WOLF EYES

BY ANGIE MARTIN

Tracks called “Stabbed in the Face”, “Dead Hill” and “Choking Flies” give you a pretty good indication of what to expect from longtime Detroit-based noise rockers Wolf Eyes. The innovative threesome brings raucous post-industrial noise to audiences that are stockpiled with the Rock City’s hardnosed attitude. Each track is haunting in its own right and brings forth thoughts of the underworld and the dark side of humanity that all humans possess but rarely contemplate. Depending on your mood (or theirs), their music can be almost atmospheric and enlightening or it might conjure nightmares of evil snacks slithering after you as you’re trying to escape up a clock tower (or maybe that’s just us). Either way, the band delivers thought-provoking and body-shattering music in truly sinister fashion.

WILD BELLE

BY ERIN MALYSA

If you were going to attend a summer pool party in Venice Beach, you’d probably hear Wild Belle playing softly over the speakers creating a chill, relaxed vibe. Natalie Bergman’s cool, hypnotic vocals wind and course over the psychedelic dream pop arrangements created by her brother Elliot. This brother/sister tag-team from Chicago play with fusion and experiment in sound, all while keeping their dreamy backdrop consistent. On their sophomore album Dreamland, Natalie channels the vocal stylings of Elle King on the song “Coyote” by howling the lyrics: “No use for faking / Pirates gonna try and take it / Drop me in the sea of blood / You can take my money and run / Down on my knees and begging.”

TOOL

BY SAMANTHA LOPEZ

Formed in Los Angeles in the early ‘90s, Tool are pioneers in the alternative heavy metal movement. From the very beginning, the band was effortlessly able to combine mid-paced guitar riffs with melodic, abrasive vocals and opaque lyrics as never done before (or since). The release of their second album, AEnima (1996) went triple platinum and solidified the band’s success in musical experimentation, often combining contradictory sounds of both soft and heavy or gentle and intense. Years later, the band has won three Grammys, has performed worldwide tours, and has produced records topping the charts in several countries. More importantly, Tool recently announced in a U.S. tour after a nearly 10-year hiatus.

THE WEEKS

BY JONNA NEWBERRY

Like a lot of bands, these Mississippi rockers met in high school. And the Jackson quartet wasted no time in touring and signed with indie label Esperanza Plantation to release their 2008 debut, Comeback Cadillac. The band’s straight-up rock and roll vibe gained the attention of Kings of Leon, eventually earning The Weeks a spot on Kings of Leon’s label Snakes and Serpents and a nod on KOL’s European stadium tour. The latest single from The Weeks, “Talk Like That”, is an energetic anthem that makes you want to (for lack of a better term) rock. And the band’s ferocious live shows prove that it will not take weeks for you to become a fan.
