Virally Affected: Bands Of The Heavy Underground – April 25th, 2020

Article By: Leanne Ridgeway, Owner/Chief Editor

The current covid-19 / coronavirus / novel coronavirus / ‘rona / bugstorm (take your pick, just wash your damned hands) pandemic effects have dealt a crushing blow to a majority of the world in many ways, none of them good. Everyone is affected in some way, and many who’ve primarily earned their keep from the music world are hit especially hard.

We’ve started a few things to highlight those bands still trying to get their music to those who seek it. Along with our regular articles and reviews, our new series of ongoing “Gear Assembly” interview articles, as well as random Twitter shoutouts of bands’ Spotify albums, I’m introducing other “Virally Affected” bands with this series here.

This includes a running list of heavy genre bands impacted by tour cancellations or release delays, with social media and merch links, plus an audio stream of a recent release. Some have asked for a little help, some we’ve learned about on our own. The list is in order of when we became aware of their plight (not alphabetical). The plan is to continue this weekly, until tours and live shows start up again. Ideally, this won’t last long…

There’s also a growing Spotify playlist embedded at the bottom, which includes all the bands listed here, plus many more. Hopefully it brings some awareness to the bands and their music. Listen, follow, share, grab merch, or all of the above…
