There was a period of time where I had a knack for finding bands that
either just broke up or were about to.
It was depressing.
My more recent period of this is
the aforementioned "baby years".
Actually, that was a period of just not finding bands.
Case in point: Drain sth
This band from Sweden released two albums,
Horror Wrestling
and
Freaks of Nature,
in the late nineties but I had not heard of them until a year or
two ago.
The singing on
Horror Wrestling
reminds me of
Layne Staley
at his most hypnotic
and the music rocks
(check out
I Don't Mind
and
Mirror's Eyes).
This is one of those albums that gets better with each play
and I'm going to get the other one.
Alas, they are no more.
Lead singer Maria is now married to
Tony Iommi.
The other three members were working together in a band called Superfix
for a while
(listen to the demo they posted last year,
Your Addiction (Superfix),
which I really like)
but it didn't work out.
Drummer/singer Martina is now
the new lead singer
of
Snake River Conspiracy
(check out the new song they just posted,
Methlehem).
Their next album is something I'll be keeping an eye out for.
