This is easily one of the coolest band you’re probably not listening to. Anyone who even remotely considers him/herself a Clutch fan needs to check out Plainride. Like, yesterday. Your life will be all the much better for it.
Favorite track: Hour Of The Mûmakil.

lyrics
Oh, great Palamedes
Won’t you be so kind and cast your dime
This attack on our shared values
Requires everyone to fall right in line
Now that this bond has been reforged
Should we send the noble drones
My liege, I regret to inform you
The fencing-off of the commons isn’t going quite as planned
Idols, trinkets, and magic
Have put a temporary halt to our advance
Now swiftly send for the inquisitor
If you‘re so inclined
Tremble not before the aspect of Chthon
For the hour of the Mûmakil has only just begun
Turn your eye towards that loaded core for me
If you're seeking out the battlements, the battlements
Keep good watch over that loaded core indeed
If you wanna join the elephants, the elephants

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
