Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat the Devil's Tattoo

Distorted guitar? Check. Distorted bass? Check. Distorted church organ? Check. Distorted vocals? Check. Even the acoustic songs are 100% rock and roll.

Moon - OST

Wooden Ruler Society doesn't review movies so I can't tell you how awesome Moon starring Sam Rockwell is. I can't tell you to go Netflix that shit (even though I want to,) but what I can tell you is that the soundtrack is amazing and worth listening to whether or not you've seen the movie. Clint Mansell composed this which makes sense. He's the guy that did the soundtracks for Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, and a bunch of other awesome movies. When his name rolled by in the credits I thought to myself, that makes sense.

No Kids - Come Into My House

If Yeasayer's All Hour Cymbals is the steak, No Kids' Come Into My House is the red wine to go with it.

Endless Boogie - Full House Head

I just sent my friend this text - "I'm 10 seconds into Full House Head and it's awesome." I only got this album cuz he sent me a text to check it out. His text read - "I think you'd love it. Endless riffs." If I didn't know this just came out, I'd think this was the album that influenced Tony Iommi. Oh, and I haven't looked into it, but I'm willing to guess that the ratio of bearded dudes to not bearded dudes at an Endless Boogie concert is probably somewhere around 23:1.

The Swell Season - Two Headed-Boy

Glen Hansard should be the only person allowed to cover Neutral Milk Hotel.

Russian Circles - Geneva

Here is another album that makes me feel a little bit better about These Arms Are Snakes breaking up. This is the epic instrumental metal band of the bass player from TAAS. At times the music is sweet and soothing and at it's peak you can hear his bass growl like a dog. That's pretty much all you need to know.
