Orchestral metal band Red Sparowes is streaming a new song off their upcoming EP Aphorisms. The track is titled "We left the apes to rot, but find the fang still grows within" and it's an epic blend of 60's psychedelic rock and present day experimental metal. Imagine Pink Floyd jamming with ISIS or Earth in session with Faust. You can hear it on Red Sparowes' myspace page. The digital EP will be available August 1st, but no physical copies until Fall according to a rep... MORE

I posted at MOG about Red Sparowes a month or two ago. Today my interview with two of its members, Cliff Meyer and Greg Burns is up at PopMatters. Here's a bit: "Majestic, monolithically heavy yet full of light and air and structure, Red Sparowes' music may have been informed by metal and hardcore, but it has ended up somewhere else entirely, exploring new territories of shifting dynamics and cinematic scope."

A cool chick took me to see the Red Sparowes at Mercury Lounge last week. Always a good sign if a girl not only chooses where you go on a first date, but she takes you to a rock show. Red Sparowes really blew me away live.

This album has been just slaying me the last couple of days...it's entirely instrumental, guitar-based with roots in metal and hardcore but absolutely freaking beautiful. The band's sort of a supergroup with members from Isis, Neurosis, Angel Hair and Pleasure Forever...and I think you'll hear some similarities at least with Neurosis and Isis, I'm not super-familiar with others. Words like "epic" "majestic" and "shattering" come to mind, but there are also some surprisin... MORE

Caught the Red Sparowes with William Elliott Whitmore and Caspian at TT the Bear's in Cambridge MA on Thursday March 8th, one of the coldest damn nights of the year, but it was hot at TT's. Caspian led off with a great instrumental set. Their music tends to be in the same vein as Pelican and Sparowes with collective ensemble work, no soloing, and ebbs and flows of intense, lush multi-level, multi-textural music that alternating washes over and through and then rocks the ...

if you enjoy the chatter free stylings of the newer post-rock bands like mogwai and pelican and all those sorts of good dudes... i really must implore you to enjoy red sparowes immediately. yes, this record has been out for well over a year and is no news flash. i just bring it up now because well, the ipod is on shuffle and they came on and i was still just blown away by the magnitude of the song and decided to listen to the whole record. i know instrumentals aren't for e...

Ok so I'm working 4 12 hr day shifts then on my 5th day I'm working a night shift. I'll be off then for 3 days before starting my 4 night shifts. My sleep pattern will be so screwed up. I could not pass up the extra night of overtime though. Gotta pay my daughters rent at college though. On the plus side this bottle of rebel yell whiskey will help me get through also I got a bunch of jumbo microwaveable burritos to keep me full. Red sparowes, whiskey, burrit... MORE
