As you can tell by my last post, the creative juices here at the Dagger have reached an all time high. I hope at least one person found the Coco interview entertaining, but my goal was to make you vomit….Now it’s time for the rock and the roll! 
I was perusing through Converge’s website and found this posting for a new rock/metal/thrash band called The Doomriders. I was almost sold on the band’s logo alone, but then I heard the music and almost shit my pants….okay, I did shit my pants. These songs rock in a sludgy thrashy Ride the Lightning kind of way. Kurt from Converge will be producing their record and it’s scheduled for a mid-2005 release on Deathwish Records. Here’s what the posting said about these kids:
“DOOMRIDERS are comprised of a stellar lineup featuring Nate Newton (CONVERGE, OLD MAN GLOOM), along with Jebb Riley (THERE WERE WIRES, DISAPPEARER), Chris Pupecki (CAST IRON HIKE), and Chris Bevalaqua (HALLRAKER). DOOMRIDERS wall of sound is the bastard child of Classic Rock, Death N' Roll and raging Skate Rock. With a majority of their songs Skate inspired, they push forth with a heaviness that brings to mind later era Entombed and Integrity, while their raw punk bursts conjure memories of the legendary JFA.”
I have to say, that’s a pretty accurate description. What do you think?
