Hi! We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99—that’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just pre-ordered the album at Bandcamp (By the way, today is a ‘Bandcamp Friday’, all proceeds go to the artist, so snap it up today if you can.):
Includes digital pre-order of Air Guitar. You get 2 tracks now (streaming via the free Bandcamp app and also available as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more), plus the complete album the moment it’s released. Digital album releases October 26, 2022. Physical item ships out on or around November 10, 2022

In case you are new to Sobs, here’s a song from their first album:
I thought this was gonna be a cover of the Focus classic ‘Hocus Pocus’, but instead it’s a mashup Queen’s 'Bohemian Rhapsody’, 3 Deep Purple songs ('Burn’, 'Stormbringer’, and 'Highway Star’), and a bit of The Edgar Winter Group’s 'Frankenstein’. Oh, and a bit of 'Foreplay’ by Boston thrown in towards the end. A brilliant metal/prog mashup! =D
All sung / riffed / soloed over the main theme of 'Hocus Pocus’. (they omit the yodeling and scatting)
Gabriela Gunčíková, Rudy Sarzo, Ken Mary, Scott Van Zen, Patrick Bradley, and Gary Schutt. Full credits and links back at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy YT.
In case you are unfamiliar and would like to hear some *Dutch proggers going insane:
[About Scary Pockets: “a funk band that releases weekly music videos, in pursuit of the funk. Scary Pockets is Ryan Lerman and Jack Conte, with the help and support from a rotating roster of the best session musicians in the LA area.”]
Hang my head, drown my fear, ‘Til you all just disappear…
Joan Chamorro is a brilliant musician with a genius eye for young talent. His Sant Andreu Jazz Band members all play at least one instrument and sing lead vocal. Some even lead their own combos as teenagers. Rita Payés plays trombone and sings.
Joan Codina-trombone, Joan Chamorro-bass& conductor, Rita Payés-trombone, Ignasi Terraza-piano, Esteve Pi-drums
This is a 1998 live set from Marc Bonilla and his band, with guest appearances on some songs by Keith Emerson (r.i.p.) and Glenn Hughes. One of the best versions I’ve ever heard of Tarkus! (the Emerson, Lake & Palmer classic epic from 1971). Tarkus starts at 33:17.
Insane guitar and great playing throughout this album. And I didn’t even know of its existence until about an hour ago, how does a thing like this stay a secret, LOL?! (Apparently released in 2013, nobody tells me nothin’!)
