Cross-posting here with an article I just did for the Boston Phoenix (my day job, so to speak). Its a review of a Pelican show here in Boston, but I'm posting here not to talk about them--Pelican gets plenty of press--but instead to plug one of their opening bands, Clouds. The two are labelmates on the eminently credible Hydrahead records, but Clouds eschews the experimental nature of a lot of the HH releases in favor of a bad-ass balls-to-the-wall-man bitches brew of Classic Rock, Stoner Metal, and no-frills hardcore. The band features Cave In axeman Adam McGrath on lead guitar, and he lays down some spicy blues licks over a hard-charging, head-banging rhythm section.
Fans of The Sword, Priestess, Valient Thorr, and really anyone who likes awesome rock should check out their relatively recent demo at LegendaryDemo.com, where it can be streamed in its ass-kicking entirety.
