Mojo’s Pick of the Week: LoNero

Mojo — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:46:15 +0000

The namesake of founder Bill Lonero, LoNero is a groundbreaking Bay Area guitar rock band that originated a style they call Guitarcore, which is their term for melodic instrumental rock that stands on its own without the need for a singer! Bill and his hallmark purple Peavey Wolfgang fronts the band with a ferocious dedication to pure musicianship.

Last year they released their acclaimed second album J.F.L. (or Just Fucking Listen), bringing a new twist to their unique brand of guitar rock with groovy “punkstramental” songs like “Fat Tat.”

LoNero prides themselves on their live shows, and are about to embark on a tour as the backing band for Paul Di’Anno, playing classic Iron Maiden from the first two albums. Think about that for a second – they are standing in for Iron fucking Maiden playing with the original singer! This you have to see, if they come anywhere near you!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Orthodox Fuzz

Mojo — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:45:58 +0000

If you like Southern fried stoner rock that will put the hair back on your chest, you MUST check out Fort Worth’s mighty Orthodox Fuzz. I’ve been following these doomy fuzz rockers for years, and they’ve just released a new EP called Ritual Volume that simply blew me away.

New singer Andrew Kimbrell sounds like he’s been there all along on tracks like Masquerade and Southern Witch. Big guitars, powerhouse vocals, driving beats, the Fuzz have everything I love in a rock band.

If you like Corrosion of Conformity, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Godsmack, you must check them out! They are playing this Friday the 16th with Kill Devil Hill at the Boiler Room in Dallas. If you can get there, get there! If you can’t, at least grab the $4 EP, you won’t be disappointed!

Command Decision.

Mojo — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:42:33 +0000

This week I will finally be putting the She Likes Black EP to bed. I have made a command decision to bump the newest song to the next EP, due in the Spring, title TBD. I’ll be digging deep for the next one, pulling out some songs I wrote a while back and finally finishing them up!

She Likes Black has been delayed way too long as it is — personal issues, technical difficulties, stuff you just don’t even want to know about, but it’s done. Mastering next, then it’s all yours! Look for an announcement some time in the next week. I’ll make it available on Bandcamp and mojosarmy.com, with selected songs on Soundcloud. Rock on!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: BOTTOM

Mojo — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 23:46:03 +0000

BOTTOM is a mega-heavy metal trio fronted by Les Paul abuser Sina D’Crime. Originally from the Lower East Side of NYC, BOTTOM has risen like a phoenix in San Francsico with a new rhythm section and heavier-than-ever grooves. Since the early 90′s they’ve played with everyone from Acid King to YOB, including Electric Wizard, Monster Magnet, AFI and countless others. BOTTOM’s sound blends a raw, punky NYC influence with a San Francsico stoner fuzz groove to wild effect.

BOTTOM’s latest offering, a live-in-studio EP titled MMXII just dropped, and you can preview and purchase it at their Bandcamp site. You can also catch them live in San Francisco and San Jose in the next few weeks, including a date at Bender’s next month with my friends My Victim on the 29th! You know I’ll be there!
