Checkout this review of my new favorite badass album from Fist Fight in the Parking Lot:
Valley of Steel | Out Today: Fist Fight in the Parking Lot – Self-Titled
Eric’s got a cool blog, a good ear, a great site, and a cool name. Why wouldn’t we value his opinions? Read that, then buy the disc. Buy a download & a CD like me. Buy a copy for a friend.
I’ve been listening today & I really dig it. It’s very Sabbath & Sword-like to my ears… it’s got metal, rock, groove, and a great feel. My head couldn’t decide whether to bob or bang.
Also, they’re all just really cool people. Congratulations to them for crafting such a great disc, & to everyone who helped them get it together & push it out there.
This is the kind of band I’m glad to have represent Pittsburgh, unlike some others I won’t mention. They’re getting mad press lately. Are they the saviors of the Pittsburgh Rock scene? Listen to the album & you decide.

TWO ears, as a matter of fact. I’m making no claims as to how ‘good’ either of them are, but I just didn’t want people to start thinking of me as the Van Gough of music journalism.
Aside from that, thanks a million for spreading the word. A big reason why I started doing what I’m doing was to try and attract some attention to some of the hidden gems we’ve got locally, and of course I appreciate any support along those lines!

Glad you have a site to get the word out. When you’re in a band, it’s hard to contain pimping yourself… it comes across better when other people are saying you’re worth listening to. Ha ha.
I hope FFITPL gets a tidal wave of attention off of this disc, they deserve it!
