Load. God I love this band. I fell in love the second I heard "Bolt Of Lead" on the Six Pack To Go comp.
They never really escaped the confines of South Florida, and that's a shame, but those who know, know. They had a legit all-time great vocalist in Bobby Load, and plain old nasty rhythm section. Load is hard to describe, they're Southern, mean, fast-but-sludgy, dangerous, teetering on mayhem. It's basically fighting music, but not in the meathead sense.
Load lived like they sound. Bobby Load died in 2012, Jeff Tucci in 2014. Knowing how the story played out complicates listening to Load nowadays, but their sheer power always wins out. You can watch the history of Load in this free documentary.
Great, great, underappreciated band.

What a find. Never heard of them before today. Definitely not the most heartwarming doc, but interesting and entertaining. They remind me a lot of RKL...? Thanks for sharing.
