Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands // Vulture Funk 7" Do I post too much Waylon Thornton? Is that even possible? No, I didn't think so. So anyways, two years ago Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands recorded this 4 song EP of riotous blues punk called Vulture Funk. Fast forward to modern day and said EP is seeing a physical 7" release via the New Zealand label Perpetrator Records . Given how generous this band has been in the past by giving [...]
*PREMIERE* Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands // Berger Picard For the record (just so it's perfectyl clear) Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands is not a solo project. If Waylon is flying solo he just uses his name (simple enough). Add the "Heavy Hands" tag and that's a whole different story… that makes it a family affair. You see Waylon's wife Meg plays drums and her presence is where the Heavy Hands comes in. And I'm assuming it's a play on words because Meg brings [...]
Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands // Bored & Alone I've been a fan of Waylon Thornton 's since I first heard his haunting Paranormal High School release last year. His fascination with darkness and the macabre is a sentiment that I completely identify with, and his lo-fi garage rock just has this feeling that is more befitting of a romp in the graveyard instead of some sweaty rock venue. Waylon Thornton's new album is supposed to be called Melted Rings, but his blog states that they are scrapping it [...]
This playlist has been mutating since the beginning of 2011 and to be honest I'm kind of fuzzy on what songs were initially there. I can tell you that some of these songs are by my friends, and that three of them (You Don't Surf, Losing It and Plastic Fangs) were added about fifteen minutes ago. More importantly I can tell you that this mixtape sounds exactly how I've been feeling for the past two weeks. Hopefully listening to it will be as soothing for you as making it has been for me.

Dreams? Sixteen hellish nightmares more like (although I suspect that rather facile joke has been made in just about every damn review of this album so far - it's just too easy too avoid). But yeah, this is rough as fucking balls this is, and fucking awesome with it. Sixteen songs, under twenty minutes long, this is an album which doesn't fuck about it just gets on with making a stinking racket, slapping you around the face a bit and then buggering off. Songs like Barf City might seem a little much in isolation, but oddly [...]
Cotes du Rhone is our default red wine of choice in this house, and after yesterday's birthday celebrations being cut rather short due to my feeling shitty, we are having a quiet evening in with a couple of bottles of red wine, a bacony, beany stew and we are going to light the fire for the first time this Winter as well. There is nothing remotely related to that on this podcast of course, but then these titles have become increasingly unrelated to the actual podcasts themselves recently so I doubt that'll surprise anyone. In fact, [...]
Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands - Vulture Funk Jheri Evans original viddy.
It is so fantastically nice to hear a noise explosion like Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands produce on "Born With Two Heads." It's a somehow digestible take on big, brassy rockabilly-style rock and roll, and it bowled me over when I first caught wind. Like a surge of dirty electricity surging up your arm [...]
