Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday
What’s this then? A Quick Fire Friday round? We haven’t done one of those since somewhere around March when that Icelandic volcano first erupted. Since then we’ve had volcanic activity around the globe but no Quick Fire Friday… Even though… We know… It burns hot like molten lava! Ho ho ho! And we know, we know, the albums and bands deserve more than the few words we will jot down here. More attention and more of our time! But there is so much out there and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! Let all that’s good and heavy burn you!
Panic Population – Panic Population
It’s a new project by Idlewar founding member Pete Pagonis, and we like Idlewar and we like Pete and we perhaps should have mentioned it sooner, cause the alt-rock vein exposed here demands our attention and our needle. So go shoot up and experience this psychedelic garage rocking panic!
The Dry Mouths – More Oo No Fluid
A new single by The Dry Mouths you say? Why yes please! Slater me up with that stuff and let it sit there for an incredibly long time, just listening to More Oo No Fluid on repeat. And hey, did you say there’s also a wicked video accompanying this track? There is. Go check that out here on this thing called Youtube. And as always, you can listen to the instrumental dreamy desert haze that it The Dry Mouths on bandcamp. Sweet!

Fliptop Box – Final Scene
Formed around 2003 somewhere in Athens, it’s Fliptop Box! (Say that twenty times fast!) And the new album of this grungy quartet is called Final Scene. Eight tracks that meander through the alternative rock and metal styles, with grooves a plenty and riffs galore! And hey, they’re from Greece… Did I ever tell you about the time I discovered the Mastiha drink for the first time?

Fairyport Convent – Fly United
We can’t keep track man! Fairyport Convent is a one man project and it has been releasing a steady stream of EP’s per month. Sometimes even two a month. Insanity is waiting just around the corner, together with the one-armed man and that guy with his tambourine, which isn’t the same guy, cause a one-armed man can’t light a cigarette and play the tambourine at the same time… Or can he?
Hope Hole – Death Can Change
“Once upon a time there was hope. Until we threw it all down that hole over there. Come closer. Lie down in the dirt. Hang your head over the edge of the abyss. Do you hear that? It calls. What sweet music they make. Hope Hole is Matt Snyder and Mike Mullholand. We take our inspiration from the uninspired, the enlightened who know there's no escape. No one here gets out...” There you have folks! Hook, line and sinker! They’ve got us, with their gothic psych and dark rock. Doom noir anyone?
Prehistoric Pigs – The Fourth Moon
And we end this Quick Fire Friday segment with a bona fide firecracker! Six track release The Fourth Moon by Italian trio Prehistoric Pigs. Out November 26th through Go Down Records the Italians are still intense and heavy zealots. It’s got atavistic stoner, ancestral sludge and derelict doom for you to bathe in. And just like bathing in a certain moonlight will turn some of us feral, this one will turn everyone wild and crazy! Go check it out! Check'm all out!
