Review:
Nebula
Drag hail from San Diego and create a blend of heavy sludge/fuzz
based rock/metal. It's very dirty at times with a sneering punk based
attitude. Their debut album is packed full of different psychedelic
noises and dirty lo-fi riffs.
Nebula
Drag take influences from a wide range of different bands across the
musical spectrum. Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk, Noise Rock and I'm
sure I can detect a hint of Detroit 60s/70s Rock on second track –
Creeps & Monsters. The band try their hand at different sounds on
almost every song as each track sounds very different to each other.
Corey's
vocals are firmly rooted in Punk Rock territory but with the band
creating heavy sludge/stoner riffs this can be quite a dark album at
times. Nebula Drag are primarily a Rock and Roll band it's just that
their blend of Rock and Roll features heavy distorted moments of
psychedelic sludge/stoner riffs. The songwriting on the album is
first rate and the instrumental work is even better.. The tone of the
entire album is very raw it actually works in the bands favour as
this is how music is meant to be played and heard.
Great
songs to check out are: Change, I Can Not Explain, So Low and Perfect
Pair. Tracks that show what the band are really about. It's when
Nebula Drag show their love for all things psychedelic you're treated
to some spellbinding riffs.
All
in all, Nebula Drag have released a superb debut album that I hope
will find them a bigger audience within the Sludge/Stoner Rock
community. As Nebula Drag have something special about them.
Hopefully these guys will get signed by a cool record label and
release this on vinyl. Excellent and Highly Recommended.
