Urbansnake – Who Says Goodnight 2012
NOW!
Growing up in and around the West Coast music scene in the 80s and 90s, it’s in my blood to think that the second wave of heavy rock bands naturally comes from the Left Coast. Bands like Van Halen, Megadeth, and, of course, Metallica. Then I heard New-York-based Urbansnake. Until Urbansnake, there was nobody out there, that I had come across, that could throw down a challenge to cornerstone bands like these and walk away intact.
Urbansnake is honest, in your face, balls to the wall, no bullshit rock. The first time I played “Postal” on Sirius Satellite and my companion online show, UC Radio, listener reaction was overwhelming. I had to give in and admit that there was a challenger to the West Coast Metal sound, and that this beast from the East was not only doing it right, but that they were doing it right on every song.
See, Urbansnake is not a band looking for that one killer single and instant success. This is a band in the old school, “cram them in a studio and let them fight it out until they’re done” mold. This is a band whose drive is coming from tortured amps, not an engineer sitting behind a board twisting knobs. This is a band that gets its point across with anger and angst driven, powerful lyrics and vocals, and a rhythm section that is rock solid. And when you’ve got a band as talented and as driven as Urbansnake behind the wheel, it all comes together and forms a perfect storm, taking down anything that gets in its way.
