Curated by Monk
So, here we are, poundin’ ‘n’ pummellin’, stompin’ ‘n’ strollin’ our way towards the tail end of the first month of what is already proving to be another busy rockin’ ‘n’ rollin’ year here in the Überverse… We’ve the death decks fully cranked up, and the amps set so loud that the neighbours are gonna enjoy some of the finest sounds around (whether they want to not!) – just as are you, our loyal readers… so, grab a chilled beer or three and settle into your favourite armchair and enjoy our latest selection of the hottest aural delights to have come our way over the past seven days:
Asylum Road ‘Cut To The Bone’ (SODEH Records)
We start in our backyard, from where this melo-groove quartet serve up the third sample of their upcoming sophomore EP:

The first of two back-to-back releases from our home city sees these Belfast indie rockers serving up their latest standalone DIY offering:

I can think of no better way to round off this week’s selection than in the company of a collective of members of Hüsker Dü, Social Distortion and Soul Asylum, who close us out with this slice of raw, road-hardened energy from their upcoming new album:
So, there you have it, our latest baker’s dozen of selections to kick off a new rockin’ ‘n’ rollin’ week in… well, rockin’ ‘n’ rollin’ style. We’ll be back same time, same place next week (indeed, next month as it will be) with another selection of the finest tunes which will have been embracing our eardrums in the intervening period. And don’t forget to check out our daily picks as well… In the meantime, keep ‘er lit, keep ‘er between the hedges and keep on Über Rockin’ in the free world \m/
