Fu Manchu
“Shake it Loose” (From the album We Must Obey )
Woah. Been a while. Swore I had updated since the middle of April but I guess you just tend to forget stuff when you’re living in an alcoholic haze, don’t you?
This here some metal. Or it’s some stoner rock. I’ve heard it called both. Stoner Rock, it turns out, isn’t just Pink Floyd or whatever kids listen to while they’re high, it’s actually a whole subgenre of metal/hard rock that’s spawned from Black Sabbath. I honestly don’t think it’d be that great to listen to while high.
Anyhow, Fu Manchu’s one of those band’s that been around for decades but no one seems to know about them but their small group of devoted fans. This is off their new album, and I found it surprisingly accessible. Metalheads might find it a bit tame, indie kids might find it a bit harsh, but I think it’s juuuuuust right.
