Gift From Me To You Series

Gruvis Malt gets a fair few plays by me, a really cool blend of styles with a mellow vibe.
I've been a bit lazy since then, although Warsawpack has always been on my mind, and that video you just posted was so awesome that I was startled into downloading it on the spot.

I can always count on you to point me towards good hip hop, so those entries will always get the most attention from me. The other genres you've been upping haven't quite appealed to me as much. But at some point in time I'll have to dive into Gothic Country because it sounds pretty cool.

I'm glad Gruvis Malt and WarsawpacK are agreeing with you. As far as the Gothic Country is concerned, I would suggest going back in my Gothic Country thread to the beginning, I've been adding to it ever since, but I don't really think it's been catching anyone's attention

I'm doing a massive Gothic Country upload this week, so if you're interested I can just give you the link to my folder and you can download at your own discretion.

Yes, yes, yes. Pobodys the guy that will point you in the right direction here. I've yet to pick up where I left off, but I'll be hittin' up his G.C thread very soon here.

I have a few bands that I need to add to it, however I need to get the videos up first as the ones available on youtube aren't that great quality.

Out of all of them, I'm loving WarsawpacK.

Thanks for this, man.

I haven't listened to any of them yet but don't take it personally. I always have tons of stuff to get through and I eventually will.

LoathsomePete · 06-11-2009, 01:28 PM

Tis alright my man, I know you're a busy man. If you could somehow make listening to all the new music you get into a full time job you'd be set for life.

I did give Gruvis Malt a quick listen a little while ago and I am listening now. It's not awful at all and quite mellow but I'm finding it TOO smooth and a little bland personally. When it comes to Hip Hop I either generally like a beat heavy sound with emphasis on bass lines or a funky undertow so this doesn't really do either for me.

Artist: Rehab
Album: Graffiti The World
Year: 2005

About this time last year (it was actually July) I received this album in my inbox on another music forum with absolutely no previous experience with this group. When I read that they were a rap/rock band I immediately put on my skepticism pants and prepared myself for yet another group vainly trying to produce the same sound and style as Korn or Limp Bizkit. However it turns out I prepared myself for nothing because this is by far one the best album of that genre. Now I know what you're saying "it's not really hard to improve on shit" but not only do these guys prove that rap/rock can be a good genre, but they blow some other live band hip hop groups out of the water. Many of their songs deal with, you guessed it, rehabilitation from drug and alcohol abuse, in which the three founding members Steaknife, Danny Alexander, and Brooks Buford met at a rehab center and combined their love of hip hop and rock music. Since then they have released two studio albums "Southern Discomfort" in 2000 and "Graffiti The World" in 2005, later re-releasing it in 2008 with two new songs and an updated version of their hit song "Sittin' At A Bar". The version I'm giving you is their original 2005 one, because I felt the songs that they replaced were incredibly good, and did not deserve to be bumped off the album, also the updated version of "Sittin' At A Bar" while good, isn't as good as the original found on their 2000 release "Southern Discomfort". So sit back and enjoy the sounds of Rehab one of my favorite Southern groups.
