Foo Fighters - The Teacher https://youtu.be/6MF6trC529M I kinda miss the funny Foo days.But I still want to be Dave Grohl when I grow up. TEN minutes?? Quite a journey.
Signs of the Swarm - Tower of Torsos https://youtu.be/7d4P51ye_0I pretty solid deathcore. New album out July 28th, available for pre-sale https://signsoftheswarm.lnk.to/AmongstTheLowAndEmpty
Johnny Booth - Full Tilt https://youtu.be/soLD8obmHjA REALLY cool intro! I LOVE when Metalcore (or any genre) can go for more than 4 minutes and have it make sense.
Jasta - Assimilate Agenda https://youtu.be/3DgpCXtxVdA featuring Steve Souza “Zetro” from Exodus. Jasta is at his finest in front of Hatebreed… this feels awkward and forced. Not terrible though.

New Code Orange is GREAT!!!
Deftones - Bloody Cape https://youtu.be/0mnXzCCpctU Remastered video from the self-titled album. For the 20th anniversary. I miss HEAVY Deftones!
