뷰렛 (Biuret) - Korean Rockers, Beautiful & Full of Spirit!

안녕하세요 Boobies!

(Ahn Neyong Ha Seyo Boobies) **translation: "Greetings, Boobies!"**

This time on The BOOB(Best Of Online Bands), we've got a sensational South Korean Modern Rock band called Biuret!

Line-up:

Mun Hye Won (문혜원) - Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Harmonica

Lee Kyo Won (문혜원) - Lead Guitar, Backup Vocals

An Jai Hyun (이교원) - Bass, Backup Vocals

Alright, like I mentioned a while back during the Art Vs Science post, I managed to attend the One Movement Festival in Perth, Western Australia and find some really cool gems to talk about on The BOOB. Well, Biuret is one of them gems.

The band played on the main stage in the middle of the afternoon during the festival. And boy did they brought the city of perth down with their explosive set! Besides their original tracks, they even covered Paramore's "Decode", and also AC/DC's "Long Way To The Top" which they gave their own unique twist to!

Biuret - Long Way To The Top (AC/DC Cover)

With a beautiful bass player packing some mean and powerful grooves

A handsome lad doing rip-roaring, high flying guitar work.

And last but not least, a multi-instrument playing, song writing, smokin' hot lead singer

I'm sorry, but i find her so hot that i just have to add one more pic!

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY~!

Oh yeah, they were using a session drummer called D.R.

And here's a shot of yours truly, The Booberman, with this fantastic band backstage!

 

Ok, now for the bits you've been waiting for...

Biuret formed in 2002, and had a breakthrough EP titled "My Name is Biuret" in 2005.

 

Their first full length album was released in 2007, titled "Be Full Of Spirit Beautiful Violet". This album is definitely a good one, with a nice range of songs, pop-ish at times, but still alright.

 

And recently they released their 2nd full length album "Dreams Come True", after becoming the Overall Winner of Sutasi.

Ok, I'm not sure how "Dreams Come True" and "My Name is Biuret" sound since i don't have the albums. But if their live performances and "Be Full Of Spirit" album offers any indication... I think you'd better get ready for Biuret to take over some day!

Couldn't find any official myspace of the band. This is the closest I managed to find. Don't think its official though

Biuret Myspace

As for their own official site, again, I'm  not sure cause I can't read Korean, if anyone can help verify it'll be much appreciated... i won't pay you, but i'll appreciate you... :)

FINALLY, the music videos... enjoy...

Danko Jones - Bad Attitude from Canada?! You Betcha Ass!

Ahoy Boobies!

This time on The BOOB, we've got a band from Canada known as Danko Jones!

Members:

Danko Jones - Vocals/Guitar

John Calabrese aka JC - Bass Guitar

Dan Cornelius - Drums

If you're looking for music for you to do a sexy strut down the street while your naked and waving your dick around and also flipping the finger at everyone who stares all at the same time... Then this band is for you!

With a more whimsical vibe than ACDC, and yet danceable beats. Danko Jones serves a very special brand of Hard Rock. You know, the kind you dance to in a really embarrassing fashion as if you were in a club.

But all jokes aside, Danko Jones, is a straight up, macho, no nonsense "I-am-man-I-hunt-for-women" attitude, rock and roll guitar riffing ala ACDC meets Punk Rock kinda band.

The first song i heard from this band a while back ago was "I Love Living In The City"  from the We Sweat Blood album. And throughout the whole album, there was not a single disappointing moment.

Now, they've got a 5 albums out already. And i gotta say, this band is not losing momentum!  BUT, without further delay, let's bring on the videos! So you can stop reading and start enjoying!

Danko Jones - I Love Living In The City

Album: We Sweat Blood

Danko Jones - First Date

Album: Sleep Is The Enemy

Danko Jones - Code Of The Road

Album: Never Too Loud

There are a couple more videos but I'm not gonna post'em all here. You can check in to BOOB Watch: Hard Rock to view some other videos of Danko Jones and other bands.

Rev Theory - NYC Hard Rock is Far From Over

 Line Up:

Rich Luzzi - Vocals

Julien Jorgensen - Rhythm Guitar

Rikki Lixx - Lead Guitar

Matt McCloskey - Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals

Dave Agoglia - Drums

Alright, this time on BOOB, we're featuring Rev Theory. A hard rock band from New York City, New York, USA.

I just discovered this band a couple of days ago, and so far I'm lovin' it like Cookie Monster to choco chip cookies! 

Anyway, Rev Theory's music is the kind of stuff you race your car to or get into bar fights with. And according to a review by Dennis Cook who was at CrueFest 2. Rev Theory's live performance is definitely something worth checking out.

Ok, enough chit chat... let's get on to some vids and discography info bout this band!

Their most recent album is titled Light It Up and its a really good one. Pedal to the metal anthems, destruction derby worthy songs!

Previous albums include Truth Is Currency under the band name Revelation Theory.

Now, Rev Theory's got 3 music videos from the album Light It Up, so I'd say either the album is doing really well... or they just have shit loads of money to spend, either way... its all good.

Unfortunately, embedding features for the video have been disabled ( the corporates' dark iron fist strikes again!)...

So you'll have to click on the links below to get straight to the videos.

Bullets & Octane (Hard Rock/Punk from Orange County)

If you love being drunk, rocking out, having a good time while getting your head split apart by a bunch of rock n roll pirates... then Bullets & Octane is the band for you!

Members

Gene Louis - Vocals

Kevin Besignano - Guitar
Jack Tankersley - Guitar
Brent Clawson - Bass
Brian Totten - Drums

Now, I first heard of this band a couple of years ago and fell right in love with them. The first album i heard from them was their 2nd release In The Mouth Of The Young. And they sounded like the bastard child of Guns & Roses, Motorhead and Social Distortion.

Intensive punk rhythms which let keep you moshing and head-banging till your fuckin neck breaks, face melting guitar riffs and solos, INYERFACE style bass grooves that add on to the rhythmic assault. And of course... vocals that range from the sound of your conscience to a pack of dogs barking in your face with a megaphone while they're on steroids and viagra...yes, a very disturbing thought... but powerful. :P

(yes, it feels like this is in your face when u listen to Bullets & Octane)

Bullets & Octane bring back a strong flavor of danger than mainstream rock seems to have lost these days. Heavily tattooed, high energy, intense, barely sober, fun, dangerous, and romantic, all at the same time while rockin' out.

This is the kind of band you'll be able to listen to after you've been on a binge and your passed out on the bathroom floor  holding a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a heart-breaking love letter in the other.

Anyway, if you're a virgin to the Bullets, then do check out the album In The Mouth Of The Young.

The single, Caving In from In The Mouth Of The Young is a perfect introduction to the band.

Here's another single called Pirates, off their first album The Revelry. it'll give you an idea of how they sound live too :)

Alright, if you like what you hear, GO GET THE ALBUMS!!! And go watch them LIVE! They'll be touring with Gunfire 76 in the US and the UK.

Now, they've recently released their 4th studio album "Laughing In The Face Of Failure". and judging from the tracks on myspace, its a pretty good album. Whereas their 3rd album, "Song For The Underdog" was a bit of a disappointment for me."In The Mouth Of The Young" is still the best. While their 1st album "The Revelry" is definitely worth listening to... its a great album, nuff said.

BUT FUCK! I STILL LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!

Bullets & Octane albums: (click and you'll be taken to links to buy them)

Art Vs Science (Electrifying Aussie Electro!)

G'Day Boobies!

I've recently come back from Perth, Western Australia! And I managed to catch the One Movement Music Festival! Ah, and some very fine musical gems i found...

One of the big hitters for the One Movement Music Festival in Perth  , was Art Vs Science  . From New South Wales, Australia.

The band made out of 3 guys, fucking blew the audience and myself away during their high intensity, electrifying set. I'll upload the photos soon, just gotta get them outta the damn camera first... :P


Anyway, the boys of AVS  include:
Dan W - Drumset/Vocals
Dan Mac - Guitars/Keyboards/Vocals
Jim Finn - Keys/Vocals

Here's a taste of their music...

A track called 'Parlez-Vous Francais?'... The vid is the official music video for the track, and a job well done AVS! LOVE the Mime wars concept... lol

Here's a clip of them live... (this is them being REALLY mellow by the way...)

Here's one that does a bit more justice

Art Vs Science has an EP out at the moment. So if you like what you hear... GO GET IT!

However, i'd like to point out that the song that caught my attention for this band was a track called Higher. unfortunately its not on the EP nor can i find a decent Youtube video of it (FUCK!). So I am looking forward to an album from these guys! will drop you Boobies some updates if any word comes in. 

Alright Boobies. that's all for now... there'll be more to come from the One Movement Music Festival. The next post should be one about a modern rock outfit from the beautiful Asian city of South Korea called Biuret... truly a band you wouldn't wanna miss!

Flight Of The Conchords

Ok guys, introducing....New Zealand's 4th most popular folk parody band... Flight Of The Conchords...

 Oh... by the way, apparently the 2nd most popular fold parody band in New Zealand is a tribute band... that pays tribute to Flight Of The Conchords.

 Anyway, these Kiwis are absolutely brilliant, and so funny that they make you forget about Australia for a couple of minutes...

The BOOB Blog loves comedy and parody acts. And when they're executed THIS well, you can't help but love them like you super rich granny...

But we shall save on the words and let the music do the talking... we're just gonna post ONE link here, but make sure u check out other tracks from FOTC. Also, they've got a TV series. 2 seasons altogether at the moment... and they're absolutely fan-fucking-tastic!

Without further interruptions... this is Flight of The Conchords ... with the song The Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros

58 - Diet For A New America

Hello Boobies!

YES! that is what i'm calling all you fantastic people out there.... BOOBIES! Not Noobies, but Boobies!

Now I hope you've been doing good. Because I have been doing great! I've been listening back to a lot of stuff i've accumulated in my mp3 library... and re-discovered this band called 58.

Band: 58
Album: Diet For A New America
Labels: Americoma , Beyond Records
Official Website: N/A

MUST LISTEN Single: Piece Of Candy

Band Members:
Vocals/Guitar - Steve Gibb (Son of Bee Gees' Barry Gibb)
Vocals/Guitar/Others: Dave Darling
Bass - Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue, Brides Of Destruction, Sixx A.M.)
Drums: Bucket Baker

Additional Musicians:
Alvino Bennet - Drums, Ernie Perez - Saxophone/Background Vocals, Alfredo T. Ballesteros - Saxophone/ Background Vocals, Brie Darling - Percussion/Background Vocals, Rob Ladd - Drums, Randy Landas - Bass, Stink - Vocals, Teddy Zig-Zag - Accordion.


Production:
Producer: Dave Darling
Mastering Engineer: Eddie Schreyer
Mixing Engineers: John Bogosian,  Jeff Peters, Dave Darling
Engineers - Lenny DeRose, Dave Darling


Now this was a side project of Nikki Sixx's which was extremely short lived. Not sure how well it did commercially, might not have been that great i think. BUT it wasn't really a commercial band.  In fact... if memory serves me right, 58 was suppose to be a one off side project, and they're weren't even gonna play live. But apparently, they did do a few shows due to demand from fans.

58 was also an attempt at marketing music purely via the internet. Which in recent years should've done wonders for them, but back in good ol' 1999 and Y2k, I guess most of us were worried about our computers crashing at the stroke of midnight and losing all of our downloaded pornography.

Anyhooo...

Perhaps 58 was ahead of their time ... even their music was pretty different at the time. And even till now, its sometimes difficult to believe that Nikki Sixx was involved in this project. However, if you've heard Motley Crue and Sixx: A.M. , 58 will be a nice twist to add to your library.


On to the album, Diet For A New America.

Its filled with sleaze, angst, political rage, depression, dark wit and so much more. With subjects matter which reflect a society of people living off the streets and doing what they have to do to get by.  From homeless people commiting suicide to a girl who puts up a webcam and starts a voyeur site only to get into trouble later on.

Musically, this album has alot to offer a person with an open mind. If you're looking for it to brighten up your day, well, expect some clouds. Its basically a safe journey into a dark and twisted world that 58 has created with Diet For A New America, too dark to be reality??? maybe not.

It IS a colour full album, with tracks that make you feel like your drunk and on ecstasy at the same time like "Alone Again". Then you've got mind-fuck ghetto tracks like "Killing Joke" . Then there's the phat and sleazy "Piece of Candy" with a lazy rap tinge to it. A couple other favourites of mine from this album would be "Shopping Cart Jesus" and "Queer".

Alright, that's it for this post. There are links all over the place, and they mostly lead you to either where more information can be found about the particular word/topic, and some take you to places where u can hear the songs.

Unfortunately, 58 never made a music video.  However, there are some fan vids out there showing them as Sixx: A.M. ... Song titles are right, band name's wrong. but don't worry. just listen to the tracks and refer back to this post if you ever feel confused.

If you've got questions, just drop a comment or send an e-mail.

So now i leave you with "Piece of Candy" by 58, from the album Diet Of A New America.

 

The beginning of the BOOB…

Welcome to the BOOB,

No its not a porno blog, though most will agree that you can never have enough of those. Once again, THIS BLOG IS NOT A PORNO BLOG or PLORG.

ANYWAY,

BOOB stands for Best Of Online Bands. Which means any band that is on the internet qualifies to be featured on this blog! However, the band must meet very strict requirements, the main rule being...

I ACTUALLY HAVE TO LIKE THE MUSIC!

If this sounds unfair to you, then go away... because music is subjective, if you don't like what i like. You can jump off a bridge and have a hissy fit for all i care. 

But bottom line is, if i don't like the music from the artist/band, i won't bother to mention them. I am however, open to all kinds of stuff.

So if there's an act/band/artist out there that you love, or if you'd like to promote or have someone listen to your music, just drop me an email at:

And if its all good, i'll contact you back to get more info and material. Simple as that!

Now, basically what i'd like to do with this blog is to find/discover stuff that I love or haven't heard of before and feature them on this blog! I get really excited when i find out about new acts and songs, so i figure that i should help spread the word out about them!

And i hope that you'll do the same, if you like something you've heard, be it a band in a club, a new song on the radio, some bootleg on youtube...etc. if you like it, tell people about it. it will be VERY much appreciated!

Now, rest assure that if there's any material on this blog that infringes on copyright laws or if you find your images/music/materials being used on this blog which you want removed, i will gladly co-operate and take down the content if required to do so.

So yeah, this has been the first post! not much music at the moment... but it will come! It will come all over from all over!

and once again... THIS IS NOT A PLORG!

(p/s: if you were hoping to discover some music from this post, i'm sorry for not mentioning anything. but for now, go check out Bullets & Octane - Caving In. One of my fav songs ever!)
