When I put out the feelers to the writing team on this one, I was pretty surprised nobody was interested, given that they feature members (current or former?) of Kylesa and Torche. Given that they were described as rocking an Unsane meets Helmet vibe, I was even more shocked. Wrong are from Miami, and Feel Great is their debut full length, following on from an EP, Stop Giving which came out on Robotic Empire back in 2014. So, there’s our token background / bio.Anyway, I thought I’d give it a spin or three and see what it was like as, I saw Kylesa live about 10 – 12 years back and thought they were pretty decent. I also liked what I’d heard of Torche, although I’ve not heard anything since their s/t debut in 2005. Plus Helmet’s Meantime is one of those records I’ve reliably gone back to time after time over a long number of years Admittedly I’ve never listened to Unsane, beyond that song they had a video for that was just skateboard slams. Didn’t like it to be frank.So what’s this like, then?
Long story short, this is a throbbing grooving chunk of heavy music. When the promo blurb likened them to Helmet they were not shitting motherfuckers. If like me you were down with Meantime, then you are going to get a fair amount from this.
The rest of the sound seems to draw on the heavy as shit rumblings of Will Haven by way of the gritty, deep toned crusty hardcore of Cursed. There’s certainly an element of the heavier end of Soundgarden in this, too. It’s all underpinned by something akin to the stoner groove of Clutch shackled to the dirty-ass rotting meat sound of Mercy by Planes Mistaken for Stars.It’s fucking gnarly, this. You will feel like you’ve been bludgeoned, mate, which face it, is what you want. Very, very Helmet indeed. Tony of Nurgle rating: 8/10Rock this shit right now on the bandcamp player below:Feel Great by WrongYou can also hook this up on LP, CD or digital download direct from their bandcamp page:https://wrongriff.bandcamp.com/album/feel-great.
The Appleseed Cast are a four-piece emo/indie/post-rock band that originated in Southern California in 1997, thought they relocated to Lawrence, Kansas a few years later. This band's name is probably familiar to you, since they've been an incredibly influential band in the development of indie/emo music, especially for their experimentation.

Tony of Nurgle is a true child of the North, recently returned to Yorkshire and residing in Leeds (after close to a decade living in exile in Croydon and South East London). He used to co-run a specialist record store in Manchester (Roadkill Records), and also several years as a promoter, and put on shows for the likes of Leatherface, the Loved Ones, Lucero, Minus The Bear, These Arms Are Snakes, Spy vs Spy, Latterman etc. He also spent several years DJing at shady rock clubs in Manchester, and started the infamous Thursday night 'punk room' at Jilly's Rockworld. Also responsible for Middle Finger Response, and collaborated with a couple of friends on a monthly night called Refuse to Lose, which will still occasionally reunite the original DJ line-up - next event at Retro in Manchester on.Apart from that, it's all bitterness and a jaundiced view of human nature, occasionally skateboarding,always exhausted, often reading books with maps in the front.
I find that bands I had to really seek out and discover for myself are a held a little closer to my heart. Planes Mistaken For Stars was a band that I had always heard people talk about at shows, but they were a huge mystery to me. If they even had a website, it was incredibly vague and only cloaked the band in further shadow. The funny thing about them is they were kind of a big deal, signed to one of the bigger punk labels out there, No Idea. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, who knows.but when I saw Fuck With Fire sitting on the shelf in the Millwoods HMV my heart skipped a beat. 'How do they know about this?' I thought looking around for some resemblance of a punk kid working behind the counter.

It's all so ridiculous now knowing how music stores work, but to my 17 year old self, it was like finding a fucking pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I hadn't even heard the band yet but I bought it without even thinking. (God I miss expendable income!)Most of you have either heard this record or have stopped reading by now. All I have to say was the record lived up to all my self hype. It was dark, gritty and raw.
Hidden under all the grit was this incredible sense of melody and atmosphere. I don't want to ruin it if you haven't heard it, so I'll stop blathering on. If you have heard it, you probably know what I'm talking about.AB.
We don't believe in the idea that music is a financial commodity. It is this idea that creates thousands of hours of terrible music every year, while great albums by amazing bands go unnoticed. We want to bring attention to these albums. We urge everyone who downloads anything off this site to seek out the bands, buy merch from them, learn lyrics and scream those lyrics in their faces next time they roll through your town. If you're in a band and see your music on this blog and want it removed, please email us.
