1. SHE KEEPS ME COMING AND I KEEP GOING BACK
Ruyter and I have always wanted to make a record that would that we could play for our families. Well this ain’t it!! From the first line of this opening song it’s like the loud hillbilly neighbors banging on your front door and demanding to party. And not taking no as an answer.
2. WE WANT A WAR
I’m really proud of this one. Musically, it’s Ted Nugent meets The Temptations. Lyrically, it’s the most smart ass anti-war song since Country Joe And Fish’s “Feel Like I’m Going To Die”. This song is also as political as we’re ever going to get. American politics is like high school. And I fucking hated high school.

3. JUST ANOTHER WHITE BOY
This started out as a sort of autobiographical acoustic song I wrote while sitting around the house. The lyrics were great but the music was kind of boring. So we put the lyrics to this amazing NAZARETH / BTO 70’s jam we came up and now it’s an ageless riff. It’s got lyrics so good you would be proud to put on your tombstone. And Ruyter’s solo is so good you’ll want to dance on your own grave!

4. GO HOME AND DIE
This song is mean! I even scare myself on this one. Am I the Hillbilly Alice Cooper? Yeah. FUCK YEAH!!

5. LOW DOWN DIRTY PIG
Ruyter thinks this one will be extremely popular song for strippers to swing around the pole to. I guess we’ll see. Yeah, we want to see! Send videos please!

6. TESTIFY
Our good buddy George Clinton wrote this song. We jammed on it on my birthday. It was the perfect present! I put the guitar down and did my Kentucky Soul stomp while Ruyter and Ben came up with this stellar arrangement. And Ruyter finally got to use that wah wah pedal that had been sitting around the house. The Hammond Organ kicks ass and Ruyter and Bonnie’s vocals sound extra great too.

7. ONE BAD MOTHER
This is one of the songs that’s about Lemmy. Check out the words and you’ll see we’re right on the money. Losing him is something that I’m still having trouble dealing with. We miss that guy.

8. WOKE UP THIS MORNING
This one was originally supposed to be a bonus track. But once we added Greg Martin’s (of the Kentucky Headhunters) phenomenal slide guitar, there’s no way it could just be a bonus track. It’s a cover of a classic NAZARETH song. I think ours is just as great as theirs. That’s saying a lot.

9. DRINKING MY LIFE AWAY
A good old fashion drunkard’s anthem. Ruyter wrote the riff on tour during soundcheck. I recorded it on my phone. I wrote the lyrics based on my experience touring with NASHVILLE PUSSY. I always said that you if think a Nashville Pussy song describes you, then it’s timed to change your life. So maybe I should calm the fuck down. Nah.

10. ENDLESS RIDE
This is another song written about Lemmy. I wrote the original lyrics while Lemmy was still alive. I recited the words to him backstage in LA one night to get his approval. He only liked the last verse. So I went and rewrote the rest of it.

11. HANG TIGHT
Our tribute to our good friends ZZ TOP. This one sounds like a hit to me.
It’s completed by some cool Kentucky harmonica playing.
I think this might be Ruyter’s best solo ever too.

12. CCKMP
This is a Steve Earl cover. It’s a dark ditty that was the only song Steve wrote during a 4 year long heroin binge in the early 90’s.
I had never heard it before until our actor friend Earl Brown brought over his guitar to Pussy Manor one night and sang it for me.
The song immediately stopped me and my tracks. It’s so haunting. I love our version. We kick the shit out of it.

13. TIRED OF PRETENDING THAT I GIVE A SHIT
The title and attitude are a tribute to the late great George Carlin.
It’ a sonic rollercoaster that’s the perfect ending for a damn near perfect album.
It’s a great statement for the times you people live in.
(Hey, we’re Nashville Pussy, we live in our own world!)

Volume IV – Long in the Tooth

March 21st, 2014 by BMF

I received my copy of the new Volume IV album Long in the Tooth release on limited vinyl, CD and download card the other day. I used the Gene Simmons test for how good it will sound on my awesome home stereo system by first listening on my crappy car radio. Not only did it sound great in the car, I hurried home to slap the CD into the home system and turned it up to 11.

This is great Rock and Roll. The type of music that you can feel in your gut coming through your speakers at both a high volume and low volume. I could go on and on about how you can hear different influences, blah blah blah but the bottom line is the music these guys have created will rock your ass off.

This may be silly to some but what makes this whole new music experience even better for me personally, is the label sent a personalized note with the package (I love when record people do that) and there is the fact that a really long time great friend of mine is in this band. Mr. Blake Parris on thundering bass I don’t know the other guys in band but hope to soon. Blake you have hit it out of the park with this one man. I am proud as hell to know you and am happy as hell you have put this great slab of Rock into my hands. Another great detail often missed by bands putting out music is they actually got all the CD info on the CD so unless you are using a CD player from the 80?s, you can see the track names and all. These are details that are important to me. Great package of music Volume IV.

Be sure to check out the photos of the band playing live in Marietta exactly one year ago.

4/15/18 ~update by mc~ This has been a missing BMF post. I found it in the web archives saved on just one date and then it vanished. But I’m glad it’s found cause it’s our pal Blake’s band(one of his bands). Jeff loved this band and dedicated a section to them on MusicFilter. Only thing I’ll add is the music from the album. It looks like they have sold out of the album. We have one or two…not sure. Thanks to Blake and Volume IV for making this hardcore music. Wow I’m listening now. It’s great. Very Sheavy. 🙂

The Ruiners – Motorcycle Lazarus

and the Master of Fire and Love

CLICK IT TO TAKE THE BLOW AND GO

I received the new Ruiners record a couple of weeks ago, Motorcycle Lazarus and The Masters of Fire and Love.

You may know if you ever come to this website I am a huge Ruiners fan already.

I will do a more lengthy review when I get the time but I wanted to say that it kicks major ass. Harder then recent releases it sounds GREAT. Get a copy before they are all gone. This is the type of record you plop on the turntable, turn the volume to 11 and let the music envelope your senses. Your senses will thank you.

Read a recent interview of Rick here and a local Detroit review here.

Volume IV signs deal with Ripple Music

July 11th, 2013 by BMF

Very cool news:

RIPPLE MUSIC is proud to announce the signing of acclaimed, hard-hitting American heavy rockers, VOLUME IV to their ever-expanding roster!

VOLUME IV is a unit that unleashes their mighty sonic attack with aplomb and a nasty sneer on their faces. Full of grit and no-nonsense rock, VOLUME IV pummel their listeners to a bloody pulp with a fierce combination of heavy groove, dirty melodies and that all important riff. Individually the members of VOLUME IV have shared the stage with legendary acts such as MOTORHEAD, IRON MAIDEN, DANZIG, MASTODON, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and DOWN. Now, back in the studio, VOLUME IV is hard at work recording their RIPPLE MUSIC debut album, tentatively titled Long in the Tooth. Plowing the same massively heavy fields of 70?s/80?s classic hard rock that fueled their debut EP, VOLUME IV aim to build upon the crushing success of that first release and take their rocking brand of heaviness to a new level. And when the band describes themselves as “Loud Motherfuckers” you better bet that the new album will rock! Whatever title the new album takes, RIPPLE MUSIC is set to unleash the heaviness worldwide in 2014, as the band makes plans to tour and hopefully hit all the major heavy rock festivals.

VOLUME IV commented yesterday upon the new alliance; “Other than not signing us in the back of a limo over mounds of cocaine, we feel Ripple is one of the best labels going and we are proud to be part of the family!! It’s clear that these guys don’t compromise in terms of putting out creative music and are true believers of heavy rock. The variety of bands and the sheer quality of music they’ve released speaks for itself. We’re very honored that our music earned its place among their ranks!”

For the growing legions of Ripple fans, known as the Waveriders, VOLUME IV will be another must-hear addition to the ranks of bands that already include such heavy rockers as Mos Generator, Devil to Pay, Mothership, Trucker Diablo and Ape Machine. And you can bet that the combination of VOLUME IV and RIPPLE MUSIC will be a combustible mixture!

July 13th Nashville, TN Foobar w/ Beitthemeans

Zach played four songs last night at the Red Light Cafe in Atlanta last night. His voice and lyrics were complimented by many in the Cafe with extra kudos coming from the bartender who said she really liked his words. Each artist was given 15 minutes to perform as part of the “Open for a big shot Shootout – Hosted by Kahle Davis. Zach had 6 minutes to spare after his first three songs and wowed the crowd with “The Trip” as his finale.

While Zach did not win round one of the shootout he plans to return next week with some new songs for another chance.

Links to last nights performance:

Zach Green – I don’t care

Zach Green Reigns Supreme with “The Trip, Not Here”

April 16th, 2013 by BMF

Zach Green played the open mic night at Smith’s Olde Bar last night and once again ruled the stage with his incredible tone. The guitar did not come through all the way during his performance but it wasn’t missed because Zach’s voice is an instrument all its own. The crowd loved it and many said they look forward to more of his voice commenting how great his deep tone is. The song he played was “The Trip” written last weekend. We look forward to many more performances from Zach. For now here is a video of last nights performance.
