WILL HAVEN.

How the fuck do I describe this record other than " I dig this"?

Late last night I decided to go through some old stacks of CD's down in the garage and found this little gem that I was pretty obsessed with about six years ago.
Things were a bit different then - I wasn't a parent yet - and I used to be able to blast tunes & stay up *ahem* "partying" until early the next morning.

This CD was in heavy rotation on most days/nights.

Them days is gone, but the soundtrack to those years remains, and this still sounds good to me.

Lots of fat riffs drilled into the ground, creating a heavy groove w/o quite being hardcore, metalcore, stoner rock, or (ugh) "nu-metal".
This CD is perfect for a late night solo drive through bad weather on a stretch of unfamiliar road - maybe that should have been my entire description for this, huh? - anyways, Sacramento, CA's Will Haven broke up for a few years, then got back together a year or two ago & released a new record but honestly? That record ain't so hot.

Enjoy this shining moment.

TALES OF TERROR.

Kind reader Mr. T (can you believe Mr. T stops by the L-R V? Word!) was asking for that long-lost classic LP by Sac-town sk8 drunk-rock kings TALES OF TERROR and somehow I found this one late last night on Soulseek. This record has eluded me for many years via poor sound quality, incomplete D/L's, etc.
Now the truth can be told!
I hope you all enjoy this legendary piece of skaterock history, as they don't make bands like this any more.

(Got my wisdom teeth pulled today so I'm going back to the couch to "ride this Darvocet trip out. Come to think of it, THIS RECORD IS PERFECT WITH DARVOCET !!! All this from a sXe dude)...
