Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Armored Saint

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Mojo

Legendary LA metal band Armored Saint is back and kicking ass with a new album Win Hands Down, just released on June 2, 2015! Formed in Pasadena back in 1982, Armored Saint released their debut album March of the Saint in 1984 and were part of the rise of thrash alongside bands like Metallica and Megadeth.

There were a few periods of hiatus where members were part of other bands (John Bush sang with Anthrax and bassist Joey Vera played with Fates Warning, for example) but they reformed in 2000 and have released two albums since then. Win Hands Down is loud and brutal and deservedly debuted on iTunes Metal in the top spot!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week – So-Called Someone

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Mojo

If you know me at all, you know I’m a fan of the blues, and one of my favorite modern bluesmen is Scott Colesby, whose one-man production is called So-Called Someone. With a steel guitar, a stomp box, and an iOS rig, he manages to sound ancient and modern at once, blending Chicago and Delta blues in a perfect fusion of old and new.

His catchy tunes are simple and authentic, driven by a finger-picked guitar and a gravelly growl tinged with self-reflective angst. The songs quickly get under your skin and make their home in the back of your mind. Scott has just released his 4-song debut EP called “To Hell or New Orleans” on iTunes and CDBaby, and it is excellent. I already can’t wait for the next one, absolutely pick it up if you dig the blues.

So-Called Someone is currently on a mini-tour with dates in Georgetown, Austin and Chicago to support the new EP. If you can’t make it there, you can find him playing locally in NOLA, and semi-regularly on ConcertWindow. Check his website and follow him on Twitter for updates.

New Song from The Answer is None!

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Mojo

Our apocalyptic tale of environmental doom got an acoustic reimagining in time for an Earth Day 2015 release.”Swallowed by the Sun (Acoustic)” lies somewhere between the cool acoustic grooves Alice in Chains from SAP or Jar of Flies and the heaviness of the Black Sabbath riffs that originally inspired the song.
