Beards & Denim: Heavy Rock 68 to 79

This download is a selection of heavy rock from between 1968 & 1979. It was put together by The Loftmonkey in one of his more ‘rock’ moments and he's even included some notes & comments on each of the songs. There's some real classics on here as well as some lesser known songs so time to grow yourself a beard, get the denim on, stick your thumbs in your belt loops and start to rock.

DOWNLOAD THE BEARDS & DENIM COLLECTION

Here's the tracklisting (320kbps)...
01) Everything I Need - Tiger B. Smith (Germany 1972)

Power trio from Frankfurt heavy on riffs & hair but light on subtlety. Taken from their seminal debut produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks.

02) T.N.U.C. - Grand Funk Railroad (USA 1975)

Live offering from Detroit's finest. Unashamed crotch-thrusting, foot-on-the-monitors rock. For more on Grand Funk, consult your school library.

03) Ain't Gonna Take No More - Highway Robbery (USA 1972)

Obscure trio from their sole album. Nice wailing vocals.

04) Searching For A New Dimension - Mariani (USA 1970)

Even-more-obscure Texas power trio. From their 1970 unreleased acetate.

05) Hard Rain Fallin' - Sir Lord Baltimore (USA 1970)

Legendary New York trio rocking out. Taken from their debut album "Kingdom Come" famous for the fact that a 1971 review contained the first documented use of the term "heavy metal" to refer to a style of music.

06) Shot Down In Flames - AC/DC (Australia 1979)

From "Highway To Hell"...

07) Persecution - Third Power (USA 1968)

It seems that Detroit skipped psychedelia & went straight from garage rock to heavy rock (Stooges, MC5, Grand Funk etc.). In 1968 when most bands were folking themselves silly & putting flowers in things, bands like Third Power were turning their Marshalls up to 11 & rocking (as they say) out.

08) I'm A Man - The Yellow Payges (USA 1972)

LA heavy garage rock outfit with some wild psychedelic guitar shenanigans.

09) One Eyed Jacks With Moustaches - Slade (UK 1977)

The Black Country's finest rock out in the year of Punk. Kipper tie, Noddy?

10) Do It - Pink Fairies (UK 1971)

Debut release by freakrock/festival legends formed from the ashes of Mick Farren's Deviants.

11) White Lace & Strange - Thunder & Roses (USA 1968)

Philadelphia power trio from their sole album issued in 1968. This track was covered by Nirvana for a radio session in the late 1980's.

12) Brighton Rock - Queen (UK 1974)

Before they became awful, Queen could occasionally rock with the best of 'em as evidenced on this opening track to "Sheer Heart Attack". [Ernest's Note: This album was the first ever record I really wanted. Shame, as you say, they became shit.]

13) Summertime Blues - Blue Cheer (USA 1968)

The god-like genius of Blue Cheer's debut album "Vincebus Eruptum" should never be underplayed. Named after a brand of acid, the San Francisco trio's take on Eddie Cochrane's standard captures their style perfectly. Guitarist Leigh Stephens claimed in a 1980's interview that he hadn't actually taken acid... he was lying (as evidenced during the middle part of the song... “Snap out of it Leigh, ya trippin' fool!!!”).

14) It Couldn't Be Me - Power Of Zeus (USA 1970)

Back to Detroit again for a slice of heavy pysch from their sole release.

15) Angeline - Genesis [USA] (USA 1969)

One-off single release by US rockers Genesis who had nothing to do with Phil Collins (mercifully).

16) Bad Woman - Speed, Glue & Shinki (Japan 1972)

Thoroughly unhinged power trio from Japan who named themselves after their favourite drugs (apart from guitarist Shinki Chen who named himself after, um... himself). Taken from their self-titled second & final album.

17) Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath (UK 1971)

How else to finish? All hail Black Sabbath. From their third album "Master Of Reality".

Sepultura - Best Of

Here's a best of collection from Brazilian rock gods, Sepultura. I hadn't listened to them for ages and then stuck this on and man, it's fucking great. The band was formed in 1994 and while basically being a metal band they're not just a straight-up metal band like Slayer (not that there's anything wrong with Slayer ;). The name is Portuguese for grave apparently... and how metal is that. Anyway this is a really good selection of tracks from them, including some of their more industrial / groove / nu metal tunes so if you like to rock then give this a listen.

Slayer - Undisputed Attitude

Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. The album is mainly a collection of punk covers of bands like Minor Threat, T.S.O.L. & D.R.I.. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman used two of the four punk songs he had written in 1984 and 1985 as part of a side project called Pap Smear, while King and vocalist Tom Araya wrote an original song titled "Gemini". I've also included a few other cover songs that Slayer have done... and some of those are definitely worth hearing. In fact this is basically Slayer playing 'us-style' hardcore punk & it's fucking great ;)

Motörhead - No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith

Here's another classic live show for your enjoyment. This time it's those old rockers Motörhead and the No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith album, released in June 1981. They were formed in 1975 by bassist and singer Lemmy (Ian Kilmister) after he got kicked out of Hawkwind for, as he says, "doing the wrong drugs".

With the exception of "Iron Horse / Born To Lose" which was from a 1980 show, this was recorded at the Leeds and Newcastle shows during the Short, Sharp Pain In The Neck five-date tour in 1981. The name of the tour was a reference to the injury sustained by Phil Taylor when he was dropped on his head during some after-show horseplay. Despite the title of the album, the London venue the Hammersmith Odeon was not played on the tour. The actual shows were:

• 27 March 1981: West Runton Pavilion, Norfolk
• 28 March 1981: Queens Hall, Leeds
• 29 March 1981: City Hall, Newcastle
• 30 March 1981: City Hall, Newcastle
• 03 April 1981: Maysfield Leisure Centre, Belfast

I saw them play on their tenth anniversary gig at the Hammersmith Odeon and they were excellent. This album captures their live sound perfectly and even if you've heard it before it's well worth another listen. This is actually from a later re-release which includes some bonus tracks not on the original album.

End To Empires

I picked up a couple of free CD's at a gig the other night and thought I'd post them up here. I went to see The Plight supported by Turbowolf (Who were really, really good), The Dead Formats and Feed The Rhino (Another good band, pretty typical current UK hardcore).

Weedeater

This is a collection of tracks from a band called Weedeater. They're pretty much a mix of stoner rock and sludge/doom metal but they have a definite bit of crust punk as well. Not the most upbeat of bands but if you like this kind of thing then they're definitely worth hearing (especially the track Alone... I love that song :). Weedeater formed in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1997 and have released three full length albums.

In April 2007, the band signed on to the Southern Lord record label.

Stoner Rock Collection

Here's a compilation of some of the Stoner Rock bands I've been listening to lately. Most of it is your standard big riffs, bass heavy stoner rock but there's also a bit of sludge/doom for your listening pleasure.

According to wikipedia stoner rock and stoner metal are interchangeable terms describing sub-genres of rock and heavy metal music. It combines elements of psychedelic rock, blues-rock and doom metal. Stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production. The genre emerged during the early 1990s and was pioneered foremost by the Californian bands Kyuss and Sleep.

35007

I only heard 35007 for the first time just before Christmas and they've already made it into my 'one of the best bands ever' list. Going by the enigmatic code name 35007 ("loose" spelled upside down), Dutch musicians Mark Sponselee (guitar, bass, drums, synths, effects), Bertus Fridael (guitar), Michel Boekhoudt (bass), and Sander Evers (drums) perform ambient trance-groove music of a predominantly instrumental design. Secretive by nature, the group rarely performs live, and when it does, it’s usually with the help of a visual specialist to provide a truly multimedia and multi-sensory experience. They're kind of a mix of Hawkwind, Earth & System 7... and very, very good if you like your music cosmic ;)

Send More Paramedics

Seeing as it's halloween I thought Id post up some zombie-core. Send More Paramedics were a horror hardcore/thrash band from Leeds in the UK.

Unfortunately they split in 2007 but they released 3 full albums and a couple of split LPs whilst they were together.
