Black Light Burns...

[Dogstar]

Anybody checked these guys out? It includes Wes Borland, Danny Lohner, Jand Josh Freese. Their influences are pretty obvious, but I'm really liking their stuff. It's got tinges of QOTSA, NIN, Bauhaus, APC, you name it. Their album comes out in June, but it leaked already, and I have to say I'm enjoying it. Wes is not too bad as a vocalist. At times he sounds like Josh Homme (especially the first song. It could be a QOTSA song), David Bowie and Peter Murphy all rolled into one. There is some residual nu-metalish vocals, but nothing like Limp Bizkit (THANK GOD). Their live band is a completely different lineup, except for Wes, since Josh is busy touring with NIN and Danny probably has 85 projects going. Anyway, they have a myspace and you might want to check them out.
