Review


Garage/Scuzz/Stoner Rockers LáGoon return with their latest album Forget What You Heard which sees the band performing in loud and highly unapologetic fashion. The whole record feels like LáGoon have finally found their true calling in the Stoner Rock scene with their blend of Punk, Fuzz, Garage Rock, Psych, Doom and Scuzzy melodies. This is their most confident and highly entertaining record to date with some epic nods of FU MANCHU riff loving amplified worship but with LáGoon’s own great style of music still being heard.


These tracks have been released and recorded differently over the years but these are perhaps the most definitive edition of the tracks and how they're meant to sound. This is the perfect starting point for newcomers to become a fan of this great band.


Opening track Kill The Messenger has some spiky demented lyrics and pure distorted mayhem developing within the music. It’s very stripped back and has a classic Nineties Stoner Rock attitude which becomes one of the best themes from the album. There’s some Punk Rock sounds being played at an relentless fast pace which has been a staple of LáGoon’s music from the very start. It’s a great way to open the album with.


Second track You Tried (We Lied)  has a sublime MELVINS based energy with LáGoon approaching that FUZZY / Scuzz Punk attitude once more. There’s some influences from the likes of Dinosaur Jr and The Ramones emerging from the Punk Rock wastelands but it’s the screeching psychedelics and stripped back Garage Rock mechanics that makes the song work so superbly well.


Third track Draculove is a Doom Punk offering with LáGoon having some fun with the whole Proto-Metal theme of the track. It’s quite a bouncy little number with a subtle manic energy and playful lyrics that plays right into the classic “DRACULA” folklore. Maybe a bit too “radio friendly” at times but it’s refreshingly hip and quite clever with the simply played melodies that brings a huge amount of fun to the album.


The next two tracks Father Of Death and Wheel Bite sees LáGoon return to the playful surroundings of the opening tracks with a certain Sludgier environment developing with some socially aware lyrics. This is LáGoon being socially aware and having some gloomy fun at the same time especially on Father Of Death. The music has a turbo-charged appearance that’s primed to explode on musical impact. The lo-fi surroundings allows the songs to breath organically especially on Wheel Bite.


One of the main strengths about LáGoon and this album in general is how the band don’t give a fuck about Progressive themes at all. This is Stoner Rock music played in it’s purest form where the main mission is JUST TO GET SHIT DONE and leave you superbly entertained which they achieve with flying colours within the excellent two final two tracks Shake Fast, Play Loud and Smoke And Flesh.


The songs allows LáGoon to close the album playing snarling Punk Rock grooves that are almost quite anthemic with that seedy and dirty Psychedelic attitude playing some of the best music on the album. 


Forget What You Heard is another great record from LáGoon who are fastly becoming one of the standout Stoner Rock acts from the infamous Portland underground Heavy Rock scene.

Scuzz n' fuzz garage doomers LáGoon announce new album Forget What You Heard, out September 18th


Coming September 18th, get your skate, scuzz, and stoner rock fix with new album Forget What You Heard, serving up seven tracks of riffs and attitude.

You'll likely recognize the names of most of these songs if you've been listening to us since the beginning. Over the years of playing these songs live, and with the addition of Kenny on bass, these songs have changed so much that we felt it was only right to re-record and re-release them in their final form. So Forget What You Heard in the past, this is how LáGoon really sounds.

LáGoon is a heavy riffing trio from Portland, Oregon that blends elements of punk, garage rock, doom, and stoner rock. They have released a large catalog of music, but are best known for their high energy shows.

The band has toured extensively and played with a number of notable bands including Nebula, Matt Pike vs the Automaton, Duel, Wo Fat, Mos Generator, and Sasquatch to name a few.

Doomed and Stoned best describes the band as “…an odd duck, with the head of The Stooges, the fuzzed up body of Dead Moon, the feet of The Gun Club, the soul of Electric Wizard and the guts of Nirvana”.

As always, the band's next plans include playing live as much as possible. They're also already working on new music for LáGoon and their other garagegaze project, OOPSY DAZEY.

The new album Forget What You Heard drops September 18th on vinyl via Interstellar Smoke Records and cassette via Evil Noise Recordings. Dig it.

Review


Tales Of The Wyldewood Green is the debut album of Heavy Psych Instrumental Rockers The Wyldewood Green and it’s one of the freakiest, psychedelic and far-out records I’ve had the pleasure to listen to this year. This record fully explores the legendary sounds of the Sixties and Seventies Rock scene where the band play music built upon the rhythms of Surf Rock, Heavy Psych, Funk, Punk Rock, Garage Rock, Blues Rock, Classic Rock, Proto-Rock and shades of Stoner Rock.


The Wyldewood Green music is driven by a funk driven Hammond and Organ instrumental score which allows the other areas of Heavy Psych to perfectly drift into your subconscious where the mood even transforms into pure JAZZ ROCK and LIZARD LOUNGE music. Though, the real musical weapon of choice that The Wyldewood Green band explores is classic movie soundtracks. As this record has a classic hipster sound with the jazzy beats and cool intricate psychedelic melodies that wouldn’t go amiss from a Sixties Heist Movie or even a kitschy rom-com. Though, the record does show it’s more dangerous side by employing a Classic Hard Rock style inspired by the likes of The Who, Deep Purple, The Doors and The Byrds. 


With some distorted Stoner-ish guitars appearing along the way, it’s good to see The Wyldewood Green are still keen to add small snippets of modern Stoner Rock soundwaves which gives Tales Of The Wyldewood Green a heightened sense of trippy realism. The album may not be for everyone but if you’re in the mood for some great Heavy Psychedelic beats and sounds that will leave your mind feeling the effects of one of the most glorious LCD trips you’ll ever take without the need for taking that powerful hallucinogenic drug.


The songs are brilliantly written with their own highly individual identity which adds a dreamlike effect on the later stages of the record with The Wyldewood Green even deploying into calmer and soulful Post-Rock swagger. The songwriting is on another level even for an instrumental record as this album does do something different with the whole Instrumental Rock template.


Standout tracks on the album are: Spires, The Mindsplitter, Carnaby Nights, Maldedo, Tangerine Whiskey, The Queenmaker and Murder In The Electric Cathedral. These are the tracks that I found the most engaging on a personal level and which impressed how daringly heavy the record becomes despite this being quite a laid back album for the most part.


Tales Of The Wyldewood Green is an absolute revelation from start to finish with the band creating and playing sounds that shouldn’t really work so well. However, here we are with a debut album that has a great MAVERICK attitude where you can really say that The Wyldewood are true originals which their debut album proves time and time again.

Review


Forever Loaded is the latest sonic punk excursion from The Lords Of Altamont and with this being their eighth album within their twenty eight year history, the band sound more vital than ever before. With a ferocious PUNK ROCK attitude that crosses into boundaries of Psych, Space Rock. Garage Rock and Stoner Rock throughout the album. The Lords Of Altamont have a PISSED OFF attitude within this album where they leave a wave of destructive Garage Rock melodies in their wake that’s inspired by the likes of MC5, Blue Cheer, The Stooges and The New York Dolls.


Though, it’s the subtle Psychedelic Rock and Stoner Rock sounds that gives The Lords Of Altamont an unpredictable and highly original sound which perhaps a certain “MONSTER MAGNET” influence can be heard at different times on the album. However, The Lords Of Altamont embrace their own wicked style of Sixties Hard Rock attitude that moves across the different eras of Rock & Roll rebellion which results into some fantastic and absolutely frantic instrumental passages. Boisterous vocals, an out of control rhythm section and thunderous guitars allow the epic organs from Jake Cavaliere who actually founded the band way back in 1999. 


If you ever wondered what MC5 and THE WHO would sound like today if they added a massive STONER ROCK energy to their sound then this album would be the twisted result especially after listening to the opening tracks of Got A Hold On Me, What's Your Bag and Devil Rides (DFFL). The beauty with all Lords Of Altamont records is they never release the same album twice. Everyone has their own stories to tell with different musical visions forming and this even truer with Forever Loaded. The songs are rebellious, aggressive and superbly freaky which allows the band to open their music to multiple different musical avenues whilst keeping its Heavy Psychedelic core in place.


However, The Lords Of Altamont breathe new life into their music with the standout tracks of Rusty Guns and Procession Of A Gorehound. There’s added layers of BIKER OUTLAW melody and momentum which has been lacking in the last album by the band. This time they come out swinging with a “KOOKY” pop attitude forming within the hazy Stoner/Punk Rock carnage which develops into great levels of Space Rock surroundings. 


Forever Loaded is deliriously fast-paced and superbly seedy with the album becoming ever more PROTO METAL and GARAGE ROCK obsessed on tracks such as Get Out Of My Head, Got You On The Run, I Got Your Number and Twisted Black. I recommend taking closer attention to the lyrics as the guys have written some subversive lyrics that are perhaps some of their most hard-hitting and surreal written to date. This gives The Lords Of Altamont a more dangerous sound, vibe and energy compared to their last few albums. Though, it’s all superbly off-beat and downright melodic which you can’t help fall in love with. 


Forever Loaded is an absolute pleasure to listen to. As what you hear is what you actually get with The Lords Of Altamont. This will perhaps be one of the standout Heavy Psych/Garage Rock albums to be released before the year is out. 


Unmissable. End Of.

FANGUS - Emerald Dreams (Album Review)

Release Date: March 13th 2026. Record Label: From The Urn Records. Formats: DD/Vinyl

Emerald Dream - Tracklisting

I - Howling Hammer

II - Pyre Of Love

III - Psychoïd Telepath

IV - Quest For Fire

V - Emerald Dream

VI - Time Gambler

VII - Shapeshifter

VIII - Stardust Regulator


Members

Snake St-Louis - Drums

Vick Trigger - Bass

Chub - Synths/Organ/Backing Vocals

Jim Laflamme - Lead Vocals/Tambourine


Review


FANGUS debut album Emerald Dream is an intoxicating mix of Psych, Acid Rock, Doom Rock, Proto-Metal, Occult Rock, Blues Rock and Stoner Rock. The album is quite wild and wickedly vivid with how FANGUS blend different genre conventions with an outlandish premise that pushes the boundaries of Heavy Psychedelic music.


The music is mostly sourced from the legendary sounds of the Sixties and Seventies scenes with the band never venturing into modern day themes. This makes the album quite a cool sounding and hip leaning slice of RETRO ROCK with a great attitude to match.


The record starts off spectacularly heavy and fast paced through the opening tracks of Howling Hammer, Pyre Of Love and Psychoïd Telepath which relies quite heavily on the extraordinary talents of Chub who provides an amazing array of Synths, Organs and sublime backing vocals along the way. His performance was what instantly drew me in at first though the rest of the band are amazing musicians as well with all them putting in first rate performances. Though, it took me a few listens to actually listen to each individual performance on certain sections of the album.


The lead vocals from Jim Laflamme feels like he was brought up on a steady diet of The Doors, Black Sabbath, Led Zepp, Alice Cooper, MC5 and The Who with his vocals having a slightly grizzled Classic Rock and Heavy Rock feel. The album does lean into early Seventies Proto-Doom metal records with a sudden outburst of Heavy Psych and Garage Rock making the album sound quite heavier and vindictive at times. The Occult Doom themes become the most interesting aspect on the later stages with FANGUS feel like they’re developing a soundtrack for a lost classic horror movie that’s being discovered for the very first time.


Everything is bloody OVER THE TOP and insanely dramatic but you can’t deny how beautifully melodic and insanely addictive the album is at the same time. The record moves to more demented areas of Occult Rock with some amazing FREAK-OUT instrumental passages courtesy of some wonderful guitars laid down by Alex Brigas. 


There’s also a slightly Ritual and Tribal aspect to Emerald Dreams that starts to break through on tracks such as Quest For Fire, Emerald Dreams, Shapeshifter and Stardust Regulator where the album does have a minor Space Rock aspect starting to form which allows the album to become ever more unpredictable.


The production values are outstanding which allows FANGUS to transport not only themselves but also the listener to another forbidden dimension told through the power of music.


Emerald Dreams doesn’t feel like a debut album. This feels like a greatest hits collection with FANGUS providing their best musical output for a new legion of followers to discover for the very first time in the present day. That’s the best way I can describe Emerald Dreams and I’m have no doubt that FANGUS will start to build quite a loyal cult following within the underground scene thanks to this superb album.

Carbon Decoy - Crush The Sun (Album Review)

Release Date: March 05th 2026. Record Label: Vina Records. Formats: CD/DD/Vinyl

Crush The Sun - Tracklisting

1. The Trip

2. Castle East

3. Icarus

4. Forest of Lies

5. Heavy Weight

6. Sirens

7. The Wraith

8. Ghost Town


Members


Casey Rowe - Drums/Vocals

Earl Mudd - Guitar

Jared Jordan - Bass Guitar (Guitar + Vocals on Ghost Town)


Review


Sometimes I even fall out of the loop and miss albums that were originally released last year. Take this great record for example. Carbon Decoy’s second album Crush The Sun was released back in July 2025 but is now being re-released / re-issued via VIna Records. The album is a glorious and highly unapologetic mix of Garage, Punk Rock, Psych Rock, Doom Metal and Stoner Metal grooves that has echoes of Proto-Metal movements holding everything together.


The sound is quite raw with influences such as MC5 and The Stooges that can be heard within its gritty production values. The other musical elements are inspired by the likes of VOLUME, NEBLULA and MONSTER MAGNET with a classic Hard Rock approach being told the tracks The Trip. Castle East and Icarus. The vocals are most definitely from the Garage Rock and Punk Rock way of life but Carbon Decoy are not afraid to explore the heavier areas of Distorted Drone and Sludge Rock which gives this album a highly ;subversive style of the band’s own making.


The vocals and lyrics are on the “OUTLAW” side of life with a real rebellious streak that develops throughout which adds new layers of Noise Rock and freakish amounts of seedy fuzz rock. The album impresses even further when Carbon Decoy embrace an Acid Rock style on the later parts of the record mostly on tracks Forest Of Lies, SIrens and The Wraith. 


There’s also a sublime Sixties and Seventies psychedelic aura that drifts into a violent style of Cosmic Rock with unreal “schizophrenic” melodies coming into play. This allows Crush The Sun to be quite a different Doom/Stoner Metal album that you’re initially expecting but that’s one of the albums main strengths. It dares to be different with Carbon Decoy creating their own blend of Fuzzed Up Stoner Metal that gets the job done with splendid results from start to finish.


I maybe late to the party with this album but I’m glad I was given the opportunity to review this superb album as I would have never encountered a great band such as Carbon Decoy.


Excellent and Highly Recommended.

Los Angeles garage psychedelic rockers THE LORDS OF ALTAMONT have teamed up with Vive Le Rock Magazine to present their high-octane new single and video "Get Out Of My Head", taken from their eighth studio album "Forever Loaded" on Heavy Psych Sounds Records. The band will be touring Europe extensively this spring in support of the new release.

️ Watch new video "Get Out Of My Head" below:


️
For nearly three decades, The Lords of Altamont have been the unwavering high priests of garage-punk fury and psychedelic swagger. Their upcoming eighth studio album "Forever Loaded" is the loudest and most ultimate testament to their enduring reign, a ten-track sacrifice to the true altar of rock 'n' roll.

Forged in the dive bars and digital back-alleys of a worldwide recording process, "Forever Loaded" takes you on a trip through vice-enhanced, riff-propelled heights and the sweat-soaked, concrete-floor depths of their live origins. From the first needle drop to the last decaying chord and organ keys, the album is a masterclass of grit and power, cementing LOA's legacy of chaos and communion. Dope Forever, Forever Loaded.

New album "Forever Loaded" - Out April 10th on Heavy Psych Sounds (LP/CD/digital)


The Lords Of Altamont bring forth raw rock and roll fury birthed from the ultimate end to the era of peace and love. What was billed to be the “Woodstock of the West“, the infamous Altamont Free concert on December 6th, 1969 was highlighted instead by heavy drugs, motorcycle chains and brass knuckles and later punctuated with shoving matches and fistfights. This palpable sense of bawdy foreboding resulted in four births, four deaths and extensive property damage.

While the hippies had been grooving and mellowing out in the Bay Area, the forefathers of the Lords of Altamont were playing high energy rhythms in the beer-soaked venues of Detroit and the dingy clubs along LA’s Sunset Strip. Mid-60s London RnB shares equal space with the scruffy 70s NYC Bowery among the influences of The Lords also. They take their other cues from kids banging out primitive riffs on cheap guitars all across the USA in garages alongside chopped bikes and American v-8 muscle, lingering exhaust fumes mixing with sweat to conjure the rare elixir of real rock n roll.

The story of the band who would come to be known as The Lords Of Altamont gets a proper start in late 1999. A son of Southern California and a veteran of the SoCal music scene, Jake Cavaliere - with numerous bands and projects from garage to punk dating back to the late 80s under his belt - enlisted fellow motorcycle rider and bandmate of the intro/surf sensation The Bomboras, Johnny DeVilla. Besides holding their first show at the legendary venue The Garage in Hollywood, high points include touring as the support act for their primitive rock n roll idols The Cramps, infamous rock gods The Who as well as counting the late Michael Davis of the MC5 as a past member.

Through personnel changes featuring an incredible roster of talent, and various adventures over the past 25 years, The Lords of Altamont continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their roots. Jake Cavaliere, along with his assemblage of gritty and talented personalities, continues to captivate audiences with unparalleled hard-driven performances the world over.
