| moe. goes all out with No Guts, No Glory |
May is often considered the unofficial start of the summer. The sunshine is finally out, birds are chirping, festivals are underway, and signs of new life keep us excited for what lies ahead. An added bonus to all this, is the garden-sized allotment of fresh tunes.
New York jam-rockers moe. are making some headlines with their latest album No Guts, No Glory [May 27, via Sugar Hill]. The album, which according to guitarist Chuck Garvey started out as an acoustic record, turned out to be a hard-hitting rock album, even including a few jams. On the Garvey-penned opening track "Annihilation Blues", the band shows off it's alt-country thrasher muscles and kicks off the album with a bang. The rest of the record is a beautiful journey of guitar-rock mixed in with textured tones of xylophone. moe.'s summer tour takes them through the U.S., Japan, and Germany, with big gigs at LOHI Music Festival, Fuji Rock, and Gathering of the Vibes.
Along with all the great weather comes the ability to get outside and enjoy it, whether it be on the beach, on the boat, or on the golf course. The May mix features some phenomenal music and sounds great while bouncing along the vibrant nature trails.
