WINO LIKE WINO

Have always been a bit of a St.Vitus fan - I mean the band are awesome like a blend of Black Flag and Black Sabbath - no surprise as they were essentially a stone rock band that got in with the Black Flag crew. Singer Scott "Wino" started off with The Obsessed that both Henry Rollins and Ian McKaye were big fans of, again we're talking about the same stuff, doom rock with a punk attitude.

Scott Wino of course being responsible for stints in and leading Spirit Caravan, Hidden Hand, Palace Of Skulls, Probot, The Mentors, Shrinebuilder and more recently Preminition 13.

Just got a hold of his solo album "Punctuated Equilibrium" you need to hear it!

St Vitus have been getting back together and doing gigs, they have been promising a new album since 2010 but nothing more has been said on the subject - we can all but hope as live the band are sounding just awesome at the moment! Check out this live clip from last year.

But the "big" news among doom fans is that The Obsessed will be getting back together next year kicking off at the Roadburn Festival - good stuff, WIno is like Lemmy, he just won't die!

Check out this documentary on the history of the band - yes , it's a music documentary that has something a little bit to do with punk so Rollins shows up of course!

In other news, got an email from Rob Miller (Amebix) yesterday - an interview about the new album SONIC MASS will be up soon - if anybody has any questions they would like me to direct to the band - leave me a comment here!
