Kinski is a really great band who hasn't released an album in a while. But now, they are out of the studio and ready to drop Cosy Moments on us on April 2nd and we couldn't be more pumped. Listen to Last Day on Earth and Conflict Free Diamonds here!
We all love supergroups. Who doesn't? Anyways, this one was formed in 1994, with Pearl Jam's Mike McCready on guitar, Screaming Trees' Barrett Martin on drums and blues bass master John Baker Saunders (on bass, of course). The three began to rehearse, and after writing a couple of tracks including this one, they brought in Alice in Chains' frontman Layne Staley.
River of Deceit was released in 1995, the first single from their only studio album Above. They say much of River of Deceit was inspired by Khalil Gibran's famous book The Prophet, which Staley was reading during the recording of Above. It was also partly inspired by his fight with drug addiction that unfortunately led to his death in 2002.
The song was received well, and still connects with us quite a bit. We loved it when it first came out and still do, and hope you do too. Listen to it here and treat yourself to a 5 minute documentary on Mad Season that is very very cool.
Windsor, Ontario's incredible two piece super talent rock dudes have an album called How's That Sound and you owe it to yourself to listen to it immediately.
These gentlemen also have two Toronto dates coming up in March, one on Thursday March 7 at Dakota Tavern, and another Canadian Music Week on Thursday March 21 at Rancho Relaxo. Get there.
Incredible tune from Stevie Nicks, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Rami Jaffee. Recorded on the original Sound City board from the incredible documentary of the same name, Sound City. Amazing.
