Chiodos
Perhaps no one can explain the sheer ferocity and timid quietness it is better than when vocalist Craig Owens says “we don’t want to let the kids down” when discussing the group’s intense vocals live at shows.

Primus
Those wacky and quirky fellas in Primus led by superstar bassist and lead singer Les Claypool are back with two releases. The first is a retrospective CD called They Can't All Be Zingers and is followed by a DVD Blame It On The Fish with a nifty subtitle of "An Abstract Look at the 2003 Primus Tour De Fromage". The DVD features footage from their triumphant 2003 reunion tour. The digitally remastered 16-selection They Can't All Be Zingers spans the band's career from 1990 to 2003, featuring all of its original Modern Rock hits--"Jerry Was a Race Car Driver," "My Name Is Mud" and the Grammy-nominated "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"--plus fan favorites and a previously unreleased, extended version of "Shake Hands With Beef." Blame It On The Fish is the third DVD release from Primus and follows "Hallucino-Genetics Live 2004". Years in the making, this DVD of the band's 2003 reunion tour—which was augmented by ambitious sets and innovative multi-media installations—contains live performance footage, interview segments, candid behind the scenes shots and intense visual imagery. In addition to 90 minutes of bonus material, the extras also include a 30-minute futuristic documentary about the band set in the year 2065 and interviews with the then-102-year-old bandleader Les Claypool.

Jim Reid formerly of Jesus and Mary Chain
Jesus and the Mary Chain former singer Jim Reid has recently put out an album under the moniker Freeheat which was a gulping dose of desert indie rock dashed with elements of psych rock and post-punk. Recently he recorded some sessions on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 6 along with Phil King. His signature vocals and sparse instrumentation on his single "Dead End Kids shows a man finding his mark time and time again. "Stranded" was recorded live at the 12 Bar Club while Vegetable Man" was recorded live as a tribute to Syd Barrett with a full band at The Bar Academy Islington in mid-July. Be sure you also check out Freeheat's "The Story So Far" to compare and contrast his stark stripped down sound of his solo material with his new outfit.

The Thermals
Sub Pop Records burst into the limelight when Nirvana's major label debut produced a rabid fanbase who raided the highly influential grunge band's past discography. Flash forward to 2006 and their new group The Thermals. Filled with a wall of distorted college rock ala Guided By Voices and Pavement, their latest album "The Body, The Blood, The Machine" is a concept themed around the United States being run by a Christian fascist theocracy, which is scaringly close to reality. Check out "Test Pattern", for a good injection of Orwellian indie rock.
