Prog Guitar Rock by Fang Island, Gondliers & Yukon

Fang Island three guitars and sometimes a microphone

Welcome to the laziest type of music post you’ll ever get out of the RS blog. Here’s three great songs by three equally progressive prog rock guitar bands.

Punk IS Dead! MP3 by Gondliers from their EP2 get it here. It’s amazing what you can do with some speed, chops and a octave pedal these days. There should be more music in the works from these Somerville Massholes as they just added a singer. Making them a trio. So looking forward to the next release!
Medallion MP3 by Yukon. This Baltimore band has something new in the works which features the virtuoso guitar work of this 20 year old kid named Sam who was taught by this brooklynite dude named Ben Greenburg. This track is very DC hit liquor era shudder to think sort of sound. Great shit. Gets crazier here.
Welcome Wagon MP3 by Fang Island from their debut. This vocalless three guitar Brooklyn metal slaughter is pretty uplifting. In fact lots of churchy like keyboard parts and vocals on other tracks like “The Illinois”. I dunno pitchfork likes them but you decide.

Metal Geek Copulation by Gondoliers EP2

GondoliersCopyright 2008 by Lily Brooks - www.lilybrooks.netEP 2 MUSIC REVIEW: If you would have told somebody you could play this many notes in the 1930’s they would have thought you were an octopus or a carnie but yet here you are on the eve of closing out yet another decade and metal is alive and well. Not that you’d know what metal was then but if you want to call Gondoliers prog metal you’re more than welcome to do it in this decade whilst you can.

I’m going to reserve sticking these Somerville Mass experi-metal (yuk yuk) geeks in any one particular sub-sub genre for right now because they mutated again into something deeper and beautifully darker. When they go-off the rails they are in the wires – reconfiguring the mess. Twisting out the guts from some random piece of roadkill and then proceeding to schredd and serenade the double octavewave pedal in celebration of their carnage and physical feats. These are your neu metal duo geeks with fast machine gun like reflexive notes playing the soundtrack of your prom copulation in discordant Glass like un-harmony. The noise is free but the sting of the memories will only last this life time so dig in and get weird cuz punk is sorta dead or at least the 1980’s version. Did I mention it’s fast like Don Caballero and precise like a razor and yet dumb like bull for everyday use? If not pardon moi let it rip.
