Acid Bath by Jessica Moncrief

Acid Bath at Hollywood Palladium: Venus Blues and Bayou Sludge

Acid Bath was the one band no one thought would ever reunite. They were a flash in the pan at one point, considered a glitch in heavy metal history—yet simultaneously, they were the band everyone wanted to be and emulate, the band that inspired subgenres from the edges of extremity

Glass Beams at Ventura Music Hall: Desert in a Bottle

This has been a psychedelic week for me, still feeling the afterglow of seeing Pigs x7, so before I could enter this new trip closer to home, I needed to sober up off the lingering sonic buzz. I wanted to clear out the leftover distortion rattling in my head so
