Cory Wells – ‘Harboring The Hurt I’ve Caused’ (Pure Noise Records)

Posted by | Mar 16, 2024 | ,

It can be difficult to admit that the problems in your life may be no one’s fault but your own, to own up to the damage that you have done and live with your mistakes every day, realizing that you’ve been blind, and then once you can finally confront  the fear that the end is certain, begin to settle into that reality. As much as we all hate to admit it, it’s a situation we all experience, and one which is at the heart of this second album from Cory Wells (not to be confused with the former Three Dog Night singer of the same name) – and one he addresses with the easy eloquence of an expert songwriter.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Living Dead Girl

Posted by | Mar 15, 2024 | , , ,

Monk’s latest pick of the pops comes from a band who sew together elements of gothic metal with industrialized pop punk like Dr Frankenstein with a turbocharged soldering iron in one hand and a bottle of Buckie in the other… Well, they do take their name from a Rob Zombie song, so what else would you expect but acts of depraved audio and visual ugliness, as evinced by this latest offering from the Florida-based al-metal extremists?

They say that what goes around comes around, and it could be argued that Scott Stapp’s career most certainly has come full circle, from sitting on top of the world with Creed, notching up chart-topping hit after chart-topping hit, before sinking to the depths of despair and virtual anonymity, watching his former bandmates go from strength to strength while he tried to pull himself out of the gutter and rebuild his former career, until finding himself in the situation he is today – once again energizing his ‘Higher Power’… a declarative album that sees him reinvigorated and rejuvenated and, yes, quite possibly at the height of his powers.

Monk’s latest selection comes from the boundary-expanding genre-redefining alt-rock artist known as De’Wayne, who is proving there is nothing synthesized in what he does – just a passion for expanding those boundaries and redefining those generic terminologies in a way few have attempted since Prince melded metal and funk with hip-hop and pure unadulterated pop ethics.

Artificial Language – ‘Distant Glow’ (Self-Released)

Artificial Language are a band very close to Jase W’s heart following on from their pretty spectacular album full of busy riffs, epic choruses and stuff that generally really scratches that brain itch he has for intense melody in his metal. So finding out that there’s an EP due soon and he had the privilege of getting an early peek at it wasn’t something our man could pass off when he’s hoping they return back to this side of the Atlantic every day after seeing them at TechFest back in 2022.
