Stinky of Capital Chaos interview Edsel Dope and Tripp Tribbett of DOPE before their performance @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, CA 3/5/2009 also on the bill were DAMAGE OVER TIME, STALKING DISTANCE & AFTER THE FLESH Dope is an American Nu metal band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1997 in New York City, New York. www.dopearmy.com The band received some level of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. To date, the band has released five full-length studio albums, their most recent being No Regrets which was released on March 10th, 2009. edseldope.com The band was founded by song writer and lead singer Edsel Dope in 1997. As a child Edsel and his brother, Simon Dope, were separated when their parents divorced. When the two were adults, they reunited and Simon joined Edsel’s band, playing keyboards. The pair then recruited Tripp Eisen as bassist, Preston Nash as drummer, and Sloane Jentry as guitarist. www.myspace.com Unlike many of the popular bands from the 1990s, Dope derived their sound from influences taken from hard rock bands and fused that with the sound of industrial rock acts which had made waves earlier in the decade, such as Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, as well as industrial music act Skinny Puppy. en.wikipedia.org
The Best Indie-Rock Songs of the Year 2009 Pt. 1
Mar 7, 2010 Classic Rock
2009 was another year where indie-rock continued itâs push into the mainstream, with many of the yearâs biggest songs appearing in commercials and popular television shows across the nation. If one can say anything about the current trend of indie-rock it is that it seems to be moving away from last yearâs glut of boring singer/songwriters and into more interesting territory where the artistâs vision reigns above allâwith the slow death of the music industry there are few people left to tell artists what they can and cannot do. I would put my bet of poker chips on 2010 being the year artists truly break free of their industry chains.
Cass McCombs – âYou Saved My Lifeâ
Cass McCombs has been making some of the most beautiful, smart and mysteriously understated rock music this decade. He finally gained a bit more press and accolades with this gentle, plaintive number off his most recent release, âCatacombs.â It is hard to pin down McCombs style and influencesâone can hear part Neil Young in his falsetto as well as classic 50s and 60s Brill Building pop in his arrangements. But then he throws in some shimmering pedal steel and messes up your whole equation. One of the decadeâs best songwriters, McCombs deserves even more of an audience for his beautiful music.
Morrissey â âSomething is Squeezing My Skullâ
Pushing 50, Morrissey is still churning out some of the catchiest, and rocking, material since his comeback in the early part of the decade. His newest release, âYears of Refusalâ is one of his hardest singles to date and was one of his most successful singles in recent years, proving that Morrissey is still relevant to the petulant, angsty youths on the island and across the pond alike. The most oft-cited lyrics from this fun, rocking single is Morrissey listing a litany of prescription drugs with the final coda of âDonât give me any more!â
Health â âDie Slowâ
Health were able to congeal all their influences and release an actual honest-to-god verse/chorus/verse song with âDie Slow.â They havenât gone pop, thank god, but they are making slow inroads into actual song territory with this slice of jagged, disco pop that surprised many as one of the best indie-rock songs of the year.
