Mammatus - Dragon of the Deep pt. 1 free mp3

Mammatus band, Mammatis, Mamatus, Mamatis, Mammatos, Nicky, Aaron, Chris

Mammatus is a heavy psychedelic/progressive rock band from Corralitos, CA (Santa Cruz County). Their sound is fairly unique, blending elements of classic prog rock bands like Pink Floyd and King Crimson with elements of more modern stoner rock bands like Sleep and Isis.

Their songs are generally very long and at over 8 minutes, Dragon of the Deep part One from their self-titled album is actually one of their shorter songs. Their live shows are also of epic proportions and not to be missed, often involving wizards, fog machines, lazers and light shows.

Big Business are a two-piece band from Seattle comprised of Jared Warren - formerly of Karp and Tight Bros From Way Back When - on bass and vocals and Coady Willis - formerly of The Murder City Devils - on drums. They also comprise the current rythym section of The Melvins and the two bands often tour together; Jared and Coady open for The Melvins as Big Business and then hang around on stage to play The Melvins set.

The music is fairly unique, the best I could try and describe it would be indie/stoner rock/sludge with some jazzy grooves. This song, 'Grounds For Divorce' is from their second album, 'Here Comes the Waterworks'

Iggy Pop and David Bowie - I Wanna Be Your Dog (live) free mp3

I don't think Iggy Pop needs any introduction, but he is the grandfather of garage rock and punk, and 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' was one of his first hits with the Stooges in 1969. It's been a hit for years and to this day gets a lot of radio airplay and is in the soundtrack to a lot of movies.

I don't have all the background on this recording, but considering that David Bowie sings on it, it is probably from one of their tours together in the late 70s. I think this recording really captures the energy of their live performance.

Doomriders - Black Thunder free mp3

Doomriders, Nate Newton, Converge, Doom Riders

Doomriders are something of a side project for Converge bassist Nate Newton; but they have built of quite a following of their own. Departing from the noisy chaos of Converge, Doomriders has more of a focus on classic rock and heavy grooves. Clearly influenced by such acts as Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and the Melvins, the Doomriders record blasts you with a heavy dose of beer-drinking, bong-smoking, skateboarding grooves.

Black Thunder is the title track from their debut album, Black Thunder, and it more or less epitomizes their sound.

Boris - Flower, Sun, Rain free mp3

Boris Smile, Boriss, Smiley

Boris are a three-piece rock outfit from Japan consistign of Atsuo, Takeshi and Wata. Depending on the album their music spans many genres, but their staples are rock and roll and drone rock. Their rock albums list their name as 'BORIS' while the drone albums list them as 'boris'.

This song is from their newest album, 'Smile' and it is a lot more psychedelic than their previous work; lots of interesting noises/production mixed in with the melodies here and it doesn't really get heavy until the end.
