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.

If you know, you know. Farmikos, the LA-based music project featuring former Ozzy and David Lee Roth guitarist Joe Holmes and singer Robbie Locke is one to watch. Starting with a release of 4 songs in March 2014, they’ve slowly released 4 more over the course of the year on their CD Baby site and are now on the verge of dropping their debut album.
Recorded on analog and transferred to digital, the sound of these killer tracks is as classic as their 70s and 80s era metal and rock influences. Fans of everything from classic Ozzy to Badmotorfinger-era Soundgarden will find something to love in Farmikos. Don’t take my word for it, Eddie Trunk of That Metal Show knows!
Always get asked about new bands I like, The music @Farmikos is making is amazing! Can’t wait 4 a full CD. More here: http://t.co/ASfSE7NQlZ

Sonoma County’s Shotgun Harlot may have only been together a few years, but their strong songwriting, solid sound, and energetic live shows have quickly gained them a loyal local following. Fans of Corrosion of Conformity, Black Water Rising, and Black Stone Cherry will enjoy their heavy southern-style rock fury.
They were already impressive when I saw them at the beginning, opening for Burn Halo, and last week I attended their debut CD release show when they played with another up and coming Bay Area band, Pushing the Sun.
Next week on 1/22/14 Shotgun Harlot will be opening for the legendary Ratt at the Phoenix in Petaluma. Give them a listen and a shout on their Facebook page!
