Ever seen a band photo that's so completely awesome that you HAVE to check out the band?

That's happening to me right now!  

I see that unreadable band logos have been a thing since WAY before there was black metal  

Seriously, what the hell does that say? "Bubble Puppy?" "Bubble Gypsy?" "Bubble Guppy?"

 

Anyway, on topic...

Dirty Rig - Rock Did It
Megadeth - Endgame
Rush - Counterparts
"Queensryche" - Frequency Unknown

Bubble Puppy

Bubble Puppy (also known as The Bubble Puppy) is a Texan psychedelic rock band originally active from 1967 to 1970. They are best remembered for their Top 20 hit, "Hot Smoke & Sassafras".

Thanks. Terrible band name...sounds like a bad "educational" cartoon show aimed at preschoolers.

Reading their biog, the other interesting thing about Bubble Puppy is the fact that they started at the top (their first gig was supporting The Who!! and a big hit single) and worked their way down until they had achieved total obscurity!  

Oh and the name is from Brave New World (the book, not the Maiden album  )

etc.

Nice!

 I definitely prefer the Sirius B disc from this double release.

Candlemass - S/T
Mount Salem - Endless

Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East
Keldian - Heaven's Gate

Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence
Queensryche - The Warning
Fates Warning - No Exit

Also, a ton of spotify radio; mainly stations based off of prog metal (Blotted Science, off the wall type stuff, not so much the Dream Theater camp) and traditional metal.

I HATED that first 'Parallax', complete meandering garbage, is the second one worth bothering even at all?

'No Exit' is my favorite Fates Warning record.

You heard Twisted Into Form? Do so if not.

I'm a pretty big BtBaM fan, so take that into account. I LOVE the second Parallax. But being honest, if you didn't like the EP at all, you probably wouldn't enjoy II.

I wouldn't say No Exit is my favorite Fates album, that'd go to either Parallels or Awaken the Guardian. No Exit still slays, though.

That's a Forbidden album, right? Can't say I've ever jammed it, but I've heard of it.

Nope, Twisted Into Form the band, since you were mentioning that type of prog metal. Former Spiral Architect members with David Husvik on drums, one album and it's fantastic and underappreciated.

now playing: the Coast to Coast from Sunday night..
