In case you've been hiding in a cave this past month with plugs lodged in your ears, you may not have heard that the mighty Lightning Bolt have once again unleashed their thunderous roar upon the world with a brand new album, Earthly Delights (TMT Review).

It was mid-August when we announced the long-awaited return of Rhode Island duo Lightning Bolt in the form of their four-year in the making record 'Earthly Delights'. With that L. P now fully released in North America as of yesterday and just five days away from full release here in Europe (it's due October 19th) the band are now gearing up to promote the new release with a tour of the UK in D..

When I went to FYF Fest a couple weeks back, one band I was dying to see was Providence, Rhode Island duo, Lightning Bolt. Brian Gippendale (drums and vocals) along with Brian Chibson (bass) make up the masked duo, one of the craziest groups out there today. I didn’t end up catching their set, but [...]

Hey, remember like a couple weeks ago? A lot was different back then, huh? It was still summer, the world was still reeling with the possibilities of the Pavement reunion... and, of course, we here at TMT dropped the sensational, Pulitzer-worthy news bomb that Rhode Island noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt would be pummeling Australia and New Zealand (still as-yet virgins to their visceral live sho...

Earthly Delights is blooming with a riot of colour and sound, even if it does give up its subtler nuances grudgingly. Daniel Marner reviews.

Can Lightning Bolt even make a bad album? Well, I suppose if they, I dunno, started sporting J Crew, ripped off Paul Simon’s whiteboy Afrobeat, and wrote a concept album about how rad their dad’s Cape Cod estate is, sure, that would be relatively gnarly. But worry not, this is Providence-reared, Load-loyal Lightning Bolt – [...]

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain (Load Records)Lightning Bolt's 2003 album Wonderful Rainbow just kept getting bigger and bigger, like a 16-ton amplifier falling out of the noon sky. Its bass tone squashed round heads into wrecked ellipses, and the drums chattered away as if on a chain drive. The album was the opposite of Excedrin, a tension headache in ten movements. Lightning Bolt have do...

for the past few weeks ive been into a lot of mellow music that chills me out (i.e. thelonious monk, portishead, animal collective, massive attack), but i woke up this morning wanting to hear some heavier repititious rocking: stoner rock, if you like. so i put on lightning bolt's hypermagic mountain, and let me say that this album is sick. the ever-intensifying guitar riffs and frantic drumming ju

at http://www.noiseforobama.org Those of us in the underground/DIY arts need to consider what is important for the future of the US just as much as any other citizen. A climate of tolerance, a strong economy, and a world that inspires us to do greater things are all things that make it easier to be a noise artist. A vote for Barack Obama will encourage these things. This website collects state...
