While we hate to draw attention to hate groups that obviously seek it, music fans deserve to know that the lovely people at the infamous Westboro Baptist Church has stated intentions to picket at the funeral of Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman in a recent tweet:
Hanneman passed away this past Thursday due to liver failure. He was 49 years old.
Do you guys remember when Flogging Molly put out music that made you want to dance a jig and mosh at the same time? Fast and aggressive enough to satisfy your rebellious soul yet folky enough to provide a depth sometimes lacking in more traditional punk rock? Those were the days. And I thought they were over until I stumbled across The Killigans. Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska of all places, this six-some channel folk-punk as if they were spawned from the back of a gypsy caravan in the heart of the Old Country. Playing together since 2004, how they escaped my notice until now is beyond me, but let's not dwell on that. What's important is that they just released a new full-length titled "Dance On Your Grave" and I'm here today to tell you it is well worth a listen. Do so here.
