Record Club Vol. 20: “Era Vulgaris” by Queens of the Stone Age
The four of us have this tradition we call “Record Club”. It’s like a book club, but with music. Every Sunday one band member picks a record for the rest of us to listen to. It’s a pretty sweet excuse for us to hang out together, drink beer, and talk about our favourite bands.
This week, Zack chose “Era Vulgaris” by Queens of the Stone Age.
“Everything in this record is a perfect extension of the musical ground they have already covered. They maintain familiarity while also breaking brand new ground, production wise, not to mention melodically and structurally. My favourite part of this record is the exploration of contrast, making sections ‘pop’ through a variety of methods (through either dynamic shift, rhythmic shift, textural or melodic shift between sections, or sometimes all at once). Not to mention that it has a brutal and machinelike core. So wicked. Also, Josh Homme - nuff said.” - Zack

This week, Zack chose “Suicide Invoice” by Hot Snakes.
“So good. And so many awesome bands’ existence can be owed to this bands influence. They are completely a culmination of the post-hardcore movement, as they continue the punk tradition (challenging the status quo) in their own way. To put it simplistically, they have expanded the palate of punk music, and the breadth of the musical ideas inherent to punk songwriting. Outside of the figurative meaning though, these are just awesome songs - and when they were released they offered an unusual vitality. A stand out track for me is Bye Nancy Boy.” -Zack

“Admittedly, I don’t know too much about this band and I don’t love every song on this album. But the strong songs are so good that it makes up for everything else. Tracks 1, 5, and 10 are personal highlights. The dudes voice is so awesome. And the female vocals match his perfectly.” -Stefan

Record Club Vol. 13: “Riposte” by Buke & Gass

This week, Steve chose “Riposte” by Buke & Gass.
“I often don’t enjoy duo projects but made an exception for this duo of prog-folk-weirdo-hippie bike mechanics from Brooklyn. The instruments are homemade — ‘buke’ being a handmade baritone ukulele and ‘gass’ being a mix of guitar and bass strings. Like the instruments, the hooks are very unconventional — on tunes like “Revel In Contempt,” one of the strongest hooks is stated once but never repeated — and songs are interspersed with short experimental interludes. This music isn’t for everyone; it takes multiple listens to get through their densely layered songs. But if you spend some time with this band, you’ll definitely find something you like.” - Steve

This week, Zack chose “No Control” by Bad Religion.
“Back when they weren’t ubiquitous, cerebral punkers, they were creating a path for critical (of both self and otherwise) thinking in punk. To me, this album perfectly describes Bad Religion at it’s core. Fast songs, tight harmonies, complex lyrics. Definitely a formative album for me.” - Zack
