Another Thursday, another Bandcamp recommendation. All recommendations are either free or name your price. Don`t forget to support the bands if you like what you hear by either throwing a few dollars eir way or buying physical items such as cds, LPs or shirts. Go see them live too if you can make it. The first album is a pretty damn good one. The band, Elvis Deluxe, the location, Poland. These polish stoners are offering their 2007 debut, Lazy, for free while they work on their followup album. The music is part psychedelic, part glam, part garage and ALL stoner. They have a similar sound to Dozer. This is one album you don`t want to pass up. Next up is a very cool stoner metal band from New York. The album is stoner metal with some punk elements. Oh, I forgot to mention, Creek Devil is a one an band. Lance Horenbein is the mastermind behind the band. The album featured is called Burnout, one of six albums available, all for free of course. This next group is Vevlo Eel and they are from Charlottestown, NC. This is the band`s 2004 release. It`s a mix of punk, classic rock and garage rock. Velvo Eel climbed from the primordial ooze back in 2001 and rocked Charlottesville for 4 years only to fall back on its laurels and live off the fat of plundered spoils. But the beast has been awakened by the howl of discontent. Unfit for for human consumption, Vevlo Eel rears its head for another go round. This time more heat, more fire, and more that reminds us of when we had gills. Vevlo Eel 2.0. The next band, The Campaign 1984 are also from NC. These guys play a hard, fast dirty rock. This is their second of 3 EPs. The Campaign 1984 is best described as a "dirty south" rock `n roll band from Asheville, NC. The band is comprised of founding members Matt Anderson on lead vocals/guitar and Justin Biltonen on lead guitar/backing vocals, as well as bassist Jordan Luff and drummer Springs Wade. The band was formed in Fall 2004 and immediately began writing and recording music. The next band is Ice Dragon. They are from Boston and play a psychedelic and doom rock. This is a full 52 minute masterpiece that needs to be heard that ends with an epic eleven and a half minute doom track called "Aquageddeon."
