Today, HELLS HEADBANGERS announces March 19th as the international release date for SATANIC THREAT's In to Hell, on both CD and LP formats. Featuring current members of Nunslaughter and an ex-member of Midnight, SATANIC THREAT are everything their name implies: fast, blasphemous, hardcore-HELL-punk straight outta the wastelands of Ohio! Originally released in 2008, SATANIC THREAT's lone In To Hell 7" sold through its original pressing of 1000 copies in no time flat, and quickly became something of a mini-classic. The band's cult grew despite no further releases, and SATANIC THREAT played only one live show ever, in September 2008 in their hometown of Cleveland. Now, HELLS HEADBANGERS collects SATANIC THREAT's entire ouvre, both the 8-song In To Hell 7" and their 8-song live set, onto one long-playing format. They're not Christian...they're just a SATANIC THREAT! Tracklisting and cover (also attached) are as follows:

1. Guilty of Hating Christ
2. He's on the Cross
3. Small God, Big Cross
4. Satanic Threat
5. I Ain't Gotta Worship
6. Being Black
7. Cursing At The Cross
8. Don't Follow Him
9. He's On The Cross (live)
10. Small God, Big Cross (live)
11. Satanic Threat (live)
12. I Ain't Gotta Worship (live)
13. Being Black (live)
14. Cursing At The Cross (live)
15. Don't Follow Him (live)
16. Steppin' Stone (live)

xxp that's great

wish satanic threat had a song called "guilty of being cross"

Hey all, I'm new to the thread, so not sure if it's up your collective alley (and a few searches turned up no mentions of these guys anywhere on ILM) but I'm loving this recent discovery, band out of Detroit called the Armed. Some Converge vibes in intensity level especially, but a bit more straight-up hardcore:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aomnf17g_lg

Released in 2012, but like mid-December, so only fair to wedge it into rolling 2013. All of their releases are available on their website for free lossless (!) download: thearmed.com

detroit madmen child bite rolled thru town last night. weird mix of stooges/mc5 bluster, dischord style math rock, and good old spazzout spazziness. worth checking out if they come to your burg.

also 3 piece tinsel teeth dinner still kicks like a methed out mule fyi and btw

since chr1s won't post this...new STNNNG, recorded w/albini, mastered at abbey road

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc7AZMOO35Q&sns=fb

cool

just taking advantage of Sorry State Records sticking everything on their bandcamp and in doing so vibing to ROUGH KIDS - I believe they're from Chapel Hill - UK 77/NYC 76 (ish)/powerpop done perfectly - below seems p reasonable

Building on the sound of their previous two singles, LA's Rough Kids polish things up for their debut full-length on Sorry State. Benefitting from a bigger, more ambitious sound (including a punchy mastering job by Dave Rahn from the Carbonas), Rough Kids trade in classic punk hooks delivered with an intensity that will snare even the toughest hardcore kids. Lovers of '77 punk will flip for the sick Johnny Thunders licks, fans of modern bands like No Hope for the Kids and the Observers will love the big, dark vocal hooks, and the hardcore kids will bang their first the entire time. A truly outstanding collection of songs.

weakwick, kinda noise assault stuff w/bratty punk vox

i need to see stnnng again. last time involved a birthday cake and shenanigans.

is colonel poo still around? I wonder what he'd make of this comp of pvd hardcore bands, sounds like 1986 up in here: http://atomicactionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/v-a-you-cant-kill-me-im-already-dead

I am around but not posting much... thanks for the recommendation, will check it out!

Also psyched for new Hard Skin!

fyi I've been singing your user name to the tune of "dr wu" all week

Just got into Whore Paint. They get a lot of Arab on Radar and Doomsday Student comparisons, but I don't hear it. I think MRR described them best "babes in Toyland meets Christian Death."

Also, drum n bass darlings, Sheeps Head just keep getting better and better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drAu_Pt6MzU

yeah, whore paint's been tearing it up for a couple years now, glad to see they're getting some notice. AoR/doomsday student comparisons are just lazy, I can name bands that sound like AoR (pre, aids wolf) and whore paint ain't one of em. it's fractured surf/garage/hard rock riffs with tribal drums and vocals like a torch singer dropped in a bottomless well. I dug the whore paint single but it didn't fully capture the sweaty muscle of their live sound. they've got a full length in the can that should be out this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35TLwKwwIWE

in other news, caught guerilla toss last night. yeah they're another no wave outfit. but they're great players with an aggressive rock feel, so give em a chance even if you're not down with the herky-jerk. the "singer" will be a dealkiller for many, but the vocals are tightly synced with the music, and it's a neat trick to sound wild and spontaneous on something that's obv well rehearsed. plus they're having a good time at all times. they've got an LP on feeding tube, a tape split with flaming dragons of middle earth, and an upcoming CD on tzadik.

from monday's baltimore show:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji9AEYfN_yI

haha as soon as you said "the singer will be a dealkiller for many" i thought that it would be something i'd be into. She's kinda somewhere in between Christy from K.I.T. and the woman from Ponytail.

yeah it's right up yr alley. I picked up a tape from them called gorilla tease. good shit.

new EP by INSERVIBLES out of Mexico is great and ridiculous. the guitars are almost like some freeform psych thing played w/ the intensity of like Void. you can download it on the link above btw I think

got some questions for you guys...

are there what is i guess derisively called "p.c. punk" scenes in your cities? what are your experiences with them? what style of music do they tend to gravitate around? have you ever had difficulties booking shows at safe-space/anti-oppresion venues because of the name or lyrical content of bands on the bill? have there been any confrontations between members of the broader punk scene & these scenes?

This was actually released last year but since no one mentioned it then, for fans of noisy-melodic pop-punk, Audacity's Mellow Cruisers is one of the best in the genre since the FM Knives folded.

The Bay Area has a pretty strong scene that could be considered "PC." When I lived up there I went to a lot of shows in that scene. I had a mixed experience with it. First off, I would like to say, almost all of the bands were/are great. The music style tended to shift toward noise, punk, and weird noise punk stuff. Examples would be Sister Fucker, No Babies, Strip Mall Seizures, High Castle, Dadfag, Stillsuit etc. I'm only going to speak of my experiences personally. While I lived in the area, the shows were great, everyone seemed to really get along, and some great music came out of it. After I moved back to Socal, that was around the time the Occupy movement started up, and so a lot of racial and gender related issues were being brought up and discussed. At the time, I had a less than enlightened view on such subjects, and while no malice was intended, I certainly did express some fairly ignorant white-male-hetero-privileged viewpoints. Nothing actually against any group of people, more full on ignorance such as "reverse discrimination" bullshit, taking offense to the idea of shows for marginalized groups only, and not understanding the purpose/function of safe-spaces. Understandably so, I did experience some animosity and extreme backlash, and cut ties with / was cut off from a lot of the bands/people that I admired / respected/ enjoyed hanging out with from that scene. That was a couple years ago, and I have since learned the errors of the ways I used to think, and have gained some more cultural perspective, so in a sense it was kind of a good thing that it happened. I do truly regret some of the views that I espoused at the time, and it is a shame that I lost touch with so many people because of it, but at the same time I am a little grateful that it happened, because it definitely did get me thinking about my own privileged mindset. While I can't say I totally "get" or "understand" the struggles of people of color, women, or the LGBTQ community, as I don't know what it is actually like to be a member of an oppressed group, I definitely have gained more empathy and perspective on the matter.

killer song: Bed Wettin' Bad Boys - Bite My Tongue

new EP by INSERVIBLES out of Mexico is great and ridiculous. the guitars are almost like some freeform psych thing played w/ the intensity of like Void. you can download it on the link above btw I think

Wow. Shit's crazy, I can't decide of I'm really hearing a Bone Awl/Akitsa influence there or it's just the filthy production.

have you ever had difficulties booking shows at safe-space/anti-oppresion venues because of the name or lyrical content of bands on the bill? have there been any confrontations between members of the broader punk scene & these scenes?

nice response by izzy pod. these types of things flare up from time to time here but the scene is pretty strongly progay (for a couple years there was a gay bar booking shows downtown and everybody from noisers to punkers to metal dudes lined up to play in front of a screen projecting hardcore gay pr0n) and prowoman (there are a couple of feminist collectives involved in the scene, one has been around for almost 15 years), with a high tolerance for outlandish behavior from all sides. most conflict I see is folks crowing on the local muso forums, I remember a post from somebody complaining that a band called faggot used the n word - personally, I did not expect that band to provide a flagrant display of decorum.

obv a lot of punk and noise bands are reflecting negativity or exploring transgression or w/e, and I'm kind of reading into yr post here w/o the details, but it's a tricky line to walk between critiquing oppression and being oppressive and a lot of bands can get it wrong real easy. the basics of aesthetics are tricky enough for most folks without playing with the fire of inflammatory speech. and nothing gets me crazier than ppl who go all out to offend and then get pissed cuz someone is in fact offended.

generally speaking if somebody's running a safe-space/anti-oppression venue and they don't want to book you, getting confrontational about it is NAGL. it's all well and good to defend freedom of expression but if somebody starts sounding like some pushy reverse discrimination asshole on fox news they might be part of the problem. and, real talk, if somebody doesn't like a booking policy they should book their own shows or start their own space.

new blank realm album on siltbreeze is cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI-JwaGmeQI

the album is a lot less "punk" than that live clip, more synths and clean guitars and weird shit, but is still cool

Los Crudos are playing a reformation show in Chicago in a few weeks at what appears to be a five-a-side soccerball pitch

new stnnng album is gonna smoke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvXG6nEWXeE

Izzy Pod, thanks for that.

i'd say that the bay area has many different scenes and factions, with some crossover. i'll break it down for you a bit.

- art/noise punks: i'd say that most of the band Izzy mentioned fall within this camp. tend towards either harsher noisy punk, minimal no-wave style, spastic sounds, or synth-punk. it's pretty diverse and pretty "pc" so to speak, but there's also some of the "let us use offensive imagery" bullshit (as in bands wearing Asatru symbols and other white supremacist related bullshit) within that camp. which is why....

- the anarcho-punk/crusty kids hate the art punks, but also engage in some heterosexist and homophobic shit from time to time, despite the fact that so many squatters and punks in the bay are queers. the sort of nasty shit that goes on in this scene mostly comes from...

- the metal and crossover kids, who are mostly fucking assholes. what's weird is that a lot of these people also are really into pop-punk, and are constantly at war with the art/noise punks because there is a noise/improv/weirdo music venue right next to a venerable old punk house in west oakland. no shit, when there are shows at that venue, the punk kids BLAST music from all the speakers in the house out the windows so that no one can go into the noise venue without being assaulted by punk spit and bile.

anyway. enough from me.

thanks for being really forthcoming, Izzy. sorry i didn't engage you in dialog at the time, but i was too pissed off to maintain composure. hope to see you again sometime.

do you guys listen to any european punk bands, new or old? i have been reading a lot of punk bands described as "euro-influenced" lately but i never know what they're referring to...

Concrete Sox have just cancelled all their upcoming shows.

xp any bands in particular? obv Europe is tiny etc etc but "euro-influenced" seems unhelpfully vague

hardcore punk bands i guess

if I was a betting man I'd envisage the more crazypants Italian and Finnish kinda bands from the 80s but yeah who knows really

there's still a finnish hardcore scene, as bands w/ unpronounceable names still come through town from time to time (and I'm in the US)

Any thoughts on the new Iceage album? Discussions on them are getting pretty heated lately

always been lukewarm on those guys, new album did nothing to sway me

more discussion here Iceage - You're Nothing

thought it was ok, "Burning Hand" and "You're Nothing" are the ones that stick out for me. New Brigade was better.

but yes the number of people retweeting an iceage pitchfork review and saying "fuck these Nazi assholes" is def on the uptick

been listening to the new pissed jeans. "cafeteria food" is funny to me.

you're dead
you died
and I'm feeling like http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyzolq3TtV1roaunyo1_250.gif

would be cool if they could sing a gif

pissed jeans and iceage are all good. not sure how i feel about iceage's politics, but i'm kinda used to that feeling of unease with metal bands.

I think Iceage write some really good songs (as in they sound awesome, but nothing groundbreaking), but the use of their imagery is stupid. It has nothing to do with their songs, so they have no reason to use it. I think if you're going to use imagery like that, you better have a reason, or be able to put it in context, like explain what you hope using those images will communicate. The way they just put it out there and refuse to talk about it just makes em seem like they want to stir up trouble in the easiest, laziest way possible. Not only that, but they've had tons of opportunities to defend themselves or at least give the images meaning, and instead, all they do is whine "we're not nazis, I don't get why everyone is so mad." I don't think theyre bigoted, or right wingers, I just think they did something stupid, and hopefully they learn from it as they grow up.

The way they just put it out there and refuse to talk about it just makes em seem like they want to stir up trouble in the easiest, laziest way possible.

if this is the case then it strikes me they've been largely unsuccessful in their efforts. to my knowledge the only outlets that have independently thrown accusations of fascism, or the imagery of such, out there is a blog from a year or so back, and an Australian music website last week, which took nearly all its observations from the previous blog. everyone else has been commenting off the back of these. the rest of your post is more or less otm the way I see it (although, unless there's something obvious I'm forgetting, none of the imagery or references that are catching them heat took place around the promo for the new album, and possibly not in the last 12 months - which makes it seem eminently possible to me that their interest in it is already fading)

bands using fascist imagery that aren't fascists = total bonerkill, incredibly lazy bullshit. GTFO as far as i'm concerned.

i think by euro people probably are talking about Finnish and Scandinavian hardcore in general, btw.

i want Skitsystem to come to the US again, btw.

http://www.chaosintejas.com/img/FLIER-0107_sm.jpg

lineup for this gets more :D every year

pretty sure i'm going this year :D

i didn't know the marked men were still around! fix my brain = all time classic

who's all in the damned nowadays i wonder?

i like this a lot and the video is siiiick

album is on bandcamp btw http://thighs.bandcamp.com//

the thing in vegas looks like my worst nightmare-- lots of craggy old dudes with lots of tats playing songs that i last thought were good when i was a teenager.

glad that you guys are digging thighs. they are ridiculously good live. don't think they'll be touring any time soon though as jared, the drummer, has obligations w/ his other group odonis odonis, who are currently touring w/ metz.

enjoy

^endorsing this post

any other sweet london bands right now? they are from london right?

this was one of the best HC records I heard last year no question: http://staticshockrecords.bandcamp.com/album/no

ex-Shitty Limits, as are Good Throb

Saw Good Throb last year, I liked them, not heard any recordings yet tho. I did recognise a couple of them from other bands. I think that guy from Shitty Limits is in every new punk/hc band in the south of England at the moment. Just seen they are playing Scumfest this year and Doom has just been confirmed as a headliner so I'll most likely be seeing them again there.

I'm not exactly on the ball wrt new London bands these days, was going to suggest Petty Bone but apparently they broke up already.

they're just looking for a new drummer

the lowest form - hardcore punk. better than iceage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHsEliBEIa8

dogfeet - gothish/industrialish TGish. they're quite young. really like their vibe and attitude. would like to produce their record.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGepgHdpnRM

xpost pity, their old drummer was awesome

I thought the Lowest Form had split up as well?

big thumbs up to:

VISION FORTUNE - like them best when they're repeating themselves
EARTH ROD - super mega fun
THE FAMILY ELAN - weirdos
KOGUMAZA - gringo innit
HOOKWORMS - riffs n wah pedals n that
GOOD THROB - think they're mentioned on this thread

my gf was gonna play drums with em but she's in a millions bands so couldn't do it, which is a shame cuz i really liked petty bone. maybe they've split for good now, this was a good few months ago.

thought i saw the lowest form billed a couple of weeks ago? shame if they have split up. did you ever see 'the human race' play? loved that band.did a follow up band 'the remnants of the human race' for a bit, bit it died an early death :'(

yeah TLF are on this https://www.facebook.com/events/151012471726289 they own but unless you're their friend or w/e it's nearly impossible to know what they're up to it seems

the Quietus just threw up (so to speak) a Queer'd Science interview today, they are from Manchester not London and deserve <3

they remind me of 31G Records stuff from the 00s, Holy Molar and Ex Models f.e.

and are standup boys and girls too

the lowest form - hardcore punk. better than iceage.

it's good but i dunno is iceage the new punching bag cuz they broke out? that band isn't really doing remotely the same thing

just thought it'd make ppl more likely to check em out, they played together a couple of times about the same time iceage were err "breaking out" so ilm ppl may have seen TLF then. also, live, TLF were better than iceage, so there

ah gotcha

this lowest form stuff is awesome

i like how slow these guys play

ok this rules http://derangedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wild-child

yeah solid attitude has that early keith morris/middle class/etc vibe. almost pre-hardcore LA in a way.

i'm generally more of a bratty punk vox over cookie monster or "big man" vocals kinda guy

yeah, same

another one of these ~crazy~ bands http://lumpythedumpers.bandcamp.com/ my friends played with them on tour & said their live show is even better than the recordings... recordings are incredible tho

soooo good https://soundcloud.com/nychardcorepunk/la-misma-saudade

they're not really punk at all anymore but there's a new gun outfit album out today

listening now, this is really great, very good early mission of burma/sonic youth vibes

new milk music album is good too, though again maybe a little too "rock" for this thread

eh i think it all counts

Great gig tonight, Vitamin X/Hello Bastards/Die/Ano, the last 2 being new London bands I think, Die were LOUD hardcore thrash, Ano more like shouty punk, the music inbetween the bands was those Dangerhouse comps from the 90s, awesome. Got a Lowest Form 7" and the new(ish) Anthrax UK album. And a Hello Bastards CD. I'm not vegan or straight edge though.

Anyone heard of Mynx yet? Awesome drums, bass & synth punk

Raspberry Bulbs imminent on Blackest Ever Black! http://blackesteverblack.bigcartel.com/product/raspberry-bulbs-i-deformed-worship-i-blackest018-lp

the game's changed

Not sure if this really counts as punk/non-indie anymore but this is a pretty good line-up IMO (tonight, The Dome, London):

Purling Hiss/White Fence/Mikal Cronin/King Tuff/Jacco Gardner

putting Purling Hiss on on Monday, should be fun

They just added King Tuff today, which is great, but the Upset the Rhythm email says Purling Hiss start at 11:30 now, which means I won't get to see them because of London's comical public transport

I'll probably just night bus it. It's Friday tomorrow.

They added King Tuff last week - something not v hard to decode like Special Guests Regal Toughs or something.

King Tuff are just replacing the Pheromoans anyway so I expect the gig was always gonna be that late

Liquors drunkened me and I asked mister king tuff if it was cool to have the fall turn up at your gig but he pointed out white fence dude was IN the fall so it was totally unsurprising. Oh well. Tbh I was impressed that MES was still upright at this hour.

man a local punk promoter is doing a show for this band called california x, they have a video on pitchfork so i guess they're kind of big but this is the first i've heard of them. anyways just want to say i really hope this is just a one-off thing and that this sound isn't coming back... the worst 90's - early 00's alt vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUEXSLDivS4

sediment club / guerilla toss split LP coming out on feeding tube... soonish?

which is apparently available at target, lawl

http://www.target.com/p/guerilla-toss/-/A-14576444

I love the california x record; it's far more a bubblegum-y version of dinosaur jr. sludge than it is early 00's alt rock. spider x is one of the weaker songs on the record. opening and closing tracks sucker and mummy are phenomenal.

also, seen them twice live and they are fun though clearly still a young band

ok cool. you're right that it's just dinosaur jr, i just don't like dinosaur jr

edward do you like dope body (baltimore)? seem like your kinda thing

yeah dope body are dope, posted them in the 2011 rolling punk thread iirc *totters away on cane*

iirc the California X track Pitchfork posted was the one thing I heard by em I enjoyed... got a cleaned up Fu Manchu vibe which I know on paper sounds like missing the point of Fu Manchu but w/e I dug it. other stuff I checked out didn't connect

are Dope Body one of those bands that climb over everything and make a mess? seem to recall this being suggested. if I'm not too busy next Weds I'll prolly go see em

what kind of spell do you say to summon contenderizer to this thread

Hmm Dope Body playing on Monday here. I'm already going to see the Melvins on Sunday and probably Seapony on Tuesday, and I'm already 2 nights in on what is probably going to turn into a weekend long binge (friends birthday tomorrow and said Melvins gig) so I'm not sure my liver/brain will stand up to a gig on Monday as well :(

http://curveddog.bandcamp.com/

kinda arty trash rock

missed a show with them tonight

http://thedeads.bandcamp.com/

also these dudes

like psychy dark funk punk

CONCRETE CROSS (a name which feels like the perfect intersection between interesting-sounding and generic-sounding) from NYC have made the best brickwall hardcore record that I'm aware of this year. the singer was in some bands in the 90s that passed me by like Indecision and Milhouse. anyway this rips and you can hear it here https://soundcloud.com/man-in-decline-records/sets/concrete-cross-self-titled-lp

Flopson,

Did you see Blank Realm or Total Control recently? Thinking after the fact that I shoulda gone to those 2 shows. Not sure if those Down Under groups fit here exactly but maybe they do.

I finally got around to listening to the crazy spirit LP that is some proper snotty hc. Tonight was a who's who of bristol hc, disorder, Fuk, lunatic fringe, plus.the varukers headlined (west midlands represent) . Fuk clearly the best of the lot tbh

u mean at chaos in tejas? i didn't end up going... or... did they play montreal?!

(xp curmudge)

So jealous of chaos in tejas

yeah,...

yeahhhhhh

i'm not sure where else to post this, but it rules super hard. 10-minute album jam-packed with huge riffs and hooks.
http://meltersmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dissed-and-dismissed

also http://ovlov.bandcamp.com/track/blue-baby

x-post to Flopson

Oh, I thought you were in the W. DC area like me. Blank Realm and Total Control were here

Weird, both of the bands I posted there are on SPIN today. I love predicting the future.

there is lots of good stuff at this but the Zigfrid Von Underbelly stage is worth the admission price on its own

despite actually passing through London on this day I can't go :(

never pass up an opportunity to see wtf dave thomas does at a pere ubu show!

when i saw them it was so amazing, in the middle of the set he got mad at the band and marched them offstage in the middle of the set to go yell at them.

then he was so mad at the crowd at the end he forbid any merch sales!

Don't call him "Dave."

Would he be upset if you asked him to sign an 8x10" of the founder of Wendy's?

Somehow I'd manage to completely avoid hearing about East End Live. Usually stuff like that turns up on my RSS feed from last.fm but I guess nobody added it yet, or they did this week when I haven't got around to setting up new RSS post google reader shutdown. I was going to go to see Despise You that night but this might well be a better choice. I've never seen Pere Ubu before. Trouble is with stuff like this I expect a lot of bands I'd like to see will clash with each other but there are no stage times as yet. I can live without seeing Comet Gain and Monochrome Set cos I've seen them before so it's not a big deal.

So anyway cheers for the heads up DJ Mencap.

i found out about this band a year ago through someone posting on this thread and man, they`re so good... really taut high energy punk with cool kinda minutemen-ey interludes. think you guys would really like em

also this whatever brains album on sorry state is a fun listen: http://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/whatever-brains-2013

Just got into Whore Paint. They get a lot of Arab on Radar and Doomsday Student comparisons, but I don't hear it. I think MRR described them best "babes in Toyland meets Christian Death."

― Izzy Pod, Wednesday, January 23, 2013 7:37 PM (5 months ago)

their record's dropping soon. sounds like they captured the weird muscle/space/force of their live show so I'm psyched.

https://soundcloud.com/load-records/whore-paint-this-body

MHV were fucking rad. They're kinda done now tho. The twins in the band (Wyatt and Fletcher, drums and bass, respectively) have a two piece drum and bass band called The Garden that are amazing. Kind of a mix of post punk, garage, surf, and experimental. They have a few albums available on bandcamp. They're kind of blowing up. I booked them at the last show I put together. In addition to that, each member of MHV has a solo project. Fletcher does the synthpop Puzzle, Wyatt does the straight pop Enjoy, and Rex (the singer/guitarist) does this awesome acoustic+drum machine emo project called Rexx.

too bad, i'll check out the sideprojects tho thx for the tip

listening to polvo

The new Polvo?

this gas rag demo is one of the best punk releases ive heard this year http://gasrag.bandcamp.com/

sort of converge-core with incongruous bratty vocals, it's Old Wounds; great record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rW78o0GrME

this Ovlov record is phenomenal, big thanks to whoever posted it

Been kind of obsessed with this song:

Raspberry Bulbs imminent on Blackest Ever Black! http://blackesteverblack.bigcartel.com/product/raspberry-bulbs-i-deformed-worship-i-blackest018-lp

the game's changed

― warm leveret (DJ Mencap), Thursday, May 16, 2013 6:04 AM (2 months ago)

smash bash howl, sound good

I saw Radkey open a show last night and they bowled me over. These kids are the real deal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5K0ZOH-koY

saw these dudes open for hunx & chain & the gang last night, immediately fell in love with front lady

i dig how she and the guitarist are in the same register so when they sing together they just sound like one of them is being chorused

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ViiJy_2vEU

ugh i will never understand how youtube works here i swear

just don't leave the 's' for 'secure' at the beginning of yr url, it won't git auto-embedded

So I got the promo for the new/old BL'AST! record, BLOOD!, which is supposed to be a long-forgotten session of the songs they recorded for It's In My Blood! that they found the tapes for, etc etc. But I'm playing it, and the guitar tracks sound identical to the SST album. And the sloppy drum hits are in the right places. If I was a betting man, I'd wager this was actually a remix of It's In My Blood!. Hmm.

iirc it was pretty badly mixed but I guess that goes without saying since it came out on SST

Just weird that they wouldn't sell it as a remix of the original album. Legal issues with Ginn, perhaps?

I could be wrong, and I don't have any fancy software to compare, but the guitar tracks are identical to my ears. I'm not even sure where William DuVal's supposed second guitar fits into the mix.

oh shit, radkey is playing chicago the weekend after next about a 10 minute walk from my house, thanks for the heads up on them

Hopefully nobody throws a knife at them during their set. Apparently that's how New Orleans greeted them.

gaytheist yall http://gaytheist.bandcamp.com/

Anyone know Big Dick out of Ottawa? Drum/bass duo that plays heavy post-hardcore tunes. Ex-members of Million Dollar Marxists.

Also, this is my first posting after reading ILX for years.

Also also, I made that music video, so I hope it isn't uncouth to post.

decided i'm gonna up the $30 and go see the Flag tour when it comes through mpls

watched video of the moose lodge shows and it seems p raging

plus a good experience seeing Off! a couple years ago makes me think it will be good.

is Sacred Bones indie. Destruction Unit is good and so is the new Pop. 1280.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJxQgzE9c7A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qADJHFyXEdU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJxQgzE9c7A

destruction unit's playing in boston w/ pharmakon in a couple weeks. debating.

they played first on a three-band bill with Milk Music and Merchandise and I missed em :/

new hoax lp... crushing

https://soundcloud.com/failingfast/sets/lp

I always go back'n'forth on 'em a bit but yeah it's good isn't it

seeing Merchandise later. suspect the venue is going to be a sight bigger than the audience they'll attract but should be fun

new jacuzzi boys album is fantastic

into the new obits album too despite not really liking anything else i've heard by them

our local boys Blind Shake, who have been amazing for nearly 10 years now, have new record coming out on Castle Face (John Dwyer's label) and i hope y'all check it out

heard good things about jacuzzi boys

i'm going to see oh sees with blind shake opening in late october, considering going to see jacuzzi boys and king tuff even though they're opening for wavves

joanna gruesome and pottymouth albums seem promising too

blind shake hands down one of the great live bands around now you will dig it

Joanna Gruesome album is a fine example of the kind of thing that it is but in all fairness should never be discussed in a thread with "non-indie" in its title

fair enough but then you should probably discount everything else i posted today too. the problem is the rolling indie threads seem to operate on a more british definition of "indie" as twee wussy stuff which is not what i'm interested in.

lot of tweepop in JG's game is all. not heard Pottymouth but I thought they were an at least somewhat riot grrrl-derived thing as per their name, no?

Eh it's fine when I started the first thread I just wanted a place to talk about good new rock that wasn't like shins and the national and crap

DJ Asscap

DJ Thread Policecrap

thank god the famous punk rock spirit has returned to the thread, that was a pretty scary 15 hours or so

I LOVE what I've heard of the new Blind Shake. Completely unfair, but I do miss Michael Yonkers with them.

Speaking of Minneapolis, Sh@kedown, where do you fall down on Kitten Forever? I think that song is the most amazing thing to get regular-rotation Radio K airplay since I don't know when.

yeah they are cool

i kinda like any band that l@ura is in (baby guts, cadette, etc) she has a good feel for punk, kitten forever is a little poppier than baby guts bu

but i like it :)

cadette:
http://cadette.bandcamp.com/album/flesh-without-hunting

Yeah, I think Baby Guts was my last basement show (ashamed to say). I forgot to mention, I heard this at Hymie's and picked it up:

http://thegatewaydistrict.bandcamp.com/

The first song, at least, is truly great.

haha i haven't been to basement show in years and i'm not ashamed at all

yeah i heard a few things from them...

rabbit holes seem like they are gonna b p good (ex tora tora torrance, voytek)

http://rabbitholesmn.bandcamp.com/

(& ex charles de gaulle)

gonna try to make it to the stnnng in-show here on saturday

You should!

going to FLAG tonight

keith morris singing nervous breakdown...gonna die

self otm

the new potty mouth is a really eerie recreation of 90s indie punk but they have good songs and can really play. bonus points for actually getting a good sound in the studio not settling for lo-fi

stnnng was fucking awesome btw, even in broad daylight in front of 20 people in a record store

yeah they bring it!

unrelated:

I never really like No Age before but this new album is pretty brilliant.

Still kiting off last week's Patti Smith/No Age show (at the old train depot in St. Paul). And Flag!

flag was so good

couldn't do both

sounds like the patti thing was way cool, ariel pink cameo i heard?

bonus pts for song lengths

http://ratstab.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2013

It's a pretty punky weekend for me. Rival Mob/Mind Eraser/Violent Reaction tonight and D.O.A.'s last ever tour tomorrow night.

Anyone know where I might be able to get a copt of NASA Space Universe's EGM EP, or better yet the ICE/EGM tape? My Google-fu is failing me.

Wage Theft (great band name & like this crazy spazz punk)

http://wagetheft.bandcamp.com/

I missed D.O.A.'s gig in D.C. But they were always fun live when I saw 'em way back when

Yeah it was just Joey Shithead + 2 randoms but it was a fun gig. Mostly the old classic stuff and a couple of new ones. Good crowd too, which made me happy cos a lot of the oldsters don't draw much of a crowd in London these days, especially at that venue for some reason. E.g. saw the Lyres there a few weeks ago, "classic" line-up, first time in London in 27 years etc, half empty.

That was a great couple of nights of gigs all round, the Rival Mob/Mind Eraser gig was awesome, one of the best hardcore shows I've been to in a while. Crowd was mental.

this Impalers album is pretty banging Motorhead punk so far. think I shall pay someone money for a waxy legal version in fact

Wage Theft (great band name & like this crazy spazz punk)

From the man who brought you Lard Mountain.

hahahaha hey JRN! :)

anyone else listened to Body/Head (the new Kim Gordon deal)...it's pretty awesome! really free form noise guitar but yet kinda mellow and meditative

hi, i'm a fuckhead for dodging this thread so far this year. i been listening to metal pretty much, plus other stuff. not much punk. but that impaler album is fucking rad. also love power trip and mastodon grinder, two other chris ulsh bands.

hoax!

and thanks a billion for radkey, first i've heard, loving the dogshit out of this

tried to listen to that body/head thing and couldn't get through it. then a song came up on shuffle a couple weeks later and I dug it so maybe best in small doses? lotsa ppl seem to dig it, then again lotsa ppl like late era sonic youth so idk

Oh Sees/Blink Shake/OBNIIIs was awesome last night. I admire Blind Shake's stylistic consistency.

yeah they've been so good for so long, some of the best live shows i've ever seen

I don't like any of the post-Sonic Youth spinoff albums :( Body/Head seemed like the best bet but I just don't have the patience for that kind of thing anymore.

I saw Body/Head live earlier this year -- it was kinda meandering I just didn't have the patience for that long a set of that kind of thing. Maybe if I liked guitars more?

Really liking Wage Theft and the Curved Dog links posted upthread

Dude from Truman's Water/Soul-Junk has a new garage-rock band called Octagrape that is pretty awesome despite the shitty name: http://octagrape.bandcamp.com/ nice and fuzzy and hooky

yeah this is really good!

dang, "real light" got me on board in like 15 seconds

is there a word for BLANG BLANG chicka-chicka?

also, kelpo creeps (they play for keeps)

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/soundposts/2013/09/10/weed/

weeeeed

http://weed.bandcamp.com/

new audacity is so fucken great. ambitious, crafty, memorable: everything good. riyl exploding hearts, redd kross, supergrass, early xtc, squeeze, power pop and/or music. fuck devin maloney with a flaming pitchfork.

this weed album is fantastic, thanks j

yeah, 'sgood. not sure about fantastic, but i'm definitely enjoying the 1st listen. shoegrunge!

if anything, picks up momentum as it goes - loving the trippy swirl of "silent partner" and "hollowed out"

so yeah, thanks j

(and "fantastic" is starting to sound conservative)

hah that escalated quickly.gif

shoegrunge is really a growth industry this year between this and the Ovlov record (which I love)

can always count on contenderizer to be overcome by enthusiasm when a record is playing

at the moment weed sound to me kind of like hum if hum were a lot dumber and weeded out and had never listened to rush

like hum if hum were a lot dumber and weeded out and had never listened to rush

all to the good. and guilty as charged, but i'm liking it just as much today, in retrospective afterglow. just ordered vinyl from couple skate!

my hum comparison wore off after i left my office and put my headphones back on, but there is still a bit of it in the vocals and the general haze of the guitars.

ah, 90s harmonies.

this Weed is pretty dank stuff

like hum if hum were a lot dumber and weeded out and had never listened to rush

feelin this description, otm

every once in awhile a riff will remind me of gish-era pumpkins

yeah just think if they had a jimmy chamberlain

yeah don't mind this drummer tho, gives it a more pounding thuggy vibe than pumpkins or hum

been cleaning out the basement, ran across this CD, what a classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYuWBPtLu4k

yeah, great song. production's a little slick though.

lol

new audacity is so fucken great. ambitious, crafty, memorable: everything good. riyl exploding hearts, redd kross, supergrass, early xtc, squeeze, power pop and/or music.

the audacity record rules - they get so much mileage out of those big tempo/key changes. sounds great as a slightly mellower west coast counterpart to that so so glos record, almost (aka the other recent thing i love that openly apes exploding hearts, which is a reference point i'm REALLY okay with more bands having in 2013)

I liked the exploding hearts but is that comparison a bit overused? I mean they were just a Boys homage with a tragic story. You could just say "they sound like The Boys".

or you could say, they sound like The Exploding Farts

to me, the exploding hearts make a tighter comparison where audacity are concerned simply because i hear the same "squeeze-like" sense of melody & harmony in both. not saying that either owes anything directly to squeeze, just that i can't help hearing a commonality. and sure, the boys, yeah.

guitar romantic is a perfect thing

and i thought that before they died so it's not that

this audacity is good....but basically there are 3 albums in that sorta vein that are so good i almost never listen to anything else in that vein: Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic, Marked Men - Fix My Brain, and Jay Reatard - Blood Visions

yeah, those are all-time, can't deny it. dunno that audacity is quite at that level, hook-wise, but i like the (relative) complexity of their song construction, the tension between flailing chaos and ambitious pop craftsmanship. each of their albums has half-impressed me at first, but only really opened up over a substantial number of listens.

("flailing chaos" dialed back on the new one)

yeah i like how they throw in a lot of tempo and feel changes in their songs a lot of those bands don't do that

new Fake Limbs album: http://fakelimbs.bandcamp.com/

What's the name of the Audacity LP? I'm only seeing a 2012 one on their Bandcamp (I am bad at Google)

new one's called butter knife and features an incandescent chest wound. i owe know why their bandcamp is still pushing last years's model.

i like the audacity. seems a bit monochromatic. but i can give it time.

prefer gaytheist at the moment as far as bratty/snotty guitar records go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2KNxYVPd54&feature=youtu.be

that's so cuet :) the church of punk!

have we talked about the new Cheap Time...it's fucking great!

I see the guy who does Church of Punk at gigs all the time. Crusty dude with face tattoos. Don't know him tho.

I skipped Cheap Time gig last week to see the Cockney Rejects/Spizz Energi/Chron Gen/Vice Squad instead. Keeping it old school. Going to Conflict/Subhumans all-dayer tomorrow, not sure if system will be comprehensively smashed but I'm sure they'll have a good crack at it.

I haven't listened to the Cheap Time album yet but the Jeffrey Novak solo album (Lemon Kid) is pretty good.

I googled this band so you wouldn't have to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i07jeinliKE

brainbombs have a lot to answer for

(awesome track tho!)

got the Hoax LP in the post today. the packaging is awesome, with six hueg doublesided foldout posters with artwork and lyrics for each song. the only thing is their lyrics are basically terrible so it kind of comes off as absurdly hubristic

can u post some lyrics

band from Mpls:
MRS.

they have a new album:
https://mrsband.bandcamp.com/album/cave

it's pretty 90s non indie underground, but i'm really into it. it's got this hyper percussive white funk goes Am Rep/Pigbag meets DEVO...the vocals could be a love it or hate it deal...i dunno...the hyper fussiness of the arrangments is doing something for me

I've been loving the Weed and Ovlov albums people mentioned in this thread - what other bands are doing that 90s-aping Dino jr. Worship stuff?

Whoa I hadn't listened to Ovlov yet and it's fantastic and I'm not even really that big of a Dino Jr fan.

xp

California X is very much a bubblegum-y take on Dino jr. worship and very good

Milk Music too, not bubblegum, just Dino

This rules: http://cleangirls.bandcamp.com/

noisy/goth-y/punk stuff. First song reminds me a bit of Pissed Jeans; third track is probably the most hypnotic

whoops; specifically meant this e.p.: http://cleangirls.bandcamp.com/album/last-house-ep

thx, that's some good shit

http://www.npr.org/2013/09/01/216461958/first-listen-potty-mouth-hell-bent

Since the album was from 2013 and is still streaming and they're on tour in the US now (DC tomorrow night) I posted that here. Does NPR streaming status make them no longer non-indie?
