A Conversation with Frank Bello of Anthrax

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

In early 2016 I conducted my first interview for Cool Try. It was with Frank Bello of Anthrax some time around the release of their 2016 album, For all Kings. The interview ended up going up on the site roughly … Continue reading →

Born Lion: Final Words Review

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I can’t remember at all what this sounds like. I also can’t remember reviewing the album. It’s kind of odd as there are a bunch where I’ve seen the review I’ve written and gone “Oh, I remember covering that”, but … Continue reading →

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead: X: The Godless Void and Other Stories Review

Posted on March 26, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This review took far too long. I’d started it in early February and now here we are. Most of this came together yesterday and this morning. I’d written a number of really rough paragraphs and started reworking those. Aside form … Continue reading →

The Lulu Raes: All our Parents are Divorced Review

Posted on March 24, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Another review far too short. This one really reads too much like a long blurb, I think. There are quite a few of these reviews I wrote for Cool Try where I can’t remember the sound of the release I … Continue reading →

Wild Honey: Wild Honey Review

Posted on March 22, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Another review from the Cool Try days. This one is too short. I touched on things I wanted to, but those things needed significant expanding upon. Once more this is a review that reads far too much like dot points. … Continue reading →

Stuck Out: You Won’t Come Home Review

Posted on March 14, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Here’s a less positive review I wrote for Cool Try where, once more, there isn’t enough detail or description, I think. I think this review would’ve worked better if I had dug deep about what the E.P. was doing and … Continue reading →

Most of MONO

Posted on March 13, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

When I took this shot I decided to see how a slower shutter speed would affect the image. I’d been “experimenting” with slower shutter speeds during one of the supports and had a few shots turn out pretty well so … Continue reading →

Sleight of Hand: Live at The Cambridge Hotel 06.02.2016 Review

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I think I’d been writing for Cool Try for around eight months when I covered this show. Looking over this now makes me feel like I took a step back. It reads a little too much like dot points which … Continue reading →

BATS: Truthless Faithless Review

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Once more, a review from the Cool Try days of my reviewing “career”. I think this one is much more fully formed than some of the others I’ve been sharing. To be fair to some of the other works, this … Continue reading →

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes: Blossom Review

Posted on March 4, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This was my twelfth review for Cool Try. This was written in 2015 but it is only now that I’ve found out that Blossom isn’t a “solo” album. I’m mentioning this as I imply it is with the opening sentence … Continue reading →
