Deathbot

You Should Know


So I get a lot of emails from bands, and for the most part I delete them because either (a) I'm not into it, or (b) they only send me a few tracks and I'm not comfortable spouting off opinions based on a song or two. Recently I got a message from a San Francisco band named Deathbot (their name reminds me of when I used to listen to stuff like Sepultura and Corosion Of Conformity in middle school). Not only are they offering their entire new album Cold Wind Revival for free download on their website, they don't suck either. Rather than being some Swedish death metal band, Deathbot is the alt. country project of songwriters R. Mansfeld and Joseph James, who were the respective lead singers of New York punk/rap group Turbulence & Calibrate and California americana band Big Wheels. These guys don't look much older than their early 20's but the songs on Cold Wind Revival are polished little alt. country gems well worth checking out. The songs on the album have a very "dudes in western shirts singing by a campfire" feel to them, which is always fine with me. So go check out their new album.. I mean, it's free, what have you got to lose? -- Capt. Obvious
