Cowboys & Aliens - Sandpaper Blues Knockout (2012) Review

-













Back after 6 years & stronger than ever. Belgium's Cowboys & Aliens, one of my guilty pleasures when it comes to dusty stoner/ hard rock. These guys are somewhere between Kyuss & Fu Manchu with their own grooved out dirty looks. After releasing 4 full-length albums between 1997 & 2005, the band called it quits. A sad day for the (quite small) Belgian stoner rock scene. Cowboys & Aliens was one of the reasons I fell in love with the genre, my favorite locals & still highly underrated. Last year, the band announced a new EP to be released early 2012, quite the surprise!



What seemed like the last breath of a once great band turned out to be one hell of a comeback. And I'm serious, Sandpaper Blues Knockout is amongst the best musical achievements this band has put out. It's groovy, catchy & rocks damn hard. You get 4 solid tracks on this one, and they will grow on you like tumbleweed. Compared to the band's older material, this EP is much more varied & accessible while staying warm 'n heavy. It has a really fresh, uptempo atmosphere that I missed for quite some time in my stoner rock. Currently one of the favorites for this year, can't wait for a full-length album with the same vibe; The perfect soundtrack to cruise the desert like a bad son of a bitch...

By Amelia Proud PDA: Eddie and Leann cuddled up and she also played with Brandi's younger boy at the match in LA today Leann Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian engaged in an over the top display of affection at his son Mason's soccer game today... just yards from his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. The star of the 39-year-old Real Housewife of Beverly Hills had to look on as Leann, 29 , indulged in affectionate horseplay with Cibrian, and larked around with her two boys. The two had a bitter divorce battle which still rages on over custody issues. Brandi sat with her back to Leann for the entire game, the two never exchanged a single word and an tension was palpable between them according to sources.

The singer has recently gushed that she has the perfect life now that she's a wife and stepmother, having l...
