Welcome to another installment of the Top 5 on Friday. This week, I will be discussing five albums that were released between 2004-2008 that were excellent, in my opinion, but overlooked or simply forgotten. Again, the order of the five is difficult to place but I believe my number one spot is solid. These are albums that are not really...
About a month ago, I posted part 1 of this series (check it out here). I am continuously discovering new bands and artists from doing this blog. I have never found so many new and unique bands in my life until I decided to do the Jam Yeti Music Blog. I am constantly searching for bands that I like and...
Welcome back to another Top 5 On Friday! This week, I will cover my top five favorite riff rock bands that only released two full length albums. In most of these cases, tragedy struck and a band member passed away, which ultimately led the band to break up. After researching the band list for this post, it was quite difficult...

Welcome to the new Top 5 on Friday post! Every Friday I will feature a top five of my favorite music related topics. I am starting things off with my top five favorite rock albums of 2023. It’s very difficult at times for me to choose my favorite albums because the list can change periodically. For instance, my number three...
I first discovered Karma To Burn from the long defunct stoner rock dot com website. The site had a mp3 jukebox for all the bands they were selling for their All That’s Heavy distribution store. Every record they sold had a sample song you could listen to, to check out new bands and records. I discovered so many bands from...
Exactly one year ago, Greenville, South Carolina/ Richmond, Virginia heavy rockers, Throttlerod unearthed these two songs from the Hell And High Water demos. These songs were recorded in 2002 at Glass Hand Studios before the official recording of Hell And High Water. The tracks sat forgotten for over twenty years until they were recovered in late 2022. The band found...
When my son was born in 2008, I always had rock music playing in his presence (well, almost always). Every time he was in my truck, there was music playing. The music he was exposed to the most was stoner rock, without question. The bands I had playing in my truck when he was four or five years old were:...
I started preparing for the Jam Yeti Music Blog several months ago. I was writing a bunch of reviews trying to build content for the site before I actually launched it. A lot of the band information was coming from several record labels’ BandCamp pages. The main labels I follow are: Ripple Music, Heavy Psych Sounds, Blues Funeral Recordings, Small...
I officially started the Jam Yeti Music Blog on September 3rd, 2024. I began writing album reviews a few months earlier in June but I had to figure out how to create this blog and format it to be user friendly. My intention is to make it easy to navigate from a mobile phone and set up menus and a...
