MANHIGH  -  ANTARCTICA

CANDLEBOX - VEXATIOUS

KEITH SECOLA - NDN KARS | STARTS AT : 11m 30s
KEITH SECOLA is an ambassador of Native rock and roll. For more than 20 years, he has remained a defining force in the community - a beloved singer, bandleader, and activist. In December, DON GIOVANNI RECORDS celebrated the 25th anniversary of SECOLA's 1992 debut album, CIRCLE, with a CD reissue and a first-time vinyl pressing. The record - a compilation of songs that were initially released on small run cassettes - is a defining work of Native Americana and contains SECOLA's most beloved song, NDN KARS. There are plenty of rock 'n roll songs about cars, but SECOLA's ride is a different type of vehicle. It is symbolic of community, rather than individualism. "My car is dented / the radiator steams / One headlight don't work/ But the radio can scream," he sings. "At that time the connotation of an Indian Car was negative. To me, it's [a song] about the richness of being poor," writes SECOLA. "The essence of the song is in the line, 'I got a sticker says 'NDN Power'/ I stuck it on my bumper /That's what holds my car together." Belief in a higher power."

BOBAFLEX - LIGHTS OUT

RED VELVET CRUSH - STATE OF EMERGENCY

THE OUTFIT - SOLDIER BOY | STARTS AT: 33m 03s
ROADCASE ROYALE - HOLD ON TO MY HAND

VAJRA - THE MIRROR

COSMIC WOOL - #LONELY | STARTS AT 53m 15s
The material on the COSMIC WOOL's self-titled full length is a very personal affair and the culmination of years of tearing down and rebuilding. HOLE FOR MY HEAD is one of the tracks featured on the band's debut EP and is the bridge from the members past bands till now. "It was a pivotal point in the writing and a cornerstone early on," explains frontman RADO ROMO. The only song to have a music video done and played on radio, it is most recognized for the high, raspy vocal and desert rock momentum. #LONELY takes a smoother pop-rock, almost blue-eyed soul approach, while still falling in a similar vein. A clean, telling vocal intro wastes no time in delivering the atmosphere of a broken heart over a building guitar and synth, while ONLY 2 takes a jump back & forth between both worlds: hanging out in the guitar rock universe, while also firmly planted in a drum and bass groove, the instantly memorable chorus vocal holds you there till it is launched to the top in a way only RADO ROMO can do. The song comes to a climax with, arguably, the most gnarly guitar solo of young NEVADA ROMO's career.
