One of my favorite bands of all-time is Corrosion of Conformity. Over the last 27 years (with a few hiatuses along the way) they have been bringing it hard in about 500 different ways. Things haven’t been quite the same since Reed Mullin, a friend and one of the greatest rock drummers of all-time in my completely accurate opinion, left the band in 2001, but I was excited to hear that Reed and former singer Karl Agell from the “Blind”-era lineup have recently put a band together called Corrosion of Conformity-Blind and are doing a handful of shows in which they are playing COC’s awesome “Blind” album in its entirety, along with some other rock classics. I won’t be able to see any of the shows myself unfortunately, but there is good video of their entire recent Raleigh show here. Take yourself to rock school and check it out now. And for more COC awesomeness, pick up “Animosity,” “Blind,” “Deliverance,” or “Wiseblood,” my favorites.
Here is the video for “Albatross” from COC’s “Deliverance” album. It’s a sweet jam.
And as long as I’m on the topic of rock, here is another song from my rock band Valley Lodge’s new album “Semester at Sea,” which you can pick up here and here (and more places soon). This one’s called “Comin’ Around,” which appears both on our new album and as a bonus track on the Japanese version of our classic self-titled debut. It pretty much has everything.
