When I was younger, I used to call Portishead “porpoise head”. I never saw the appeal.
Now that I’ve lived another 10 years, I see the talent and hear the amazing musical stylings of Portishead for more than just a random musical endeavor. The lyrics to any Portishead song can be somewhat haunting, and the tone in which the delivery breaks through the vapid music scene, is just top notch.
With their latest album, you can tell that they are up to their old antics, and aspiring for a little more.
You can stream the whole Portishead album now, and see if you like it…or if you’ll stick to your metal.
P.s Metal rules!

H20 is coming out swinging with their latest track “Nothing To Prove” from their upcoming album of the same name, due out May 27th, 2008 via Bridge Nine Records. The New Jersey band has been around a long time, and has produced some of the best tracks in punk rock, with catchy tunes, and hardcore sensibility, the band has created a long lasting legacy of good music and solid fan base.

Free music is always a great thing, and Eyeball Records is giving away a free compilation to introduce you to their line up of bands. If you’re into underground music, you’re going to love this compilation from Eyeball Records. The track listing is as follows:

For those of you that are big fans of System of a Down, you probably already have the new Serj Tankian cd, which fits nicely in the world of System of a Down. But some of you might miss the guitar riffs that were driven by the guitar player of System. Well, now you can hear what the rest of the band is doing, sans Serj, as Scars on Broadway. A lot of speculation went into what they would sound like, but now the world will know! You can hear a new track from the band by clicking here. That’s right, free music again pokes its head out on a Friday.
