Honey Drip

Honey Drip by The Blacksmoke Band   (November 21, 2011)

Recently we reviewed the April release from NO based rockers, The Blacksmoke Band.  It was a rough, thrashing act of aggression within the scene but now, with the more recent Honey Drip we see an easing of the gas and a more tempered logic.  Feeling less likely to melt faces, but more likely to connect with a large scale audience, don’t take this review the wrong way.  Blacksmoke is still the hard hitting band we were first introduced to.

Jug of Doom (Best New Music)

Jug of Doom by The Blacksmoke Band   (April 20, 2011) *

Nothing has ever sounded powerful the way that The Blacksmoke Band’s Jug of Doom sounds powerful.  The combination of old school, power-house rock with the modern diy recording aesthetic is amazingly fresh.  The album is perfectly paced, hits every step and in general, lives up to its album arts intensity.  Formed to “get drunk, be loud and eat boogers”, The Blacksmoke Band is everything the diy scene was missing.
