As 2009 gasps its dying breaths, it's time for VLM to join the fracas of those looking back on the year. A full songs and albums list will be coming, but those will not happen till sometime in January, since I intend to catch up on all the unheard albums sitting in my iTunes library. As is my standard practice, the aforementioned lists won't be numbered, but more a gathering of greats with no ranking among them. But for now, it's time to give out some other prestigious and dubious honors for the songs, albums, and artists that made 2009 [...]
Super 400's Sweet Fist is out today. To get you all in the mood, I'm putting up my first ever Pile of Vinyl exclusive. At least, it's exclusive as far as I know - I haven't been told otherwise, so that's how I'm gonna hype it. I mentioned in my post on the band a while back that "Thorn Tree" was my favorite track on the new album. Since my blog usually focuses on non-album songs, the band sent along the original demo version of [...]
A few weeks back I turned you all on to Super 400, a rock band out of Troy, NY whose sound melded the best aspects of Led Zeppelin and Silversun Pickups, among others. They're third studio album, entitled Sweet Fist is due out September 15th, and with this new album, Super 400 could very well find themselves listed in the same breath with Kings of Leon and The White Stripes as bands who bring back the glory days of rock n' roll. Led by Kenny Hohman, a lead singer and guitarist whose brassy wail sounds like [...]
Here's some good news for the fans of power trio Super 400 . They've got a new album coming out September 15th. Given what I've heard, from it if you're a fan of their past albums, you will not be disappointed. For those who haven't yet heard of Super 400, they're a band out of New York that play straight ahead classic rock. With generous nods to the masters like Zeppelin and Hendrix, but with a modern edge that makes it their own. [...]
Over here in Chicago I don't think many of us have heard of Super 400 yet.... Yet. This is about to change, and that is going to be a great thing. Super 400 is a trio from Troy, NY that is completely rock and roll. I mean through and through rock and roll. Hard hitting, bluesy, and grinding that bass beat into the place in the pit of your stomach that makes you just a little queasy if you stand too close to the speakers, their new album, Sweet Fist has been on [...]
Today Pearl Jam sent "The Fixer", their first single from their ninth studio album Backspacer to radio stations, with a digital outlet release due tomorrow. "The Fixer" isn't what you'd commonly expect from Pearl Jam, but then again, Pearl Jam's sound hasn't really stayed put much in the last few years. This new single feels more jangly and pop oriented than usual. But don't be fooled, the guitars of Stone Gossard and Mike McCready are still as electrifying as ever, and Eddie Vedder doesn't sound like he's lost any of the fire he's had for most of the [...]

He goes on to say, "Sweet Fist" is a tremendous rock record, one that will please the band's current fan base [...]

Any Stone Temple Pilot fans out there? If so, this gnarly album is right for you. Super 400 are a new metal power trio making constantly loud jams—like The Cult, Velvet Revolver, Kings X, etc. They're straight outta Troy, N.Y., so they got the good suburban roots so essential to the kind of "teen angst" behind this genre. There's not a lot of up-and-coming rock bands making these albums anymore, so it's our duty as Americans to support them. Wailing, screaming vocals, blasting riffs off a heavy guitar, and heavier drums. "It's [...]
Troy, N.Y.'s power rock trio Super 400 have released their first proper video for their tune, "Emergency." Sound vaguely similar to Soundgarden and that's okay in my book. Few bands attempt to properly melt your face these days. It's not subtle music, but they bring the loud abrasive sound of like early nineties alternative rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =WQ0dJFlIvWU Mp3: Super 400 - "Emergency" 3 and the Beast is available now .

USA rock trio Super 400 is the kind of band that will turn a moderate night out in a small club into a big time event. They have a bag filled with slow moving rock licks on their 3 And The Beast album. Think Bad Company crossed with a mellow version of the Bachman Turner Overdrive . Super 400 : Joe Daley: drums Lori Friday: bass Kenny Hohman: guitar, vocals Tracks: Emergency Push Back Now [...]
