about

When it comes to describing Halfway to Gone's potent blend of stoner, Southern, and classic rock, the whiskey bottle-clutching 400-pound gorilla on the cover of their sophomore Second Season album really does say it all. Picking up right where their 2001 debut High Five left off, this second helping finds the New Jersey-based trio cranking out a surprisingly hook-laden, high-energy set of tunes. Boasting a confidence and swagger usually reserved for more experienced bands, Halfway to Gone are equally adept at handling pulverizing rockers ("Already Gone," "Escape from Earth"), quasi-doom metal workouts ("Lone Star Breakout," "Never Comin' Home"), and laid-back instrumental blues numbers like "Outta Smokes" and "Black Coffy" (spelling ain't these boys' strong suit). Cooked up with a few choice ingredients from each of these styles, the awesome "Whiskey Train" easily takes the cake as the album's strongest cut, but additional hot moments arrive via ballsy opener "Great American Scumbag" and yet another excellent instrumental in "Brocktoon's Wake," which also features harp contributions from Five Horse Johnson front man Eric Oblander. Truly an inspired outing, Second Season is going to be a tough act to follow.

I'm biased, as I have been a big fan of the mighty Sasquatch for years. Never thought they'd release an album I'd like better than II. They have done that here. The orange and purple vinyl sounds and looks great. Angelo

Hammerhead EP
by Solace

supported by 10 fans who also own “Second Season”

Purchased this for the Solace tracks, but GDFU are a good find, too. GDFU's standout track is More Than Enough for its frenzied garage thrash-out which has an immediacy and honesty to it. As for the Solace tracks, Hammerhead is pretty awful, especially the riff and the vocals, whereas the excellent Cement Stitches gets things back on track with some thrashy hardcore aggression, while finishing track Rumble is a tedious trudge to be honest. Selective listening required. Master of Alchemy
