Farmikos

FARMIKOS, the new Los Angeles-based band featuring former OZZY OSBOURNE and DAVID LEE ROTH guitarist Joe Holmes, Vocalist Robbie Locke, bass player Robert Trujillo (Metallica), and drummer Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion).

This band has a lot going on based on what I have heard and they def have an Alice in Chains sound to a lot of their music.

Welcome back Joe! I was hoping for a whole cd but 4 track e.p. will work for now. Love the solo starting at around 20 second mark.

Who is the singer? Excellent set of pipes, But it would be nice if the voice was higher in the mix. Just MHO. Mix of A.I.C. & Soundgarden.

Doing some research I found this band and I actually really enjoy it. Same Robbie Locke? Def hear the resemblance.

5th Song Spoon and Sun available now

THanks for the heads up lithead   

Farmer who now?   

Seriously, what the hell does that band name mean? Haha.

Not easy to name a band these days but it's a derivative of pharmakós (Greek: φαρμακός) in Ancient Greek religion was the ritualistic sacrifice or exile by the sorcerers of a human scapegoat or victim. The victims themselves were referred to as pharmakoi and the sorcerer was referred to as a pharmakon.[1] A slave, a cripple or a criminal was chosen by the pharmakon or sorcerer and expelled from the community at times of disaster (famine, invasion or plague) or at times of calendrical crisis, after being given pharmakeus or drugs by the pharmakon or sorcerer who was a practitioner of pharmakeia or pharmaceutics. 

"Spoon & Sun" is another excellent track from Farmikos.

Nice opening riff, killer vocals & guitar work! Look forward to the new song next month
