Something to Look Forward to from The Brought Low

Posted in Whathaveyou on August 7th, 2009 by JJ Koczan

Grabbed this one from the StonerRock.com news section and figured I’d put it here in case anyone didn’t see it there. Okay, basically it’s an excuse to put up a Brought Low video. Sue me. These guys rule. Can’t wait to hear the obligatory slow jam.

In case you forgot, they’ve got two new songs on their MySpace. Go get ’em.

KVLT!Loading in to Andrew Schneider‘s studio this afternoon to begin setting up and getting sounds for Brought Low record numero tres basics recording.

70`s Les Paul with Super Distortion pickups? Check. Goldtop with P90s? Check. Telecaster? Check. Buncha funky pedals Bob makes fun of that probably won`t get used that much? Check. Vintage wood drumkit? Check. Ibuprofen? Check. Ford F150? Check. Tones? For days, brah.

Am psyched. Started in theory as our acoustic Zeppelin 3 then wrote a bunch of fast punk rock songs and then slowed it down and got more riffey. A little something for everyone plus the obligitory slow jam.

Should be fun. Will post updates as magic happens.

Monday Cheer from The Brought Low

Posted in Whathaveyou on March 30th, 2009 by JJ Koczan

Rock. (photo by M. David Leeds)Whatever else happens this week, at the end of it, we’ll all come out winners, because New York‘s The Brought Low have posted two new songs on their MySpace page. Says guitarist/vocalist/all around good dude Ben Smith on the StonerRock.com message board:

Hey all,
I just posted two new pre-production demos for Brought Low album number three on our MySpace page. We cut these completely live in our practice space so the sound quality is a little wanting but we thought the performances and songs were good enough to share so hopefully these will tide you over until the end of the year when the new record comes out.

The songs are “Mattie Groves” and “Time Will Come.” Any resemblance to any other similarly-titled songs is entirely intentional yet well within applicable copyright laws and statutes. And yes, we like Australian punk rock, a lot.

Anyhow enjoy.

Enjoy indeed. And when you’re done with the new ones, remind yourself of how much ass 2006’s Right on Time kicked by listening to the other songs on there. The only downer is we’ll have to wait till the end of the year for the new record, but if these two are any indication, it’s going to be worth it. Kick ass.
