Real Gone Music US Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The self-titled debut album from one of the first all-girl rock bands. Fanny formed in 1969 and signed to Reprise records that year. The band had five albums in total until 1975 when they broke up fully. The band is influential for their playing and the lyrical topics the band wrote about with many citing them as an inspiration. The Cream cover 'Badge' got some airplay nationally from this album but otherwise, the album was not a commercial success. There are many historians that point to the lack of success of this band as sexism with the industry at the time for an all-girl rock band. The band gained a cult following from those who remember and kept the music playing. This reissue comes in a beautifully designed gatefold with great looking orange vinyl.

Review: Originally released in 2003, Self-Destructive Pattern served as the third full-length from Los Angeles industrial-tinged nu-metal outfit Spineshank, and had the unenviable task of following up 2000's breakout sophomore effort The Height Of Callousness. Reuniting with legendary producer perfectionist GGGarth Richardson (Biffy Clyro, Rage Against The Machine) to help push their style into simultaneously more electronic aggression whilst elevating their melodic scope, the album offers a curious time in the nu-metal landscape where artists were searching for a sonic way out of their restrictive genre confines. Lead single 'Smothered' was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance 2004, yet ultimately lost to Metallica's St. Anger.
