as well while you're at it) because those pirate bastards in Tricorn have set sail from their native Portsmouth again with all sorts of nefarious shenanigans in mind on their sophomore voyage The Walk of Shame. It becomes immediately apparent on leadoff track "Lady" that their campaign for world conquest will be advanced through the employment of pulverizing riffs and pummeling rhythms, as well as vocals from Paxo Dyne that are straight out of the Lemmy school of larynx shredding (actually to my ears they're highly reminiscent of Orange Goblin's Ben Ward). They also employ a secret weapon that is often underutilized by many bands today: the infectiously memorable chorus.  Hell, I've probably sang the line "Play your lady's favorite song; I'll slap that ass and move along" so much at work since hearing it I'm actually in danger of being sued for sexual harassment.

Melodic choruses aside, The Walk of Shame is far from a civilized tea-and-crumpets affair. From the reptilian brutality of "Serpentine" to the pugnacious pugilism of "Step Outside", Tricorn instigate their aural onslaught with all the subtlety of a broad axe being wedged in your cranium. The track that's easily the most emblematic of this savage assault is "Falsify". With a deliciously wicked riff (and a decidedly eighties vibe) it jackhammers its way into your skull and pulverizes any grey matter it encounters. Elsewhere, "Astral Dreams" undulates its syncopated charms while "Black Devil's Smoke" insidiously infiltrates your consciousness with a hazy diabolism. In sum what these swashbuckling hooligans have unleashed is a collection of tuneage suitable to serve as the soundtrack to all your pint-swilling, tart-shagging, head-banging adventures.

New Band To Burn One To-Tricorn

The "New Band To Burn One To' today is Tricorn.

Rising from the UK’s south coast underground music scene, Tricorn emerges with a powerful driven sound, capturing the feeling from the stoner and Hard Rock genres. The result is an impressive demonstration of “in-your-face “ adrenaline fuelled southern rock riffs that grab you from the first note and just won’t let go.


Influenced by bands such as Kyuss, Fu-Manchu, Black Sabbath and the early 90’s grunge movement, their music generates a back-to-basics simplistic formula combined with an overdose of vulgar low tuned guitars and ear bleeding drums.

The band’s impressive live performances were quickly spread out through the word of mouth and have made them an established headlining act through the UK and other European countries such as Greece and Germany. Now with their Debut Album out, it's time for the public to hear themselves what this Stoner/Hard Rock band is all about.

"Stoner Rock on steroids. Tricorn blasts their way through each song with power, groove and melody. A truly great album for any fan of the heavy rock genre."-Reg

"...Tricorn’s adrenaline-filled formula has out stayed its welcome on the South Coast, and should now be docking in every corner of the globe. This is an album that any lover of the rock or metal genre needs in their collection, an awesome slab of blistering modern day rock..." Chybucca Sounds
