Interesting @Giles. Blue Monday is definitely a) a symptom of # generation, and almost exclusively a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon, for obvious seasonal reasons.

I agree with the interviewee too, I'm torn between the label raising awareness of mental health, but somehow diminishing the very real difficulty it causes many people in their lives.

I have an antidote… Just try not to smile

That little girl is so precious. The rest of the family ain't too bad either.

[Giles]

I failed.  I smiled and laughed-out-loud the whole way through….

More or less a joke band, but the songs are catchy.

Current new obsession:

ELDER.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Graham I love Elder

[Aetas]

@Graham:

Current new obsession…

… GOLD & SILVER  .. and more. Like it @Graham

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I got kind of burned out on them but you gents would like The Sword as well.

[Aetas]

Thanks @Filthy recommending The Sword

RIP Tony Rice

LOVE The Sword @Filthy Great call.

Was massively into Age of Winters and managed to catch their first UK show supporting Nebula a long time ago.
Have been blasting that and High Country (their second best album in my opinion) a lot at HQ recently.

If some one is interested …

@Aetas @Graham here is a similar band I am sure you've not heard. I'd be shocked if you did.

@Filthy A couple good buddies of mine are in Gatecreeper. Have you checked them out? They just put out a new release last week.

@Palmer I will check them out. I haven't heard of them. I won't be able to listen to this until a little later. Thanks.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I take it nobody was into the Floor album I posted… but I love that so much. It has probably the heaviest 'song' I ever heard. I could listen to that album on repeat. It's a great alternative to OM and the Melvins when I grow tired of listening to that all the time.

Last song on the record is the heaviest:

Probably my favorite song on the album:

And their reunion album is really good too, and the vocals are not as in your face;

[Stuart.T]

@Filthy I have owned and loved that album for many years. Used to blow my mind that Floor and Hot Water Music shared a label (No Idea, out of Florida).

@Palmer I've got Gatecreeper's first 2 albums on cd. Thanks for the heads up, I'll pick this up. Are some of these dudes in Mammoth Grinder too? Can't remember.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Steve Brooks singer and one guitar player is also in a similar band called Torche if you haven't heard them. But I am sure you have. Floor had a bunch of eps from the 90s I don't care for as much. They were more of a powerviolence band.
