Who better to dissect "pits" then a man who's seen them all? Trapped Under Ice is my favorite band to come along in the past couple years, and Sam is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. -Doug
Before I begin, I’d like to take a second to talk about something more important than pitting, riffing, or pit riffing. And that is the psychology behind how we put these lists together in the first place. What drives someone to make the choices they make? Often in the face of scrutinizing peers, we struggle to construct a list that might make us sound a little more…well-informed. Like we really know what we’re talking about. Or, maybe worse, we reach for obscure references to avoid the beaten path. To avoid the obvious choices.
This list was not created to impress. We’re talking about pit riffs. This is about getting in the fucking pit. This is not the result of some personal struggle to make people think I know what I’m talking about. Because if you want to jibber jabber about this record, that record, this year, that singer, this city, you obviously don’t fucking pit.
