While his name might not be the single most memorable in music at first (Dave Tough was also the name of a well-known jazz drummer in Dixieland and Swing era of the Thirties and Forties), it would be hard to overlook Dave Tough's voice after hearing this...
Raw Geronimo play prog-structured music with the ferocity of punk rock. They combine tribal rhythms, guitars which alternate between aggressive and ethereal, and Laena Geronimo's no-limits voice to create a sound that hits hard and lingers long. After playing in a...
To say that Nirvana's third and ultimately final studio album In Utero was 1993's most polarizing record would be the understatement of a decade. The unadorned sonic rawness of Steve Albini's recording laid bare every primal nuance of the most...
