Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Age of Aquarius by Villagers of Ioannina City

Posted on December 12, 2019 by Mojo

I’m not sure what it is, but I keep finding these great heavy bands coming out of Italy and Greece, like Messa, Puta Volcano, and now Villagers of Ioannina City from — of course — Ioannina City, Greece. I wouldn’t necessarily call it stoner or psych rock, it’s really just King Buffalo style majestic, epic rock and roll.

Self-described as ‘post-rock with a dose of Greek folk traditional music’, Villagers of Ioannina City have delivered with their second full-length album a masterful opus of sweeping rock soundscapes that subtly incorporates elements of traditional Greek folk music into its heavy tales of gods and the grandeur of nature and history. If you like epic, majestic rock, give this a spin.

Mojo’s Pick of the Week – IGNITION by Scream Of The Butterfly

Posted on November 20, 2019 by Mojo

I’m not even sure how I stumbled across this but bless Bandcamp for helping me find the most amazing music from around the world every day. This album from Berlin rockers Scream of the Butterfly sounds like a cross between QUOTSA and Stone Temple Pilots, with a dash of Deep Purple sprinkled in for fun.

Modern rock and roll with a 90s groove and little melodic pop edge a winning combination in IGNITION. Standout tracks: Solid Ground Shaking, Missed the Brake, Liquor Store.

Check it out for yourself!

You can never have enough headbanging fuzzy guitar rock, and this hot new release from Indianapolis’ Devil to Pay is a killer addition to the annals of dirty rock and roll. Forever, Never or Whenever, released November 8 on Ripple Music, is the latest full length from the hard rockers, who have been throwing down the heavy since 2002.

Fans of Corrosion of Conformity and Mos Generator will dig the gritty grooves of Devil to Pay. This may just make my favorite albums of the year list, it’s damn good. Standout tracks: Heave Ho, The Devil’s Barking Up Your Tree, 37 Trillion. Get it!
