Category: Metal Tuesday

I like that Bowling For Soup will take a common theme – the bad guy all the girls want – twist it, and then play it straight.

This kinda typifies why I like this band. They have very witty and self-aware lyrics.

I like doing odd things in June. So, this month will be “Bowling For Soup Month!” Mostly because I just went through their discography and really liked it.

So, we start out with the song that brought them to my attention.

The Brother: Derek, you should check out this band. It’s right up your alley.

He wasn’t wrong.

This is one of those that will get stuck in your head. I may know this from experience.

Off their new album.

Black Label Society is one of those bands I need to be in the mood for.

In this age of lockdown, there are a lot of bands doing online concerts. Though you need to buy a ticket for some, some bands are doing theirs for free and hoping for donations.

One of my favorite bands is Disillusion, and they did a free concert a couple of weeks ago and have also released it on YouTube:

I have also purchased tickets to another show (Insomnium/Omnium Gatherum) and am looking forward to buying more if I hear of more bands I am interested in.

Check in on artist you like and see if they are doing the same. If you can afford it kick them some cash – either through Patreon or other channels (buy some of their music on Bandcamp or merchandise).

With everything closed down, we still need to support the arts if we can.

You ever see something from your childhood and realize how much it influenced your tastes? I went back and watched The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers cartoon from the eighties. Wow, that explains my sci-fi western interests. Anyways, someone did a nice metal cover of the theme song.

Another ear worm for you to peruse.
