	Sorry Eric, not totally digging the new tunes.... I respect your work though.

	I would rather listen to this than the crap that Trouble is putting out with Kory Clarke. Eric is the only person who can and should sing for Trouble.

	Earthen Grave is a cool band, but that song by Eric's band is horrible. If you'd rather listen to that than Trouble, you have some serious problems with your ears.

	Is this guy like a descendant of Richard Wagner?

	Sounds like a cool show. Eric = forever the voice of Trouble.

	COMMENT \| Sounds like mellow Trouble... posted by : epac 11/21/2009 8:08:39 PM

	...ala Misery Shows Pt II or Rain... Agreed Eric is forever the voice of Trouble. I'm so glad I saw them live before he split. They were great. New music ("Dark Riff") sounds great, but Kory Clarke is horrendous. The pro-tools programmer will need to put in a lot of OT on this...

	the new tunes are pretty cool. if thats not enough, they perform a couple of trouble tunes, lid material, and have done my tortured soul from the probot project.

	COMMENT \| Blackfinger are heavy live posted by : Muxlow 11/23/2009 1:02:13 AM

	I play guitar in Earthen Grave and we opened for Blackfinger over the summer. I went in with much the same impression as some of the comments above, that it was whimpy stoner Beatles thing. What they played that night was heavy as shit and the overwhelming take-away from the show was "Wow, Blackfinger were heavy." Heard that many times from people in the days after. I don't know the band or what they're up to now or what they'll play at Vnuk's, but they certainly weren't screwing around that night.

	Saw Blackfinger at Vnuk's Saturday night and they are heavy as sh*t. I was very impressed with the band Eric has put together. Eric sounded great, the band is tight and rips real nice. I was also impressed with Earthen Grave. The singer has a great voice, they are pretty heavy as well with a unique sound from the violin virtuoso. Great night of music, wish more people would have checked it out, well worth a look on both counts. Blackfinger and Earthen Grave bring it.
