    Rap Metal's Not Dead

    Got a cool matinee show in Brooklyn this Saturday, if anyone's in the area. New jams are mixed and mastered, and the brand new 9 to 5 or .45 video is halfway done. Can't wait for all of you to hear/see what we've been working on! https://www.facebook.com/events/817010611718135/

    Finished recording 2 new jams. We've been getting some awesome mixes back, and hope to shoot a video in a few weeks. Also, I know there's a few NYers who have posted, so for anyone in the area - we've recently announced a show at East Islip Lanes, for their Spring Fling Fest. $12 gets you free...

    Just bumping this one more time before we head into the studio again this weekend to churn out some new shit for everyone. In the meantime, here's our intro track, for those of you who've dug Boomside. Bigtime thanks again to everyone for listening and giving us an honest chance...

    That's awesome, man! Glad it reeled you in enough to check it out and that you were digging it. I saw Emperor at BB King's in NYC way back when and it was pretty incredible. Love those guys. As for BC - I had very, very low expectations for the new Body Count, and I was very, very surprised...

    I can feel that. We've considered tuning lower, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen soon. Although, tuning wise and tonally, we'd rather default to the hardcore side of the spectrum rather than risk getting into once-trendy, super down-tuned, rapcore territory. We'll see what the...

    Thanks, man. We recorded that shit in a garage and just gave the dude a case of beer every time we showed up. I definitely agree that it's on the rough side. Hopefully Ice-T will hear this shit and get us signed to Sumerian so we can record something dope, and of course tour with Body Count...

    Thank you so much, guys, truly. We're always stoked to have people pick up on the more "classic" hardcore influence we've got in the mix! Our guitarist is definitely pretty big into stuff like Madball, but for me, E-Town was the band I thought of when he had the idea for this band. He saw my...

    Brentwood / Central Islip, mainly, but we're kind of spread out across the island at the moment. Where we grew up, there's this not so baller apartment complex where you could go day or night, in the sunshine or driving rain, and get whatever you needed. Coke, smoke, crack, smack, girls...

    Thanks man! Here's some live footage from our first show back in December. We've gotten a lot tighter since then, but I think it showcases our energy well! We're heading back into the studio soon to put the finishing touches on this song, then we hope to shoot a music video for it. We're all...

    I could see that being pretty cool. We have about 5 songs mostly done right now (3 recorded, going in to finish the 4th in Feb.) but we're trying out lots of interesting things in this newer cluster of songs we're working on. We're actively against falling into the trap of rapped verses and...

    Hell yeah, man! There's room for everyone at the party! Do your thing, ain't gonna get any hate from me!

    Although the influence wasn't super intentional in that part, I Am The Black Wizards by Emperor is one of my favorite black metal songs ever.

    Cool to see someone mention those guys. My old band Domain played with them at The King's Club on Route 25 back in 2001 or 2002. They're a cool band who were very unique and innovated and musically open-minded. I really need to rediscover that band. Candiria was the shit. I gotta be real...

    Thanks man! We're confident in what we're doing, but understand that because it's rap-metal there's bound to be a knee-jerk reaction it, haha. The story of the band is: Me and my brother used to have a big show in our back yard every summer. His Highness Lord Grand Boulevard AKA Bravos...

    Rap Metal's Not Dead

    Some of us haven't been in a band in a while, and we're kind of psyched about this. We're called Boomside (named for a drug-infested low-income housing complex where we're from.) It's four best friends just turnin' up and having fun. I'm generally not into rap metal, mostly because either...
