Recommendations on some good RAWK

I'm loving the new (and older) ones by Comets on Fire, Priestess, Slayer and I'm working on Mastodon and Maiden. Would love some recommendations on other bands/records to check out. Doesn't need to be new, but I do want it to rock from front to back. I'm training pretty hard for a race and I need some music that doesn't let up.

Recommendations?
Thanks!

One of my favorites…white trash, fist-pumping, serious drinking music:

or if you need something a little heavier:

To me Helmet always sounded like a beat-up car with its muffler gone. Awesome.

One more, for good measure: <img src="http://eil.com/newgallery/Kyuss-Blues-For-The-Red-284124.jpg" alt=" - " />

kyuss is essential if you don't have them already.

for fist-pumping, adrenalized ac/dc-type rawk, check out alabama thunderpussy, orange goblin, RPG, bible of the devil, the last vegas, speedealer, and zeke.

for heavier, sludgier, doomier metal, check out dixie witch, beaten back to pure, valkyrie, earthride, the hidden hand, acid king, big business, black cobra, cavity, floor, and dove.

i could go on and on, depends on what type of rawk you prefer…

Listen to CLUTCH.

Hands down the best rock band in the universe.

How about Camera Obscura. The rock.

hey snail, did you book the dixie witch show at the velvet in november?

Burning Brides
Icarus Line
The D4

mastodon's new album is brilliant.
High on Fire's Blessed black wings will definitely get you moving.

Not really traditional rock in the guitar bass drums sense……but it's heavy and it freakin rocks. A few songs from it are in my running playlist.

Great responses, thanks very much. And I'll surely check out any others that come in.

Man, seeing that Paw cover brings back the memories. I loved that album, but somehow it slipped away. Same with Meantime and Ask Questions Later.

Am going to pick up that Kyuss album tonight after work. Good call there. I might grab Meantime and Penance Soiree as well.

Have got both Burning Brides and have played them to death.

What's a good Clutch to start out with?

Isn't Camera Obscura a Belle & Sebastian off-shoot?

Snailhook, I've copied your whole post into a word document and when I have time to kick back with some relaxants, will start exploring them, as I haven't heard of most.

Am still trying to get into Mastodon, and it's not for lack of trying. I like it, but after six or seven straight-through spins, I can't recall a single tune. I never really got into Leviathan either.

i did book dixie witch at the velvet in november.

also check out boris, sleep, and…

the mighty HIGH RISE! (japanese psych that is the perfect combination of motorhead, blue cheer, and hendrix)

Paw brings back memories of the old club for me. I think it was Grant Fitch who at one point took off his guitar and went crowdsurfing. I think at one point they took out a bunch of lighter fluid and set the drums on fire. That was a wild show.

For what race are you training?

Ramones

How about John Mayer. The rock.

doesn't totally fit in w/the rest of the stuff mentioned on here, but for someone like me who is barely capable of rocking – let alone RAWKing – when the mood hits i usually reach for mclusky. particularly "mclusky do dallas."

The Jim Carroll Band
FEAR
Nirvana
Cheap Trick
Hawkwind
Godfathers
Iggy Pop

hawkwind is indeed great driving/running music. i'm trying to get them booked at rock and roll hotel in january…if the gods will give me enough money.

Do you have any idea on the lineup? Will it be Brock/Turner?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is rock and roll hotel? Is it that house where you feature acts?

nah, my house is 611 florida. too small for hawkwind-related acts.

the rock and roll hotel is the new venue on h street, capacity 300.

not sure who is in the current line-up, but brock is definitely in and turner is definitely not. probably richard chadwick, who has drummed for them for the past 20 or so years.
