New Music Recommendations

Brooklyn’s heaviest, CAR BOMB, dropped their Tiles Whisper Dreams EP back in August and it’s still destroying my ear drums. If you want to hear how far someone can take the sonic capabilities of a guitar, this is the record for you. FFO: Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Gojira and Frontierer.
