GTA San Andreas: K-Rose

K-Rose is a Classic Country station from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, hosted by Mary-Beth Maybell (voiced by Riette Burdick), and based in Bone County (Fort Carson). Mary-Beth has been married numerous times, many of her husbands having died under suspicious circumstances. A few songs tend to stand out among the rest ("Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed, "All My Exes Live In Texas" by Whitey Shafer). This music is perfect for sitting on the porch on a calm, warm summer day with a lit cigarette in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other. Or, driving that trusty old Ford truck down that long vacant country road on the way to pick up your woman. Relaxing tunes make for a comfortable atmosphere.

Beast In The Field - Goat Isle Séance

Hailing from Michigan, Beast in the Field consists of just one guitarist (Jordan Pries) and one drummer (Jamie Jahr), and these two are able to make quite a lot of noise between them. Goat Isle Séance, their debut release, features massive, feedback-drenched riffs and rhythms, delivered in two styles: full-on gallop, and slow, doomy crawl. The recording sounds appropriately ragged and bludgeoning, done old-skool analog in the studio (making best use of the vintage Sunn, Orange and Sound City amps and classic Ludwig drum kit, for those of you keeping score).



1. Deep In The Caves (5:29)
2. Breath Of The... (6:10)
3. Discovered: The Large Iron Core (9:03)
4. Upon The Hard (7:43)
5. Moth Amigo (3:52)
6. Goat Isle Seance (12:22)

Sea of Green - Northern Lights

Sea of Green was a Toronto-based rock band combining elements of metal and psychedelia into their sound. The band was formed in 1999 by Travis Cardinal, Eric Kuthe on bass, and Chris Bender. Due to obvious drug references in many of their lyrics, Sea of Green are largely classified as Stoner Rock. They released their first EP, Northern Lights, on the Music Cartel label in July of 2000. In 2004, the band broke up amidst long-standing difficulties with their record label.


1. Move The Mountains (5:03)
2. Look To The Sky (4:24)
3. If You Want My Soul (4:52)
4. Time & Space (3:28)
5. Change With Me (5:45)
6. In the Sun (3:24)
