Free Metal Monday: Ripple Music-Fully Jacked

Ripple Music
2017

California's Ripple Music has a brand new compilation available and I for one couldn't be any more thrilled! This digital release features eighteen different bands and while I haven't had a chance to listen to them all*, "Fully Jacked" seems poised to live up to it's epic title!! You have group's like Mos Generator, Geezer, Zed, Bonehawk, Foghound, Devil To Pay, and Switchblade Jesus. Heavy street rock and roll band The Watchers opens things up with the slick track "Sabbath Highway" and from that point forward it all looks so promising...



*I jumped around on this comp. and just sampled a few cuts.

Free Metal Monday: Haze Daze 4/20 EP

Ripple Music
2016

This is the second Free Metal Monday feature of the day and even though it is short (length-wise) this free digital sampler from the wonderful folks over at Ripple Musicit is jam-packed with good music from some great HEAVY rock bands! "Haze Daze 4/20 EP" features one song each from the bands Foghound, Gozu, and The Judge and all three of these cool rock bands have releases that are due out this summer on Ripple Music. Of the three Gozu is probably my favorite, but really you can't go wrong with any of the bands that appear of this highly-recommend digital EP. You can find "Haze Daze 4/20 EP" by heading here and if Ripple Music happens to read this then by all means PLEASE contact me about covering your forthcoming releases! Simply put, "Haze Daze 4/20 EP" is the kind of rock that gets right to me and makes me want to get the fuck down!!!! I'm just saying....

Free Metal Monday: Ripple Music - 5 Year Anniversary Compilation

Ripple Music
2015

Here's another fantastic digital compilation to start your work week off on the right foot! This 24-track sampler(!) features artists from Ripple Music's impressive roster of artists and it serves as a celebration of "the great music that has helped fuel the label's energies and creative juices". That is their words, but I'll gladly second that notion and add that if you are into cool stoner and/or heavy rock then you'll want to add this compilation asap! Available as a name-your-own-price download by heading here, Ripple Music's 5th Anniversary sampler shows just how vital smaller labels and PR firms can be and why the heavy metal community should do all they can to support such ventures.
