Roddy Walston J. Roddy Walston is a force of nature. If his hits like Heavy Bells is are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tac@cal cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transforma@ve in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal that’s been buried too long. It’s not about thinking, It’s about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradic@ons: Kurt Cobain’s fury, Nilsson’s fractured sweetness, Zeppelin’s power, and somewhere in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabor’s lonely calculator funk. Cri@cs try to box him in, but Walston can’t be contained—he does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately his songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again. Rugburn “Denver-based garage-rock band Rugburn, as the name suggests, leaves you rolling on the carpet in a jittering, psychedelic fit of ecstasy! Like driving down a desert highway on acid, the fuzzed-out trio takes your mind on a Hunter S. Thompson trip, with ripping guitar riffage and a thumping, frenetic rhythm section behind the wheel! Gritty and dripping with reverb, Rugburn's vocal stylings drape over each hard-hitting tune, guiding your ears along the blissful madness. Oozingwith kaleidoscope dreams, Rugburn is the perfect conduit for the pure, cosmic energy blasting from every corner of the Universe.” -MIDTOPIA
