WORT’s The Mosh Pit

WORT’s Winter Pledge drive kicked off on February 19th and will run until March 4th. This means that The Mosh Pit will have Pledge drive nights on Feb. 20th and Feb. 27th. Please call during the show and pledge! (608 256-2001 or listen to the show for the Toll Free number too.)

Phone pledges can be with a credit card, check, auto-give (payroll deduction through Community Shares) or we can bill you. Any tickets that you receive as a thank you give must have the pledge paid before the event date.

If you’d rather just donate online, you can do so by following this link: https://secure.wort-fm.org/form.html It is a secure web site and perfectly safe to donate online.
If you’ve ever listened to the Mosh Pit before, especually during a pledge drive, you’ll know that we have some special incentives that other shows on WORT do not have. Of course these cater specifically to you, the metal loving audience.

In additon to the Pledge Drive on February 20th, Roadrunner recording artists, Still Remains will be coming into the WORT studio for some live interview/fun. They’ll hang out in the studio for part of the show. Joining them will be members from Metal Blade’s The Red Chord. These bands are playing along with A Dozen Furies and Throwdown at The Loft on East Washington earlier in the evening.

Other Adds: Wicked Wisdom, Betrayer

Not a lot of new stuff this week, and due to the Presidents Day Holiday, some mail delivery is delayed. Also, with the Throwdown / Still Remains / Dozen Furies / Red Chord show at the Loft on Monday, along with a couple of those bands coming into the studio and Pledge Drive…. there won’t be long reviews!

Dryline
Reach For The Surface
Zero Sum
This is pretty much a heavy metalcore release… good production, more on the metal side than metalcore.

Wicked Wisdom
Wicked Wisdom
Suburban Noize
This is Jada Pinkett’s band… finally got the full album, and it’s not too bad. She’s got a great band and it sounds catchy… as many have said before, she is probably the weak spot, as her vocals are just all over the place. But overall, it’s a decent album!

Sinamore
A New Day
Napalm Records
47:47 - 10 Tracks
Clean vocals, melodic guitars, not real heavy, the music is a little like Amophis, but a bit more simple. I guess it has a bit of a Moonspell vibe, but again, not as heavy or aggressive. It’s okay, but nothing we’re jumping over ourselves to play.

One Dead Three Wounded
Paint The Town
1 x 1 Music
36:42 - 12 Tracks
Yet another aggressive, in-your-face metalcore release. I can’t say there’s much in the way of groundbreaking here. It’s heavy, aggressive, some catchy stuff. They don’t seem to get into any of the sing-a-long whiney choruses… so it’s got that going for it. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit… and of course… call or email if you like it!

The new Nebula CD was also a new release slated for this week, but it’s not here yet.
