Beef Supreme - Royal Bitch EP

royal_bitch_CD_COVER_low-resbeef_supreme_portrait_low_resHappily spinning on my virtual turntable is the almighty Beef Supreme. Did a diddy on them a while back in the form of their S/T digital EP. This time around you get a slightly more polished mix, but with the same driving intesity.  In their bio they're described as "a female fronted Monster Magnet, Beef Supreme plays infectious, groove-oriented stoner metal."  These guys and gal are my favorite rock n roll, HEAVY metal, stoner what-cha-ma-call-it going on right now...like a breath of fresh air in a smog filled world. If the right guy gives this band a listen, Beef Supreme would become a household name amongst people who have good taste in music and like it with a little balls. I can feel my hair growing, even in the places that have gone bald. It's bands like these that make you really appreciate the three piece, there's no extra bullshit, no guy in the band that the rest of the band is covering for.  All three of them add their essential components...fucking rock solid.  Niki has a hell of a set of pipes with the ability to really belt out the notes in a Pat Benatar kind of way, but she's also got the meanness of Joan Jett with the ability to play the hell out of the six string.  I like how she opts for the more soulful bluesy solos as opposed to endless high speed noodling.   Macho takes his four strings and gives a monstrous bottom end to the riffing, while Lou brings it all together with his Bill Ward-esque drumming.  I'm really hoping that through blog driven word of mouth the band finds the success they deserve.  They have a Facebook, a Twitter and a Soundcloud where you can hear that first EP and this one when it comes out on June 4th. For now, here's a tasty taste (just a short clip though, this shit's not out yet)... The Surgeon
