I like to keep this up front with most people I meet because I don't want there to be any misunderstanding. I think they are best band going, bar none. I have never figured out why I like them so much. They aren't the best musicians, or the best song writers. Sometimes Chino isn't the most modest of fellows. However, whatever the reasons I can listen to them any day, any time and think it is awesome. Most of my friends think I am nuts.
I first began to like the band when their album, "Around the Fur" was released. I had heard tracks from their debut over the airwaves. Broadcast from a station in Seattle that my room wasn't really within range of, but I listened to it anyways. By the time "White Pony", came out I was hooked.
I remember going on this epic 3 day camping journey that summer. My buddies that were supposed to have gone with me, just bailed and so I ended up going alone. I was by myself on the very northern tip of Vancouver Island, only the wind and the bears for company. I didn't bring the album with me, but I played it crazy loud in my truck on the drive there and back. I liked it so much that I just felt like the coolest guy alive.
Anyways, I am eagerly awaiting their new album. Abe Cunningham was yesterday reported as saying in an interview with Rolling Stone that it would probably come out sometime after May of this year.
Cheers,
Billzor
