Historical note “Dark,” “ultra-cynical” and “heavy” have been the some of the adjectives used to describe the Tumwater, WA’s Karp. First calling attention to themselves in ’94 with their first full-length Mustaches Wild on K Records, Karp laid it on thick by flaunting their fascination with the Melvins and Black Sabbath. The following year Suplex was released with the [...] Related posts: IHRTN 1.0 – Karp (Kill All Redneck Pricks) – Biography + Discography + Videos Stuff You Might’ve Missed – Karp Melvins Special – More Details On Karp Documentary

Mash-ups have obviously been done to death, but every now and then you come across one which works amazingly well, and, well… sheesh. This Lamb of God/Ke$ha amalgamation is one of those things that’s so well-done it’s hard to believe it’s a not a real collaboration between the artists. And I say that as someone [...]

So someone has decided to put together a mash-up of Lamb Of God classic ‘Redneck’ and a single from that electro-pop lady person Ke$ha. We just…there’s no w…ah fuck it. (more…)

Filed under: News , Exclusive facebook.com Lamb of God celebrated the release of their new album 'Resolution' by playing a sold out show at New York City's Irving Plaza last night. LoG are at the point in their career where they can play much bigger venues, but they chose to keep the release date gig intimate and it served them well. If they were aiming to connect directly with the fans, this was the way to do it and their mission was successfully accomplished. The band ripped through a setlist comprised of plenty of new songs, like 'Desolation,' 'The ...

I don't buy into this concept of "music scenes" dying. There's always gonna be young people and they're always gonna be kids doing rock and roll and the only people thinking it's dying are dying old farts. Call me a revisionist but I can't help but notice all those people who say that "death of the scene" crap were the "first wave" of these rock and roll acts and they simply count their prime in audience attendance the real "height" of whatever was going on. It's like punk rock senioritis or something where they ...

The Pacific Northwest in the ‘90s was ground zero for an exhilarating underground music explosion, but far from the Seattle nexus laid the fertile mirror half of the equation: Olympia, WA — home to legendary groups like Bikini Kill, Unwound, Beat Happening, and one of the heaviest, craziest, most underrated and downright fucking amazing bands [...]

Screen Slate : When you started thinking about this movie, did you conceive it as being about something bigger than Karp, specifically the overall scene in Olympia? Because I feel you give a real strong sense of that place at that time. I see what you’re saying. Well, part of it is maybe biased because that was the way I experienced things, through the lens of this greater context. But it’s a chicken-and-egg thing, I don’t know what the reason is for that. I felt you couldn’t really understand their story without understanding this context they lived ...

Andrew S. Harkins is way too smart to be a redneck, and just slightly too redneck to let your daughter escort her to the … oh, wait, who am I kidding? Don’t let your daughter near this guy. 1. Black Lips, Arabia Mountain (Vice) The worst part about living in Atlanta is that sometimes it [...]

I had a bunch of Christmas music posts planned, but here I am at my folk's place playing Ms. Computer Repairer, for both my parent's PC and my crappy netbook. Argh. It's not putting me in the holiday spirit, I tell you what. But anyhoo, who loves mash-ups? Me! Who really loves mash-ups with good (bad) Christmas tunes? MEEEEE!!! The first three are a few of my favorites from the fantastic Santastic collection, which is a group of DJ's that have been putting out a disc worth of Christmas mash-ups and remixes since 2006. You can ...

With the convict-redneck missing and the wife-beater redneck eaten by zombies (and brained by his wife to prevent a return), this show needs a real-live villain whose face isn’t peeling off. Oh, thanks, Shane.
