Formed in 2003, Kent band Sizen deal in heavy grooves and sledge hammer riffs. The quartet have drawn inspiration from the band’s they grew up loving – from Metallica to Soundgarden to Rage Against The Machine, as reflected in their debut album, What Do You See, which is all about ‘bringing rock music kicking and screaming into the new millennium’.
Pearl Jam / Even Flow It’s the chorus, it works so well, and it’s a great hook. It also reminds me of a time in my life where all I had to worry about was guitars and girls. Nothing’s really changed!
So, we have a wickedly talented and creative producer and DJ laying down what’s good and what’s, well, not so good. Yes it’s, wait for it, just a little longer, nearly there. Ok, it’s Moby, from some otherworldly universe.
John Lee Hooker / I Hated The Day I Was Born ‘If I could sing, I’d love to sing like John Lee Hooker. Him or David Bowie. I don’t have a beautiful singing voice, so I really appreciate the deep and gravelly voice that Hooker possesses. I really like everything about John Lee Hooker’s music. I’m a big fan of old blues anyway, especially music from the pre-war era. It was so much simpler back in the day. You plugged in and you played. Studios are like instruments now. This song is one of my all-time favorites. “I love depressing music”: that was a quote in my high school yearbook’.
