Small World…
As if I don't love music enough, I've decided that it's a good idea that I continue to expand my music library. Last week, I was listening to last.fm's radio for the tag "stoner rock", and I came across two great bands. Those being Greenleaf and Alabama Thunderpussy. I forgot all about those bands until today. Today, I was linked to another Stoner Metal band, Novadriver, and I decided to look around to see if I couldn't purchase FLAC version of their albums, rather than have to buy the physical CD. Well, I couldn't, but I did start browsing their record label's site.
Interestingly enough, their record label is in Detroit. That intrigued me, so I started to browse through their list of bands. Low and behold, there was Greenleaf. This shocked me and pleased me at the same time. I continue to browse, and then I find that the label also represents Alabama Thunderpussy's side projects. The fact that I would find myself introduced to these two bands again in a roundabout way just made me realize just how small this world is for them to all be a part of the same record label. I was pleasantly surprised, now that I can get their music locally. 
Anyway, as I was looking through the rest of the label's bands, and it took me a while before I found a band that I didn't like. At the end of searching for the bands on MySpace, I was able to find all but one or two bands. I ended up adding 25 bands, 23 newly discovered today, and Greenleaf and ATP. For one day's browsing, I managed to bag 23 new bands to listen to. There were a couple others, but they were disbanded, so I decided to skip over them for now.
It's great to know that there are still great bands out there performing today with a lot of the Classic Rock elements of yesterday that I love. There's hope for music yet! As long as they don't hit the mainstream, their sound shouldn't be perverted. I swear, rock at its finest is when the band is still undiscovered and you're one of the few thousand that actually know about the band.
If you're interested in the record label that I fell in love with today, they are Small Stone Records. You can find most of the bands on MySpace by either searching for their MySpace links on MySpace, or a couple you may have to find that (Glasspack, to be exact) through Google, but it is possible. I may edit this later and add in the list of 25 bands that I found their MySpace's for that I like. Until then, you're on your own, people.
