From Mike McWilliams, Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals: “We were dropping off press kits 6 years ago at Hoboken venues. Ryan and I were driving down Washington Avenue when I said to him: “Have a window.” I told him to write it on a napkin he found in the glove box. I thought it was interesting, how the words came out backwards but still made sense. It seemed only appropriate that we taped this film driving on Boulevard East, just north of Hoboken where we now practice and sell out shows.”

Biomotros, also known as “Leo’s Whistle,” is a song that Ryan wrote based on the novel “The Journey To The East.” Ryan explains: “I was waiting for the train to Hoboken and saw a fellow beardo reading it. The cover looked really cool, so I asked what it was. He said he was almost finished with it if I wanted to take the book. By the time the train came, he had finished the last few pages and passed it over to me.”

In another life, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Imaad Wasif might have been a poet or a priest. He draws inspiration from beyond the veil, seeking connections and cosmic patters in the hopes of expressing the simplest but most profound message to his listeners: We are not alone. The urgency of that communication, and his need to convey it, give both his delicate guitar ballads and his fervent rock songs a ferocity and focus that resonates with every note. The above track is off of his latest release The Voidist, available on Tee Pee Records. The track is “Fangs”.

Call it ambient post-doom. Call it alchemic psych-rock, only without all those annoying freeform guitar freakouts. Their debut album, Wyllt, was recorded and produced by desert guru Scott Reeder . The track in the video above is the lead track of that album titled “Tyrant”. The band is Black Math Horseman. The rest is a discovery about to be made. Filmed with a thermal imaging camera, this live track is so good, it sounds like it was recorded. It wasn’t.
