      There are roughly three groups of people that are aware of The Horrors. First is the cult following that have been devoted to the charismatic group from its Ramones-esque beginnings. 
    • Concrete and Gold
      Upon first listen, Concrete and Gold—Foo Fighters' ninth studio album—may land with a bit of a shrug, relying on overly familiar hard rock grooves and staying largely in the band's comfort zone. The riffs crunch and Dave Grohl alternates between soft balladeer vocals, a gruff snarl, and occasional scream.

Rock Chick(s) of the Day:  The Big Moon – Sucker

Posted by falconi5 on September 3, 2017

The Big Moon, formerly The Moon, is an all girl band from London. Sure, Comparisons to The Runaways will be the flavor of the day comparison here, but The Breeders by way of The Pretenders with a dose of Patti Smith would probably be a bit more accurate.  Their debut release, Love in the 4th Dimension, is a scorcher and as good a debut album as you will hear this year.
