Lightning Bolt - "Ride The Skies"



Lightning Bolt isn't for everyone. The Providence duo has been banging out their style of music since 1994. I say 'their style' because there is no genre label that adequately describes what they do. I've seen them tagged with everything from hardcore to noise punk to drum & bass, none of which sufficiently express their style.

Naturally, much of their uniqueness come from the fact that they are a two-man wrecking crew of drummer Brian Chippendale's ridiculously skilled and frenetic beats and Brian Gibson's effects driven bass barrages. Chippendale provides vocals over the chaos.

Check out the video below to hear the title track and get a small sample of their legendary live shows.
