The Family Battenberg – Spider Rock Forever EP
The garage rock scene has thrived in recent years, with many new music outlets delivering excellent music. Still, it seems like the majority overly exploits their influences, experiment too much with various music genres, or try to reinvent the same old wheel by mimicking something the greats recorded and performed decades ago. Thankfully, there are bands like The Family Battenberg whose music brings fresh, unique, innovative ideas and sonic maneuvers to the table. With “Spider Rock Forever,” their debut extended play, released on October 10th, this marvelous quartet vividly showcases a brand-new, improved, and charming garage rock sound. Heavily promoted with “Foggy,” “Spiders,” and “Anteater,” three exceptional singles released earlier this year that vividly demonstrate what you might expect from the remainder of the material, “Spider Rock Forever” carries everything you ever needed from this longstanding music genre, plus many, many more. Perhaps The Family Battenberg dominantly relies on this style, as many fundamental elements are present from start to finish, yet they have incorporated other complementary genres along the way. You’ll notice how some of the finest properties borrowed from psychedelic rock, alternative, classic rock, rock ‘n’ roll, and folk lurk around, enhancing, decorating, and accentuating these songs while the band simultaneously remains loyal to the primary sonic direction. They also incorporated various techniques, approaches, and directions, making “Spider Rock Forever” such a pleasant listening experience worth repeating over and over again. Perhaps The Family Battenberg showcases all those qualities that meet the trends in contemporary music production, but you’ll notice how they added a subtle touch of nostalgia, evoking sixties and seventies music, two eras when garage rock sound ruled the airwaves. This dedication to the craft is rarely heard or seen nowadays, and these experimentations with various approaches, techniques, and complementary music genres resulted in one of the finest garage rock recordings you’ll hear in a while.
Photo by Lindsay MelbourneThis epic sonic voyage commences with “Foggy,” a perfect introductory piece that sets the tone for the remainder of the extended play. The entire composition is decorated with excellent vocal performance, uplifting back vocals, fuzzy guitar works, equally impressive basslines, and flawless drumming performance. “Foggy” arrives with a perfect structure, adorned with many profoundly detailed segments, brilliant ideas, and marvelous orchestrations that elevate this song to new heights. These are the moments where The Family Battenberg demonstrates their tremendous dedication to the craft, creativity, talent, and skills. “Gwyllgi” expands their sound even more, with all those heavily distorted guitar riffs and chord progression shaping a perfect ambiance for all the vocals to shine upon. The guitars continuously levitate from calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal to more raw, abrasive, gritty, powerful, and aggressive. These sonic levitations construct a dynamic, detailed, luxuriant sound which immediately wraps around your listening apparatus and refuses to let go. The Family Battenberg expertly balances noise with melody, calmness with aggression, emotion with grit. Besides guitars, there are all those complex low-end notes, helping out the mentioned instrumentations by contributing more heaviness, clarity, and depth, which the drumming performance keeps all the orchestrations with thoughtfully assembled rhythmic sequences, providing dynamics, groove, and pace. “Friend Of Mine,” the third song on this material, showcases The Family Battenberg’s admiration for folk rock music. It’s a stripped-down, semi-acoustic composition where carefully assembled chord progressions and tambourine craft a soundscape for a soulful, passionate, sincere, emotive vocal performance. The band keeps this composition as hypnotic, addictive, irresistible, and catchy as possible, letting the listener dive deep into a soothing atmosphere. It’s a beautiful composition that will immediately grab your attention thanks to its ethereal, otherworldly nature.
With “Spiders,” The Family Battenberg brings back heavy rock atmosphere, capable of satisfying even the pickiest listeners. They fully stacked this song with some of the finest guitar works, which immediately constructs a colossal, expansive, fascinating ambiance. These chord progressions and riffs are so thoughtfully paired with all those intricate, semi-distorted basslines for some extra punch, while another barrage of tasteful beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics accentuates and uplifts the entire song on an entirely new level. The vocal harmonies give this track more emotion and soul, as they serve as one of the main sources of melody, besides the guitars. “Anteater” carries a fine blend of some of the finest elements borrowed from hard rock, classic rock, and garage rock, merged together with such precision and finesse. You’ll immediately notice how The Family Battenberg infused even more fuzz into those guitar works, making this song as raw, abrasive, and dirty as possible while retaining a decent dosage of melody intact. It’s a wise move, considering that this track almost solely relies upon sheer power, energy, and aggression, also delivered through low-end burst and wild drumming performances. This epic sonic voyage comes to an end with “Ghouls! Conga Line!,” a marvelous psych-infused garage rock composition that sums up everything you ever needed to know about this incredible band. It carries all the traits that make The Family Battenberg such a fascinating band. It’s packed with a comprehensive collection of heavy riffs and additional themes, heavy beats, powerful basslines, and catchy vocal lines. Such a treat for every loyal garage rock fan!
“Spider Rock Forever” is a perfect debut release, carrying everything you ever needed from garage rock music. The Family Battenberg poured heart and soul into this material, resulting in six impressive sonic explorations that will immediately grab you by the collar and transport you into a completely different realm. It’s surely one of those recordings you do not want to miss. “Spider Rock Forever” is available on all streaming platforms. Listen to it loud!

Casual Drag – The Master
“The Master” is the latest release by Casual Drag, an outstanding Scottish trio based in Glasgow. It’s their first piece of work this year, arriving after “Can You Hear Me Now?” and “Revolution Will Eat Itself,” a standalone single and extended play released in 2024 and 2023 that you should also check out as soon as possible. Their latest effort arrives with many innovations in songwriting, composition, arrangements, and production, showcasing a natural progression of an already incredible band. Lyrically, “The Master” talks about not struggling against the obstacles in life and not letting the trauma rule or limit you. It encourages taking control over the trajectory and fighting against everything that trauma imposed on us. Casual Drag tackles various sentiments, moods, situations, and circumstances through “The Master,” making it a highly relatable song that will immediately resonate with the broader audience. Sonically, there are a lot of things going on in Casual Drag’s music. They employ various approaches, techniques, and styles to depict a lush sonic imagery that immediately wraps around the listening apparatus, grabs by the collar, and refuses to let go long after the last notes and beats end. Perhaps garage rock comes to mind first, but you’ll unquestionably stumble upon some of the finest properties borrowed from post-punk, punk rock, noise rock, grunge, alternative, and indie. The band uses all these elements as more than necessary enhancements, uplifting the entire new song to new heights while simultaneously remaining loyal to the primary sonic direction. Therefore, these experimentations with various approaches, techniques, and music genres resulted in a catchy track that will immediately resonate with anyone looking for raw, energetic, and powerful music.
Photo courtesy of the band.From the onset, it becomes apparent that these skillful musicians have poured heart and soul into their latest track. “The Master” carries so many brilliant moments that you’ll gladly spin this garage rock gem all over again. It arrives with a profoundly detailed structure, adorned with all those profoundly detailed segments, brilliant ideas, and catchy instrumentations, thoughtfully packed to satisfy even the pickiest music enthusiasts. As soon as you press play, you’ll hear that guitar play a main role in shaping a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. This composition is fully stacked with all those catchy, memorable, addictive, hypnotic chord progressions, riffs, and themes, heavily drenched in generous servings of fuzz distortion. The guitar sounds raw, abrasive, and gritty from scratch to finish, bringing more detail to the ambiance, yet you’ll hear every note delivered through this particular instrument. Perhaps Casual Draw solely relies on heavy, powerful, and aggressive sound, but they also implemented some melody and harmony, which, in this case, acts as a counterbalance, providing even more detail to this track. The lead vocal performance acts as a centerpiece of this sonic equation, commanding attention, elevating the entire song to new heights, and leading listeners on an epic journey through the noisy universe. Whether exploring lower and calmer registers or delivering powerful shouts that provide even more aggression to the song, the vocals seamlessly balance everything the remainder of the band intended to achieve with this track. Besides decorating all those segments and orchestrations, these vocal harmonies also contribute more than necessary emotional depth and detail. You’ll also notice all those additional vocal layers, back vocals, and sing-alongs, giving more power and an anthemic feel to the particular segments. It’s such a nice and effective addition that works to the advantage of this excellent track.
Of course, this composition wouldn’t sound complete without an equally impressive rhythm section. Beneath all those lush guitar works, the vividly hearable, intricate, warm-sounding basslines rumble, contributing more than necessary heaviness, clarity, and depth while serving as a binding element between the mentioned instrumentations and rhythmic patterns. These rich, deep, dense, and heavy low-ends contribute even more groove and detail, making “The Master” even more complex. The exceptional drumming performance, based upon energetic, thoughtfully arranged, flawlessly performed, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics, keeps everything in line while simultaneously dictating groove and pace. Each kick of the snare, kick of the bass drum, accentuation on the hi-hat, and splash over the cymbal cuts through the ambiance, providing more power and dynamics. As you can see, Casual Drag thought about everything while writing and composing their latest standalone single. “The Master” expertly blends only the finest properties of garage, punk rock, post-punk, noise rock, and grunge music, demonstrating that even longstanding music genres like these can still sound innovative, fresh, unique, and exciting. Causal Drag crafted an excellent song, packed with tremendous rawness, aggression, and power, vividly showcasing their skills, creativity, talent, knowledge, and experience. Therefore, if you’re looking for a catchy, memorable, engaging listening experience packed with meaningful lyricism and outstanding musical performance, “The Master” will be right up your alley. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
