If you somehow don't know about Polkadot Cadaver, you're missing out. The band features two members formerly of Dog Fashion Disco, including one of my favorite vocalists Todd Smith. The band is about to drop their third album, Last Call In Jonestown, and have been peppering out songs from it for the past few months.  The latest sample of the new disc features Neil Fallon from Clutch, and golly if it isn't just grand.

This New INTRONAUT Track Crushes

Intronaut 2013 album art

I was really pumped to hear the new Intronaut full-length, Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words with Tones) when I heard the first single, "Milk Leg," now I'm beyond pumped. The band has posted a second track, "The Welding" over at Pitchfork.com and it's the perfect Monday morning jam. It starts out slow and ambient and really picks up resulting in some serious headbanging. Take a listen

Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words with Tones) comes out March 19th on Century Media.

The Bronx is not a band I was ever super-crazy about, but listening to their new album, The Bronx (IV), I feel like I've been missing out a bit. It's not quite metal, it's more on the punk rock side, but definitely the type of band you can get into if you dig bands like Every Time I Die and Botch. Check out the full stream at Rollingstone.com. The album is released on February 5th via ATO. Pre-order the album on Amazon.com.
