Andy Gronberg is the host of Andy’s Attic on CIVL and, let’s just say, his taste of music encompasses many different genres.
Rattus – “Reaganin Joululahja”
Rattus is a hardcore punk band from Finland and my favourite era is from their mid-eighties period. “Reaganin Joululahja” (translates to “Reagan’s Christmas Present”) is an angry and fast piece of D-beat hardcore.
Slayer – “Reborn”
Slayer has been one of my favourite bands for over 25 years. Reign in Blood is arguably one of the best albums of all time of any genre. I had to listen to this album several times to find my pick. This album defines thrash metal but “Reborn” nails it down perfectly!
Johnny Cash – “Sunday Morning Coming Down”
“Sunday Morning Coming Down” is an emotionally filled tune about waking up both lonely and hung over. I can never get enough of this song.
Ned Landry – “Bowing the Strings”
“Bowing the Strings” is a fiddle tune that I hear covered endlessly. Why? Because it’s a very upbeat, expressive and catchy tune. From New Brunswick, Ned is still playing his fiddle well into his nineties!
