A new video from Paleo, which is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter David Strackany. The guy’s latest album Fruit of the Spirit, and this music is definitely going to sit well with fans of oddball personalities. Paleo carries the innocence of Daniel Johnston, but can turn around and play the
On Toxic Holocaust’s fourth album, the Portland band takes a leaner approach to its grimy fusion of punk and thrash metal, lowering the black metal influences that were once prominent on the band’s earlier releases. While there’s not a lot of variety to be had on this
No matter what the Beasties did, there wasn’t much of a chance they were going to top the video “Fight For Your Right (Revisited).” It’s almost like director Spike Jonze came in knowing that, so he purposely created something on a much smaller scale, literally. Still, even though
