that's basically the majority of the OT from what i've seen which is a microcosm of louisiana IMO. tons of people still stuck on music they liked in their formative teenage years 14-19 and they have pretty closed minds when it comes to any new music.
It seems that way sometimes. Take for instance many of my Facebook friends who I grew up with. They listened to Zeppelin, Sabbath, Rush, etc. They're no way they shouldn't like Orange Goblin, sHeavy, Kadavar, Blues Pills, etc, etc. But they'll bitch about the lack of new music, yet when I post stuff on their pages that has all the hallmarks of the old stuff they're stuck on, they just can't let themselves get into it. They tune out.
I love Rush, but this one cat, I swear to god if he goes on one more time about how they're the best ever and how nobody makes music like that anymore, I'm going to strangle him.
I think some of the blame is due to the lack of a access to new music. All they listen to is 98.1 or what ever bullshite corporate modern rock station they can get. There's no real choice for them. They love Nickelback, but turn a deaf ear to acts like Clutch or Fu Manchu. Hell, we used to get a lot of new music from MTV, but it's been 15 years or more since they lost all credibility.

I have the total opposite problem. I listen to so much freaking new music that I can't even keep it straight. Albums and artists that end up in my rotation usually stay there for a max of a month, and then I'm on to something else. There are a few exceptions to that, but I'm pretty schizophrenic with music and genre.
Did you read my mind? I look at that and swear I wrote it myself.
That describes me to a 'T'.This post was edited on 10/23/15 at 6:57 pm

This is how I view it. I'm always looking for my next favorite band. With that Casa Sui, I just got sucked into the youtube wormhole.
I usually don't get into straight musical stuff but that Casa Sui and Papir is some of the best stuff I've heard to lately. Perfect background music while working. All because of the wormhole from listening to some Black Angels.
I've been on a Neo-psychedelia kick for the last few months. So here's another contribution.

Thanks for reminding me about Causa Sui. Was meaning to check them out, and this gives me the push. I definitely see the Can influences. Super tight and psychedelic.

Causa Sui
I simply don't have enough words to describe how much
I am enamored with them now.
I found this on their Wikipedia page, and it says it better than I can...
quote:
Causa Sui's sound has been described as the sound of a giant wave rolling up through the last four decades of rock.
I haven't heard such absolutely beautiful and engaging stuff in a while.

Thought I drop this little gem here.
All Them Witches - Our Mother Electricity
All Them Witches - Our Mother Electricity
quote:
All Them Witches earn immediate distinction for being the first American band signed to German heavy psych purveyors Elektrohasch Schallplatten. Endorsement from the label of Colour Haze guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek, which has released albums from My Sleeping Karma, Sungrazer, Rotor, Been Obscene and The Machine -- essentially casting the blueprint by which a goodly portion of the up and coming European scene is built -- goes a long way in my book, and the feat is even more impressive when one considers that the Nashville four-piece's debut full-length, Our Mother Electricity sounds so distinctly American. They're not the first to use the wordplay, but in calling their approach "psychedelta rock," neither are All Them Witches inaccurate. Swampy blues is definitely a major element in what they do, but along with that and the heavy psych aspect to their sound, there's also a dynamic sense of Americana in the songwriting, taking hold either in the twang of centerpiece "Elk Blood Heart" or the countrified moaning and Skynyrd solo bursting out of closer "Right Hand."

Elk.Blood.Heart is a really good jam.
Nice distinction with that label an all. I guess thats a big deal. Sounds like it...

So I was Facebook friends with a dude that was a really good friend of Rhino Reindhart of Captain Beyond. This cat is a guitar player too, and is pushing 60 if not past it yet. He's never been in a really famous band but had made a respectable living over the years. And even though he says he likes new music, his post don't show it. All he ever talked about was Eric Clapton or Hendrix or shite like that.
So a few days ago he put up a post stating something to the effect that all the new technology that has come out has directly caused a degradation in the quality of music and that the only real way to record is like they did in the 70s. It was a total load of bullshite and I told him so, and in doing so providing examples of how it was bullshite.
Guess who got blocked not long after that. 
Some people are just stuck in the past and there is no hope for them.

Well Sayre you certainly are not wrong
People just need to look. Anyone of the description you just laid out that doesn't throw on a jam like ATW and says- "Ahh this is what I've been looking for" them FTW
I identify with the stoner/bluesy/psychedelic rock music because it has all the elements of music I like but still has that "old school" classic rock feel to it. There is a reason that music is loved and replayed over and over and over... its timeless.. although can be played out. Well some bands and some songs... I don't care how many times I hear Dazed and Confused by Zeppelin I will jam it.
This guy would need to just scroll threw this thread for 15 mins and he would be satisfied with music for a good while

In just ATW, The Sword, and Kadavar, you have three bands that should appeal to anyone how liked rock in the 70s. Add in Blues Pills or Biblical or The Flying eyes, and it's even more apparent. You can hear the direct lineage in those bands.
Posted on 11/9/15 at 1:34 pm to Sayre
The Sword, Clutch, and a few other bands should appeal to rock fans in general, not just stoner rock or whatever. I think Clutch especially transcends any sub genre label. Torche is another one that should appeal to slightly older rock fans. I think they would have fit in nicely with the early 90s alternative scene. I can see fans of Nirvana enjoying them today.
Posted on 11/9/15 at 3:10 pm to Brosef Stalin
I feel as though Clutch and The Sword are highly regarded
Now Torche... I had never bothered with Torche, but you, Brosef, posted about them a few times. Checked them out and now they get some good rotation from me. I love Harmonicraft

Baroness- Purple album... some of the tracks available on Spoitfy

Purple is out December 18 via the band's newly formed label Abraxan Hymns. The album was produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Sleater-Kinney)

Been looking forward to this album since they announced it. Really like both tracks they've released so far.

I just love their whole album art concept.
the music is just gravy

Agreed. Baizley has done some other cool artwork for Kvelertak, Skeleton Witch and Black Tusk. He also did a cool shirt for Metallica. They've been posting making of videos for Purple on their YouTube channel. Check them out.

Of all the bands that are defunct or that no longer tour, I wish Dozer would get back together. I just absolutely love every thing they did, from the first split album to the last full length LP.
I pre-ordered the new Baroness awhile back. Can't wait to get it.

Been listening to sHeavy's 'Celestial Hi-Fi' album. So far, between it and the 'Electric Sleep' LP, I've yet to hear a single song by them that I didn't like. They're fricking awesome.
