BangShift Tune-Up: Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, “S.O.B.” (2015)
January is a build month for gearheads here in North America. Garages all over have cars torn apart, with the smell of WD-40, Brake-Kleen and grease hanging in the air. Whether you are catching up on...
BangShift Tune-Up: “45” by The Gaslight Anthem (2012)
Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean that it’s a time to slow down and retreat into hibernation. If anything, now is the time to double down and prepare for the fun you want to...
BangShift Daily Tuneup: Beach Boys Shut Down Is An Old School Street Race Anthem
If you are over the age of 40 or 45, and a hot rodder, you know that the 1960’s weren’t just about the cars themselves but also about all the culture surrounding them. There were tons of...
BS Tune-Up: “Propane Nightmares” by Pendulum (2008) – Plus Supersonic Bombers!

BangShift Tune-Up: “Rolling” by Soul Coughing (1998)

BangShift Tune-Up: “Good To Be Me” by Uncle Kracker (2010)
For this Tune-Up, I’m reaching back a few years to a favorite of mine. This video is the reason why I want a T-top Cutlass alone. Why? Mellow beat, mellow lyrics, and a reminder on why just...
BangShift Tune-Up: “Electric Worry” by Clutch (2007)
The weekend is here, finally. There are projects to get done, places to go travel to, and tires that need to be punished. We know it’s been a long week, so let’s start things off right...
BangShift Tune-Up: “My Favourite Game” By The Cardigans (1998)

Headbanging And Carnage: Check Out “The Sound And Fury”, The Behind-The-Scenes Look At RJ Anderson’s XP1K3 Video!
RJ Anderson is an off-roading badass. We saw him romp at Red Bull Frozen Rush in a full-size truck, but his specialty is making Polaris RZRs do things that the company never, ever saw...
In Memoriam: Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, Cornerstone Of The Band Motörhead, Has Passed On
