27 November 2020
HAULT hailing from the underground rock scene in Wellington, New Zealand and taking inspiration from the biggest names in rock like Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Tool, Kings X mix metal, heavy rock and psychedelic influences into a pummeling sound.
Imagine Queens Of The Stone Age having a sonic fight with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden as the referee. Lots of decibels, indeed, as you can hear on their smoking Brother EP with four red-hot-blooded ass-kicking knockouts. Four riff-crazy jackhammers with a bang-on beat and dynamite vocals. Test your speakers, pump up the volume. Hell bloody hell yeah…

Triple Album ‘ALL THINGS MUST PASS’ By GEORGE HARRISON Came Out 50 Years Ago
26 November 2020
Artist: GEORGE HARRISON
25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001
Album: ALL THINGS MUST PAST
Released: 27 November 1970 – 50 years ago
Pitchfork says: “Given his own studio, his own canvas, and his own space, George Harrison
did what no other solo Beatle did on All Things Must Pass: He changed the terms of what an album could be… With its sheer size and heft and gravitational pull, All Things Must Pass reinforced that the album could be an epic novel for a different sort of age… All Things Must Pass is a monument to impermanence that has never once, even for a moment, left us.”
Full review here . Score: 9/10.
George Harrison: “The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962.
The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.”
Turn Up The Volume: Harrison was so much more than a member of the Fab Four.
Singles: My Sweet Lord / What Is Life
– MY SWEET LORD –
– WHAT IS LIFE –

Ultimate 2020 American Idiot Protest Song – KONGRESS With ‘THE UGLY AMERICAN’
26 November 2020
KONGRESS featuring political troublemaker Otto von Ruggins is an experimental, New York based, act being around for light years. Their mix of Space-Goth-Tribal-New-Wave rock is thrillingly mental. Think legendary Devo fooling around with avant-garde weirdos The Residents. I know, anything can happen.
Latest single THE UGLY AMERICAN says it all. I’m quite sure this psych-o-delic saga is inspired by 1958 novel The Ugly American by Eugene Burdick and William Lederer.
“The concept of Freedom is not what it would seem to be, even here in the United States. Under the present regime, Freedom has been curtailed by the dictates of a White House that wants a purified race, purging its citizens randomly via weapons of war” says von Ruggins.
Need anymore hints about this loud and clear rant. I don’t think so. megalomaniac
Donald Dumped is, without a shadow of a doubt, the equivalent of the ugliest American ever in America’s political history, who tried/tries to shut up anybody who does not lick his ass and represents the historical evil forces of the land of the free and home of the brave.
The Ugly American
Hiding in the shadows
Glaring in the spotlights
Claiming they’re our heroes
While they violate rights
Killing with immunity
Some because they’re not whites
Failing the community
Causing protests & fights
Some adhere to statues
That camouflage the treason
The ignorance that they choose
Tradition is their reason
They honor flags of race abuse
No matter who’s dehumanized
Remnants of slavery with a noose
Keep black people traumatized
Let’s roll…
