Music Thursdays

So its been a week since I started this blog and its that time of the week again.

First off, A funky tune that I reckon quite a few people will like

Guts le Bienheureux - And the living is easy.

I first found this tune whilst trying to drunkenly find Mungo Jerry "in the summertime" and I was glad I did. I search for the lyric "And the living is easy" and found this. Little is known about Guts le Bienheureux (the artist) however he can nail a tune. It’s a funky number (with a bizarre video), that is infectiously catchy.

Second up,  Karma to Burn - Thirty Four 

This is a band I had heard murmurs about for a while but never got around to checking out. It was my loss. First, a little about Karma to Burn. This band started in 1997 and then called it a day in 2002 before reforming in 2009. They specialise in pounding instrumental stoner rock, the riffs are thick and hypnotic.

Thirdly and Finally, Sofa King Killer - Taller Buckets Hold More

 

This is a band that many of you will not like, but that some will love. This band are relatively unknown (even in the stoner rock/sludge scene) and they did not last long (they split up a couple of times, but they have been inactive since around 2007). They only released one album, plus a couple of EPs and a split album. 

They are however amazing, they can craft bluesy, thick riffs that captivate. Words fail to describe the ability of this band to create a song with so many crushing and emotive riffs (only Down have this ability. They have weird but brilliant lyrics and vocals that are whiskey and smoke drenched. Enjoy.
