Veloz on Live from the Fallout Shelter, 12/27

On Monday December 27, Veloz will be playing a set on Live from the Fallout Shelter on WUML 91.5FM! This band includes members of Furnace, who played on the show back in 2008. Like their predecessor, Veloz is fast, heavy and intense, almost as if Motorhead had a baby with Converge. Most of their songs are under two minutes long and offer a constant and steady pattern of thrash which the musicians involved have the talent to make worth listening to. This band strikes me as the type of band that would start playing a set and then finish the entire set seven minutes later. It would most likely be one of the best hardcore sets the people in the audience would have ever seen, despite the fact that they probably don't have any limbs left.

So tune in this Monday from 8 - 11pm, with Veloz playing at 930pm and the best in underground music before and after the set as well as an interview with the band. You can listen at WUML 91.5FM or online at www.wuml.org.

Dreamtigers on Live from the Fallout Shelter, 12/20

This Monday December 20, Dreamtigers will be playing a live set on Live from the Fallout Shelter on WUML 91.5FM. This will be the band's second appearance on the radio show and we are very excited to have them back! The band features current members of Defeater and past members of Ambitions, Life In Your Way and Acta Non Verba. Displaying sounds similar to that of Bon Iver or Iron and Wine but with more of a pop-rock sense added to the mix, this band is perfect for everyday indie rock and folk fans and even hardcore fans who are looking to relax for an evening. Intimate and heartfelt, yet driving and intense.

The band has just released a new 5-song 7 inch titled "Fools" through Grinding Tapes Recording Company. You can listen to a track off the album and then order it at http://www.grindingtapes.org/artists/dreamtigers/fools/

So listen this Monday night from 8 - 11pm with Dreamtigers playing a set at 930pm and the best in underground music before and after the set as well as an interview with the band. You can check the band out at http://www.myspace.com/dreamtigersmusic.

Pictures and video footage from the show will be posted soon!

Darkwoods on Live from the Fallout Shelter, 12/13

This Monday December 13, local hardcore outfit Darkwoods will be performing a set on Live from the Fallout Shelter. These guys hail from the South Shore and are about as fast, heavy and angry as it gets...but in a good way. While listening to them, I can just see an image in my head of a circle pit opening up from wall to wall at your local VFW or Knights of Colombus and no one in the audience being able to resist. Their music definitely reminds me of bands like Bane, Ceremony and Verse...heavy, hard and with vocals that are right up front making sure the listener is paying attention.

You can check Darkwoods out at http://wwww.myspace.com/darkwoodshc where they have a free download of their "Road To Ruin" EP.

So tune in this Monday from 8 - 11pm for Live from the Fallout Shelter on WUML 91.5FM. Darkwoods will be playing a set at 930pm with the best in undergound music before and after the set as well as an interview with the band. You can listen to the show online at http://www.wuml.org
