A Good Rogering

A GOOD ROGERING fuses the heavy-hitting rock of bands like Megadeth, Black Label Society, and Mastodon with the dynamic prowess and eclecticism of those such as Faith No More, Type O Negative, and Clutch. With the release of their debut album Long Overdue in 2010, AGR unloaded a hard, heavy, and uninhibited brand of eclectic rock into the back alleys of the Live Music Capital of the World. Led by vocalist/guitarist Skunk Manhattan, the quartet-turned-trio released their follow-up album Lifeblood in 2013. With the departure of founding member and bassist Aric “Chef” Wright in 2015, the band took a brief hiatus until reforming as a quintet in 2016 and subsequently released This Is Death Metal in 2017. The acoustic-driven introspective “Out of Reach” was released in 2018 followed by the funk-inspired “Mr. Peanut” in 2019. Their latest studio album Systematic Paralysis was released on April 22, 2022.
