Cognisense by Vie JesterCognisense EP by Vie Jester

On their 2013 debut EP Cognisense, the Southern California trio Vie Jester unleashes an original interpretation of modern hard rock. Using odd timings and progressive grooves under melodic vocals, the group is solid through this four-song EP which never feels stale or formulaic.

Fuel Yer Delusion Vol4 by MuttsFuel Yer Delusion, Vol IV by Mutts

“Praised be delusion!” said Jack Kerouac many years ago. In modern times, Chicago-based funk/jam band Mutts examine the phenomena of “everyone’s a star in the making” on Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4. This fourth album by the band has a Frank Zappa-like quality to complement the fine music.
