Andrews Rock Blog

I was surfing around the ‘Net today and visited one of my favourite sites - RollingStone.com. Today, writer/reviewer/rock journalist extraordinaire David Fricke posted his latest “Fricke’s Pick”, where he discussed seeing a performance by a Swedish band named Graveyard (ooo, scary) at the South By Southwest Festival. Curious, I googled their myspace and took a listen to a few songs the band has posted.

Wow.

Suddenly I was in a time warp back to the early 70’s stoner, headphone rock. The sound of the vocals, the overall production of the material is just such a throwback, but in a good way (and doesn’t that picture above really recall a young Black Sabbath?). Like the Panic At The Disco album I wrote about a few days ago, the guys in Graveyard are clearly wearing their influences on their sleeves, and they seem to have the chops to pull it off. I found the three songs on their myspace good enough to make me want to track down the album.

I’ll post a low quality video below for you to peruse, but I would recommend visiting the band’s myspace here to hear some clearer and cleaner tracks. Take a listen and let me know what you think.  You can also use the band’s name as today’s bonus code. And thanks to David Fricke for turning me (and maybe you) onto some cool new music!
