Damned Implant – St. Helens, England, United Kingdom. Soaked in dark, damp but oh so inviting dirty Blues Rock, Damned Implant have recently released a politically charged two-piece assault on the current order of things.

The English Language – Portland, Oregon, USA. Mother Tongue, the latest album from Portland based The English Language not only boasts some gross but pretty rad artwork, it also holds twelve full-length tracks oozing with trippy beats culminating a Grunge meets Psychobilly meets Punk mess!
