New Favorite CD: Supershine
I’ve been on a bit of a new music quest. I’m getting tiered of my current music collection and need to add some new blood to the mix. I’ve been trying to buy all the Trouble CD’s and managed to pick up three of them (Psalm 9, The Skull, Plastic Green Head). I’ve been watching eBay for the others but every time I do find them – bidding continues to go over and above what I’m willing to spend – even if they are rare/hard-to-find. I also managed to snarf up a few older CD’s I’ve been meaning to pickup; Wish For Eden, Sometime Sunday, and Jacob’s Trouble.
In my search for Trouble CD’s I stumbled upon Supershine; a cross between King’s X and Trouble and that’s exactly what you get. It’s a 2000 release; a collaboration/side-project between Doug Pinnick of King’s X (bass, vocals) and Bruce Franklin of Trouble (guitars). It’s a great listen with a lot of heavy grooves and driving guitars. I think its overall sound/production is similar to King’s X’s Dogman CD; fat and heavy. If you’re into either of those bands, you owe it to yourself and pick it up – got mine for under $5 off Amazon.com.
