Sometimes this ride I am on for S&S is just too cool for words. Yes, I get to meet porn stars, see movies well before any of you and listen to some great music. I recently had occasion to meet Kevin Jardine and Jason Rockman of the band Slaves on Dope (check out my review of their new CD here, it’s killer) and a legend who happened to collaborate on one of the songs on their new release, none other than Daryl McDaniels, ex of Run DMC. A nicer, more informed and informative trio you’re never going to meet

A straight-ahead slapping snare with swelling guitar distortion flowing into a roiling quick riff opens the opener “Electric Cool Aid,” from Slaves On Dope’s latest HORSE. Formed in 1993 by Jason Rockman and Kevin Jardine in Montreal (Québec), Slaves On Dope has been around, through up and down in their day from signing to Ozzy Osbourne’s Divine Recordings, playing Ozzfest and SnoCore, suffering personnel changes, record companies dissolutions. Now 23 years after all the madness began for this band, they are back with their new album, HORSE, featuring some stellar guest stars.
