Video: "Wait Up" by The By Gods

Sometimes negative energy and emotions can get the best of us. In those times, it's smart to stand back a little bit and relax.

In that vein, here's The By Gods's latest video, Wait Up.

Video: "Rat In My House" by The By Gods

You might remember my personal ranting and raving over the quality on which The By Gods seem to have the market cornered.

They have a new record coming out on October 20, Move On and like Palpatine with Anakin, I'll be watching for that with great interest.

The band will be doing a run of dates in the US and some spots in the UK. Keep an eye open for the dates soon!

In the meantime quiz the band about their unrivaled collection of fuzz pedals on Facebook.

EP Review: "Phone Calls EP" by The By Gods

Phone Calls EP

Living the life of a music reviewer isn't all parties and mansions.

There's a genuine love of music involved and it's hard to keep oneself out of the ruts we all create for ourselves. Personally, my favorite tunes are metal, blues, and heavy rock.

Because those genres of music have the best guitar players.

Sorry, this is fact. Steve Vai > Chet Atkins and Les Paul. Whether or not you appreciate Vai more is your prerogative.

So, when The By Gods crossed my desk about six months ago, it was a bit hard to pull myself away from whatever crushing death metal had caught my attention.

Looking back, January 2016 was a pretty damned metal month here, but not long after dropping their record, Get On Feelings, they've returned with half an album for us to check out.

Album Review: "Get On Feelings" by The By Gods

Get On Feelings

You know what's the worst thing in the world?

Gibson Les Pauls.

Seriously, they're two pickup, single cut guitars and completely lacked originality when they were introduced in the early 50's.

There wasn't much about them that wasn't descended from the Fender Telecaster.

Oh, sorry, I was thinking out loud again about my favorite guitar, the Gibson Les Paul. (I have a black Studio personally.)

Today we're checking out should have been 90's pop rock icons, By The Gods. Originally they were a duo out of Nashville, TN until they were joined by a bassist. Now they're a trio. Isn't that neat?
