Budderside’s Latest Album Lights The Way With A “White Flame”

On July 10th LA rockers Budderside’s third album “White Flame” will be hitting shelves, with a record release party at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood, CA. Teased across multiple singles since 2021, this complete release is extraordinary. Comprised of 12 tracks, the album showcases the band’s showmanship and dedication to rock music.

1.     Good For Nothing

2.     Voices

3.     A Thousand Teardrops

4.     Never Worth It

5.     The Truth

6.     Evol

7.     Joker

8.     Ghostlighting

9.     Black River

10.  Too Far

11.  Ain’t Alright

12.  White Flame

With “Good For Nothing” serving as the album release single and “Voices” as their first single following the 2021 Album “Spiritual Violence,” the band put the crucial singles at the start of the album, and it’s a great choice. Add in the “Never Worth It,” “The Truth,” and “Joker” EPs, and a good chunk of the album has been slowly released over the last three years. Yet, the full album adds enough new music to make it feel complete.

Over the last 30 months or so I’ve drummed along to “Too Far” in the truck, singing about “Standing on a mountain made of gold,” as tropical rains fell on the windshield. I’ve listened in honor to “Joker” while waiting for my plane to land. Suffice to say, I’ve been anxious for the full album.

“White Flame” is a pure rock album. Complete and well-balanced, it’s one of the very few albums I can put on and play from start to finish and not skip a track. Given the genius of their work over the first two albums, it’s not a shocker.

Comprised of Vocalist Patrick Alan Stone, Guitarists Sam Bam Koltun and Logan Nikolic, and Drummer Jeff Dewbray, the quartet was signed to Motorhead Music by the legendary Lemmy Kilmister himself. Obviously, the God of Metal makes no mistakes, as this album is a shining example of his brilliance in recognizing talent.
