Drummer Spotlight with Matt Covey @shaihulud @mattcoveydrums @thesuicidedolls @thehempsteadys
Why do drummers have lots of kids?
They’re not too good at the Rhythm Method.
Drummers always get a bum rap. Why is that? Ever seen a good band with a shitty drummer? No. Know why? BECAUSE THEY DON’T FUCKING EXIST.
Drummers rule! We hit stuff, get peoples’ butts shaking, and ultimately determine whether or not the band is going to perform well. You CANNOT have a solid band without a solid drummer, so all you 6-string wankers out there with your tapping and flooded solos can suck it… This one is for the hitters.
Today, I bring you our own occasional contributor and Shai Hulud hitter (you’re welcome) Matt Covey, a great friend and total pro behind the kit.
Review of FALL CITY FALL’s Victus album; Dropping 1/22/13 on Victory Records
Here’s one from Lord Covey before he hit the road with Shai Hulud. VICTUS is dropping on 1/22 via Victory Records, so cop it when it hits, or go pre-order it NOW for special deals and packages. Kudos, Calgary!
Fall City Fall – Victus (Victory Records)
The first full-length album from Calgary-based Fall City Fall, Victus, is billed by Victory Records as a truly boundary-pushing hardcore record. So, I was a bit skeptical when the record opens with a kinda standard-issue slowmotional hardcore intro song. But by the time the second tune, “Dissentipede,” gets going, it’s clear there is a bigger plan at work in FCF’s writing. In the first couple minutes, they slickly pull off a plot that feels distinctly like the layered reveal of a “monster next door” villain in a murder mystery…and you’ve realized just a little too late.
SICK OF IT ALL added as Special Guest to REV 25 in NYC NEXT WEEK!
Pulling no punches to make the event complete insanity, none other than NYHC Legends SICK OF IT ALL are the special guest at Night 2 of Revelation Records 25 Anniversary show next week at Irving Plaza.
It’s Clobberin’ Time!

New Shai Hulud Album to feature Chad Gilbert; Playing Rev 25 in NYC 10/13
An out of control lineup just got even better, as original singer and current New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert is once again back with Shai Hulud for their new album on Metal Blade Records. He’ll also be the singer for REV 25 in NYC next month… Nuts!
