Song of the Day

Craw, “Sound of Every Promise,” from Lost Nation Road (Choke, 1994)

Respected Cleveland outfit gets a shot at high-quality reissues via Kickstarter.

The Almighty, “Addiction,” from Powertrippin' (Polydor, 1993)

You, too, might find this chorus infecting your brain 10+ years from now.

Temporary Insanity, “Arrogant Fuck,” from 1991 Demo (1991)

A vicious classic from this demo-only thrash act deserving of far more attention.

Gjenferdsel, “Svik,” from I (Ketzer/Black Forest, 2006)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Integrity, “I Know Where Everyone Lives,” from Suicide Black Snake (A389/Magic Bullet, 2013)

Arguably the catchiest track to date from the ever-evolving Integrity.

Downer, “Curbed,” from Downer (Roadrunner, 2001)

"Wear a mouthpiece, sucker..."

Eric Martin, “I Can't Stop the Fire,” from Teachers (Capitol, 1984)

Don't judge a rocker by his ballads.

The Afghan Whigs, “Citi Soleil,” from 1965 (Columbia, 1998)

"How you like the madness of Citi Soleil?"

Black Athletes, “Die Laughing,” from Skate Rock! (Thrasher, 1983)

A darker shade of "skate rock".

Roxxi, “Drive it to Ya Hard!,” from Drive it to Ya Hard! (Rock Hard, 1990)

Consider it a lesser-known "Smooth Up in Ya".

Meathook Seed, “Dumb Show,” from Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (Dream Catcher, 1999)

Giving Meathook Seed's sophomore outing a second spin.

Thine, “Take the Risk” (2011)

This may very well be the band's finest composition to date.

Alan Thicke, “Thicke of the Night,” from Thicke of the Night (Atlantic, 1984)

Before he was Jason Seaver, he was kind of a badass.
