What are you currently listening to 2026?

Nice! I was listening to their latest album the other day. I had shied away because I’d seen them called metal and I’m not usually a metal guy, but this was something else. Great record. I think I got into them because of a post here a few months ago!

Jason, David, thanks. I’m just waiting for the gig to start now. I’ve been listening to their latest album today - House of Mirrors - and I think I like it even more than their previous one (Nothing as the ideal), which I thought was great.

Regulars on my Spotify Blues Rock playlists. Watched a few of their tube vids and they seem pretty solid live. Enjoy the show ! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Just went through this. Tiny Desk & NPR usually offer some great stuff, and once again this is really nice.

edit: Damn! I don’t remember how to link a YT video :frowning:

@TDS17 thanks for posting this.
I wasn’t aware of RyG and I spent the last couple of hours mesmerized browsing their YT channel.

This collaboration with Metallica’s Rob Trujillo is pure fire :fire:

I’ve just discovered this live recording and, man!, I’ve never thought you could make a whole song built around just ONE chord (E, becoming E7 at some points) and still make it sound awesome!

Nice one! Derek Trucks looks so young!

I didn’t recognize the first guitarist (leftmost from our POV)

Doyle Bramhall II ? I think… He’s left-handed and often played with EC.

I have been digging on Khruangbin and Leon Bridges lately, this song is called B-Side.

Khruangbin is the trio on instruments and they are out of Texas. They hooked up with Leon Bridges and he did vocals for a couple of LP and they have been touring since. I would like to catch one ofnthe shows. The shows are super wild often part of crazy and trippy festivities.

You know I had to learn the cool funk riff too. So rad. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

This popped up in my YT feed and was a nice interlude, with a feel of Within Temptation and Evanescence but the female vox has a slightly different twist and good to boot !!

Last year I started working on an OT entitled Deadman Walking, inspired by Skynyrd and a couple of other tracks of the same name. I parked it as I nearly lost my other half due to a cerebral virus that’s still impacting both our lives today. The track name made it too raw to pursue after those events but time moves on.

Against The Current ticks a few boxes for me and they are a real band out there touring, unlike the influx of AIToobers in this and other genres !

Time to resurrect the project ? Maybe its time but still raw. End of the day as the Irons once wrote ā€œAs soon as you’re born you’re dyingā€. We’re all on borrowed time.

Keep it real, keep it pure and keep it rockin !

It was incredible! I can’t believe they are 60+, they still play like they are in their twenties. You couldn’t notice drop in quality and energy was definitely there. I can’t wait for a new set on Sunday. :grin:

This is Fade to Black intro on the Greeny. That guitar had some incredible journey!
