Since my visit with the new Opeth album, I’ve been hankering for some nice progressive rock. When it comes to that, Wobbler delivers. The band is from Norway, and has been around for over a decade. The group’s latest album is titled Rites at Dawn, and delivers a
MP3 Some thick guitars and catchy group vocals coming through on this new Diarrhea Planet track, “Warm Ridin’.” The band has a new LP out via Infinity Cat titled Loose Jewels. Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible not to relate anything having to do with this band–
