If you are, or you’re aspiring to be a metal head, you know the band Kylesa. Formed in Savannah, GA in 2001, “Descend Within” is from the band’s debut self-titled album. Known for their many interpretations of metal, “Descend Within” was laid down on a day the band felt like stoner-rock and math-rock sound awesome together, and they do.

Taking a page from Devo and a chapter from Alice In Wonderland, Berkeley’s Fashion Slaves let the styrofoam cat out of the styrofoam bag with their first mp3 release. It’s short and sweet and crispy and fun I can’t get that riff outta my styrofoam head. NY art rock, gone hella east bay. I love it.

Harnessing sheer rock power for the forces of good, the Gore Gore Girls strut their stuff with boldness and attitude, throwing down dirty grooves and instigating scenes of libertine abandon in nightclubs around the world – and it’s not just because they’re hot; although, their music is hot. “Casino” is off their latest album, Get To The Gore. Fans of Detroit’s never-dying garage rock scene will approve.

Wow!! My favorite San Francisco Bay Area bands VUE is back with a new EP and a nouveau sound. They’re still acknowledging their strong bluesy-rock roots, but there is a new glossy and decadent flavor in their music that is…how do I say…a little more grown up and polished. With their major label debut due out shortly, these talented kids are destined for major stardom!

Toronto based band Death From Above 1979′s music will incite riots. Officially broken up in 2006, the band reformed in 2011 and played SXSW last year. There was a riot at that show. I’m not surprised, their music engulfs you like a punk rock tornado and doesn’t let go until the final note. See what all the fuss is about with “Dead Womb,” the opening track to their 2002 EP, Heads Up.
